I figured that this would be the ideal rifle to experiment with so I picked up some Arma-coat poly paint at the Calgary Easter show and finally got around to applying it. The pattern turned out the way I wanted but the color contrast is a bit more subtle than I would like. Best part about paint is that it can always be painted over.





 
latley when I see an "I painted" anything thread I think to myself... "how bad can it be?"

your looks pretty cool, what kind of paint was this stuff ? how do you get the groovy looking aligator skin effect ?

I'm guessing laundry bag or a net of some sort. Spray base coat, let dry, put on net and spray second colour. I've used this before and it looks pretty cool.
 
Thanks for the positive replies. The paint is a polyurethane intended for use on firearms and once fully cured it is very hard wearing (won't chip like Krylon and other enamels) and is impervious to cleaning products. The only drawback is that you require access to a spray gun to apply and should have a respirator and/or paint booth as it contains some nasty chemicals that are bad for the body.

The camo pattern was indeed done with netting material. Very simple to do and I really like the effect it creates.

I purchased my Tapco stock from SKSman a couple of years ago and am very satisfied with the quality and functionality. Because the butt length is adjustable my teenage girls can comfortably shoot this rifle.
 
I was never completely happy with the colors on my first attempt at painting my sks so I gave it a maker over a couple of weeks ago. Same basic pattern but with greater contrast.

Oh, and again I did this with polyurethane paint. The last paint job held up incredibly well with the only sign of wear being in the spots where parts rubbed together. It's even impervious to cleaning solvents and the harshest chemicals you would ever consider using on a firearm. If you want a permanent paint job then I would highly recommend using poly.
