show me your paint job.

[jasnt]

I really enjoy painting camo. I camo all kinds of stuff from my rifles, pistols, shooting sticks, bipods, ect.   I wanna see your camo jobs paint or not.

ill start it with a few ive done.




more to come

[coyotecrazy]

Sure looks great! I have one or two I would like Camo on but haven't tried it yet

[jasnt]

one of my first ones

[Blacklab]

Sweet paint. I have an old black rifle that needs to be painted or sold.

[carpsniperg2]

Not the best picture of the gun. Best I have ever done. My stoger turkey/coyote shotgun painted with the sponge/spray paint technique.

[hunting4sanity]

Great looking work jasnt.  What kind of paint do you use and how well does it hold up?  Again, those look very good.

I used krylon and rustolium brands spray paint.  Holds up pretty good. I normally repaint every other year. But I'm also pretty hard on all my gear.

[motg9_6]

Jasnt is that an xlr element chassis on you first pic?

[jasnt]

Jasnt is that an xlr element chassis on you first pic?

yes sir that is. I LOVE it!

[motg9_6]

I can't decide element or evolution!

[jasnt]

Highly recommend the folding stock option. Makes cleaning so much easier and lock up is tight. 

[motg9_6]

For sure it's a must

[jasnt]

Mine is the tactical evolution. I like how stream line it is. Not hanging up in the brush. I pack this rifle alot. Its taken a beating and hasn't failed yet!

I like it. I've been wanting to try the sponge method for a more bark contrast. I may play with it this winter.  I've got an old 30-30 to paint for a friend,I'll post up those pics when I'm finished.

There is a great write up on predator master on how to do it. I have done it twice. The first one I learned a lot and the 2nd one. The shotgun, came out perfect. You really want to press the sponge into the paper plate after getting some paint on it. So the sponge marks are smooth. If it's to thick, when it dries it will have a little ruff texture to it.

[jasnt]

That is some good looking work! Got a feeling that involves a bit more artistic ability than I have.

its really not hard. Think what colors you want then start with the details slowly. Lets say you want a tan back ground with light brown, grey, dark brown, and maybe some green foliage. You paint the hole rifle the color of your finest details first(after primer) then wrap with the stencils, I use alot of string like yarn or heavy fishing line, then paint the next detail color.  Then when just dry to the touch add the next layer of stencil(either nor string or rope or split masking tape) then paint next dtail color. This is often when I start tying on the plastic plants. Few at first, I like dark olive first, then paint again,kaki or light green. Adds more plants then paint the back ground color. After it's just dry enough to handle(don't rush it but don't wait till completely setup) and remove all stencils and string.  If you want this is the time to clear coat but I normally don't cause it makes it shiny. I like flat colors best.

[runningboard]

synthetic stocked '06 I did for a friend, had "UGLY" knife carving on buttstock. so I used a "crinkle" finish paint to cover and fill after sanding as I would have had to sand very deep to get rid of carving. then used krylon camo colors and real leaves from my yard, he loves it and it was cheap re-do. want to do my 22-243 in white with black coyote prints mixed with gray bobcat prints for a snow camo pattern.

[jasnt]

Running board. Your pic isn't showing up for me

[runningboard]

I think I fixed it

[jasnt]

Yup it works now.    I couldn't figure out how to get to your gallery from my phone. Thanks for sharing.  I like the orange in there. I been playing with orange in my camo a little bit, makes it a little easier to see. A friend always teases me about possibly loosing my rifles if I set one down.

[scottcrb]

Wow no duck boats yet ?

[jasnt]

Nice boat. 

[jasnt]

Few more. The shotgun was just resent. The savage is a friends I did last summer

its hard to find good fake plants for camo. Best I found was at a pet shop for terrariums. Smaller leaves look good and as you added more in layers it starts to gather a little bit of color here and there and adds depth.
Spend as much time taping as you do painting. What I mean here is your paint job will only be as nice as your tape job. Cleaner and tighter your lines are the better it will look. Use a sharp razor knife to clean up your tape

I love using rope or other thick stencil material cause when you spray the thick stuff catches paint differently than all tape stencils. Adds depth and blends some colors. Remember you paint in the for ground first and work to the back ground. I.e. You fist stencils will be in front followed be each additional layer of stencil

[crowinghen]

Nice work!
Obviously you have been doing this for a while. Do you recommend any articular type.brand of tape?

[b23]

This is my daughters extreme long range hunting rig.

It was done by a gunsmith friend that specializes in long range rifles as kind of a favor to my little girl, who isn't so little anymore.

Looks great blackpowderhunter! What did you use to get the webbing pattern?

[JDHasty]

Flat black w/webbing spray over it

[Wazukie]

Did this one a couple years ago just for fun.

[blackpowderhunter]

Looks great blackpowderhunter! What did you use to get the webbing pattern?

It's just a krylon webbing paint you can find at craft stores. I did a matte clear over everything otherwise I feel like the webbing would rub off very easily with use. For clear I used automotive wheel paint clear. In my mind at least that should be a bit stronger and hold up better to any chemicals like cleaner that may come in contact with the stock.
