New paint job for the .25....
« on: January 17, 2009, 04:36:07 PM »
I've had this HSP stock on my .25 for a while now... and with all this talk about Krylon lately... I figured it was high time to play with some paint.

Before:



Started by painting the whole stock Khaki (from now on I'm using the word TAN... saying khaki makes me feel kind of funny). Then I swiped some long plastic grass from a flower argangement to use as a stencil.



I alternated TAN and Olive untill I was satisfied with how it looked. That's the beauty of the Krylon... you just keep painting untill it looks the way you want. Should be a good patern for east side coyotes and such...

Did you put down primer 1st?  And did you put any clear on to protect?  I like that pattern.  Great job

No primer... just wiped it down with acetone. I put on 4 or 5 layers... no clear coat. I'm not that worried about the finish, the Krylon seems to  hold up pretty well. Besides, if it wears off a little... I'll just paint it again.
