I bought a Nova in camo and I'm glad I did because I always wanted one. When it starts getting worn down I can just touch it up with some spray paint and call it good.  :IBCOOL:

I'll probably never buy another as I don't really think it's worth the extra money, though.  :twocents:

Follow Bob 33's instructions and use duracoat and it's really protective.

I was thinking about spraying my winchester pump but I'm worried about getting paint in the action and screwing everything up. Any advice bob33?

Remington 870 in matte black. If that won't solve it for ya', get a $3.95 roll of camo gun/bow tape.  :twocents:

The Camo tape works well, just make sure you don't get it soaked w/ saltwater and let it sit. Don't ask how I know this ;(

Keeps the rust down.  The only reason I got my SBEII camo.

Have had an 870 express for a decade now, used it for waterfowl last year and beat it up bad.  Grabbing the wood with saltwater soaked gloves did not do it any favors.   Bought an 887, and although I am not completely sold on the gun, I do like the coating process used.  The camo seems a bit bright, but the protection offered is nice.  If you do not wipe off your gun ass soon as you walk in the door, it will not immediately rust.  Just my 2 :twocents:.

They have the snake skins that you can put over your gun and use the hair dry to shrink on.  If your going to paint it. Tape up the parts you don't want sprayed.  You can also send in the gun for about $150 and have it dipped.  You can also sell it and pick up a Benelli Nova or a camo'ed gun.

I love a beautiful blued shotgun, and have plenty of them, Just got sick of seeing the rust build on them in a matter of minutes, Got my Franchi I12 max-4 camo,now the only thing that rusts is the trigger and the bolt, I don't know many people that use it but they make stuff called RUST-GUARDIT it puts a wax coat on the gun works great and sprays on, The other thing about camo guns other people think your way to into hunting, and I LOVE IT! :drool:

I bought my SX3 in camo because of the duratouch finish. That's the only reason. Ducks obviously don't care. I have to say i'm now finding myself wanting a nice blued gun with wood stocks. Next purchase.
