Title: New paint job for the .25....
Post by: JoshT 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...
