Hi everyone!

I've just finished building a Remington 700 SPS tactical all on a budget build & everything purchased on CGN. Took some time but I found everything I needed. What I'm going to do now it paint my new found love but want to hear any recommendations on the best way to do it.

Also, I would love to see how other members have decorated their bang sticks. So post your pictures!

Thanks in advance.
 
I just did a relatively simple paint job on my ruger 10/22. I had never tried painting anything but I'm happy how it came out. Scuffed up the stock withsome steel wool, wiped everything down with varsol, then gave it a "texture" coat on the stock(I used a krylon product called make it stone), gave everything a base coat of krylon ultra flat tan, then layed a net over top and went to town with krylon ultra flat olive and brown.

Ended up with this guy.

If your looking to do a simple spray paint job like I did, I'd strongly suggest trying your hand at it and different pattern types on something likena gun case. Just to be sure you'll be happy with it.

I'm guessing a sponge was used on the wet paint.............

And you're the winner!

A couple rattle cans of Krylon, a torn up REAL sea sponge (real makes much nicer pattern than your average toilet cleaning sponge)

I started with a base coat of the tan. Then added the stripes in green

Then I just sprayed some black paint in a paper bowl and sponged some on here and there. Following the same method, I then sponged tan on the green strips, and green on the tan stripes. The black was just to break up the tan/green a little. The trick is not to go too heavy with the sponging, or it will end up looking very "busy".

Then a couple days later, VOILA!!

Now you know my secret, don't go posting it on any public forums or anything :p Have fun
 
that was way more exciting then mine, just a base of tan... then grabbed the plastic mesh off the top of a box of tangerines, used it as a stencil when laying down light strokes of OD Green and matte black... I wanted a primary of tan so went easy on both other colours. Then dusted it with a clear coat to prevent easy scratches and chips. (no baking - but if it wasn't a hunting rifle, i'd suggest that route)
