Battleworn 870

[DCFF]

I had originally done a darker version of this Remington 870 but the customer wanted it to be more silver in color.
So BAM....what the customer wants....
He said "make it look like John Wayne just pulled it from his saddle scabbard"
Wood refinished as well.


this was the original.

[VICIOUS]

Really!

Is it light blue, or is that just how it looks on my phone?

 

[CanadianBaconPancakes]

I dont know if its just my phone but thats not really battle worn look.

Looks more like rust worn than battle worn.

It looks wicked for what it is and what the customer wants !!!!

But.......i could never do this to one of mine though!

What did you use to refinish the wood?

I can't really say I like it BUT if that's what the customer wanted and he's happy with the end result then I'd have to say that it's a job well done.

It’s “seasoned”

 

[HONEY]

Can you make it to pair the iPhone.

looks like a few shots of brown paint over the finish, not really anything like battle worn paint jobs, but if its what the customer wants then that's all that matters i guess

It is not blue. I guess the sun made it look like that. He wanted it silver with a hint of tan to knock it down and the rust color all over.
Hey I get ya...not for me either lol

Agreed....I had done a darker finish to start...but he wanted it changed to a lighter shade.

"Battleworn" ?? more like cyberpunk fantasy, they did a decent job creating some of the worn lines but but that bronze just doesn't work...

I like the original job you did. The rust still looks fake though
