Posted pic in an earlier topic about a barrel question ( which one to buy?) and not one comment about my green roll marks? Loveum or hateum, it's all mine.

After all Washington is the evergreen state. halfProblem is, I haven't finished my first and I'm already thinking a lightweight build for the wife. Gotta love this site!

How did you paint the logos?

Used Testors enamel paint and a Testors Model Master brush 3/0 fine tip.
Let it dry for about 10-15 min. Then took a couple layers of gun patches and rubber banned them on top of one of the small paint bottle to make a flat surface. Put a little hoppy's solvent on it and gently rubbed off any paint not in the grooves.
Hope that helps.

That's a lot of help, thanks! So you just painted as closely in the logo as you could and removed the rest? What is hoppy's solvent?

the green is kinda cool, but I still like my white paint job:

The green looks cool! The whole idea of building it yourself is to get the gun the way YOU like it. Call it your Christmas rifle

1st build back half done, just waiting for the 16" Middy and bolt to complete.

Green Mega ? My A$$, This is a green Mega.......

Hey, just joking, that is a very professional looking job. That weapon will serve you well.

Thats right. and I misspelled hoppe's No. 9 solvent.
The trick is to let it dry enough and use a flat wipe to keep from picking up the paint from the grooves. I purposely did not fill the roll marks to the brim for a faint look.

Nevadasun, that green Mega would look SO sweet with the rollmarks filled in flat black...
