I just painted a fiberglass GI stock and handguard with a desert camo scheme. Here is a picture of what it looks like.
I'm going to do another one in a fall/winter grasslands pattern. What colors would you guys suggest? Coyote tan as a base? Dirt Brown and OD Green as the other main colors, with a touch of Desert Tan here and there? Your suggestions are appreciated!

For fall/winter..2 diferent browns,a slate red color, black,and OD green maybe some light grey.For winter white with green spltches works well..itll be tough for both.Nice paint job by the way.

On m-14forum there was a member who did that in several interesting patterns. I snt him a stock and had it done up in gloss black with a cool flame job.

Good job man. I would think the one you got wouldn't be all that bad for winter. Lighter hues and all.

Thanks. But I'm looking for something that will fit into a scrub oak, grass land environment. The desert tan base coat is too light I believe. Blending in with trees and grass will be hard to do. So the base coat has to be right.
Here's a picture of the base coat on the stock before I finished it.
Too light IMO.
Here's a pic up closer with the window screen templates finish I used to shoot the break up colors.
I want to use the same methods but the colors will have to be different for the winter trees and grass.
