I bought all camo series of Krylon, works good on my inexpensive rifle.

p.s. Not too sure why you fly the Confederate flag, unless you're an american.

krylon spary works good
if you have an airbrush kit the testors model paints work well also

Hey [removed condescending name], why does the confederate flag symbolize racism? "Give your headgear a shake new guy"

"...thinking of painting my rifle..." What rifle? Wood stock or plastic?

PS Wikipedia isn't a credible resource ....

Yeah and the swastika is a hindu symbol for well being.

pr-marksman, what are you painting?
If it's plastic, give the parts you're painting a scuff with steel wool, then wash it off with alcohol.
I would also reccomend Krylon paint covered with a matte clear laquer to give it some abraision resistance. Just remember to paint multiple THIN coats. A little goes a long way. Good luck and post pics when you're finished.

this is a beginners question so bear with me.
When you paint your rifles, do you disassemble it and paint the parts individually (stock, rifle, scope, bolt) or do you paint it all at once?

if your doing a camo patern like snakeskin, digital or other its best to seperate to do the base color then reassemble for the detail colors well thats how i do them any way
