Looking to Colour a 14" Shotty. Wanna help?

[senecaty]

Hey fellas,

I'm looking at colouring up a 14" HP9 in the future (Ceracoat, Aervoe, Duracoat...etc). I've got a few ideas for colour schemes but could use your input. The purpose of the colour is 50% aesthetics and 50% silhouette breakup. The furniture will be an SGA stock and Hogue forend.

The ideas are: Green (metal)/Black, Green (metal)/Tan, Brown (metal)/Black, Brown (metal)/Tan

Black of course would be the most cost effective. Then again...so would keeping it as is.

Current:

Green/Black:

Green/Tan:

Brown/Black:

Brown/Tan:
Can't find one...which kind of makes me want to try it!

Annnnnnnnnd Go!

OD green would look great with black furniture.But if you're keeping the wood black Ceracoat would be a vast improvement over the weak Norinco park job.

Thanks! Very true, anything is better than the stock job. For metal I was thinking of OD Green or Field Drab (close to coyote).

Keep the wood and go with od green on the metal. Would be an awesome look.

Wood and tan metal would look cool.

Wood and tan or OD would look awesome! I like your style!!!

However, I prefer the function of a shorter lop.

Black and brown is starting to feel pretty tempting. Easy to get black parts, it's the reverse of oem and it might just look like I'm carrying a stick...lol

I don't dig green painted shotguns at all myself. It always looks unnatural IMO.
Stealth or Slate Gray metal and tan or FDE furniture would be my pick.

If you'd like a shorter LOP why not cut down the existing wood? That way you can make it the exact length that you want it.

I like it the way it is myself, maybe cut the fore end down to police length.
