finished my first gun painting attemp

[RUSTSPOT]

new pic

picked it up few days ago, shot a couple boxes and decided it needs a make over

super dirty on the inside, i spent a good 3 hours to disassemble and clean every single piece

i sanded off all the checkering on the stock

put a little texture on it

ready to spray

finish with epoxy coating.

i'll finish it with a desert camo when i have time.

Very nice.... what did you use for texture?

 

[RUSTSPOT]

automotive bumper texture coating or rock guard would work. this is my poor man's duracoating. the materiel cost is about 10 bucks VS 100 bucks for duracoat kit.

Awesome job! the gun looks - and I imagine feels - 100% better. I'm curious though - why didn't you do the heast shield/ upper handguard?

i picked the gun up used at a gun shop (reliable guns) everything as is so i dont know where all the bits and pieces came from. it's an older mini, made the early 80's according to the serial# . it's a beater gun for me to try things on and go hunting with .i like the 2 tone look, that's why i didnt paint the upper.

Looks quality. Did you use an adhesion promoter?

yeah i did. i just used spray bomb to finish the camo patten. but it sticks pretty well to the epoxy coating.

I'm starting my project this weekend. Is there anything that I need to know about painting over the rock guard? I was hoping to use that plus the krylon camo spray cans. Suggestions please.

Second.... how "textured" does it feel? 1 being a baby's bottom and 10 being a brick.

Thanks
