Another gun painting thread

[Bryan Carvalho]

I've done a search and really haven't found the answers I'm looking for. I've painted a few stocks and done a few different camo patterns with some good success and for my next project I'd like to closely match the c14 timberwolf camo patern on one of my McMillan A4 stocks. I was reading on another thread that it's olive, forest green and tan. Where could I find these paint colours or close to them? I like using krylon stuff because when I'm screwing around with something new I feel as if I can just strip it, however I'll buy any of the more permanent paints and I do believe my brother has an air brush kit so that's an option as well. Any help/guidance/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Site sponsors 4GT and Armacoat should both be able to set you up.

Krylon has printable camo paterns on their website.
Camo paint section.
Myself i am minutes from shaking a krylon can in my basement...


Edit, just researched C14 pattern, while these might not be perfect some of them may work

Ya I've made my own stencils for both woodland pattern and a digi pattern. What I'm actually looking for is the colours. If anyone has sprayed a similar colour scheme to the c14 I'd like some info on where you got your paints. Cheers

This is what fde and olive krylin camo ended up looking like on mine. The 223 is finished in rustoleum clear and hasnt chipped or faded in 2~ years. The shotgun is finished in clear header paint and hasnt damaged a bit banging around in my boat all summer.

Beetle Outdoor Supply brings in Duracoat. He can get any of their product in a reasonsble amount of time. His prices are close to those listed on the Lauer website.

Here's the thing: both McMillan, Manners and most of the custom stock painters paint their stocks with Polane-T (for the stocks that are painter, not the molded in patterns). Duracoat is just Polane-T re-packaged (and thinned so that it works on moving metal parts). So, you are more likely to find the exact colors with Duracoat.
