Rhodie brushstroke M4

[ianfroese]

A few years back I bought a stencil set from Freedom Stencils. Finally I figured it was about time to use them, as my M4 has been getting pretty beat and banged up at 3 gun. It was my first attempt at spray painting and stenciling, but overall I'd say it turned out better than I expected, but maybe not quite how I had hoped.

Krylon camo colours weren't available locally, but Rustoleum was. I would say the green is a bit paler than I'd have liked, otherwise the colours were about what I wanted.

Either way, I'm happy. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but here's the Rhodie Benelli:

Patience. I was way too excited to start adding the next layer of decals, and at the end pulled them off a bit early, so some of the paint smudged. But it was late, I was fired up, and in the end I'm happy with it. But next time I will do it over the course of a day, not two hours late on a work night.

Fantastic!

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't even know these stencils existed. I'm gonna give these a go and see how they turn out.

Beauty work. I went the same route with freedom stencils on my 1301

Went a bit brighter with colors

[Goose762]

looks great, what magazine tube is that?

RBS is the GOAT but the hue of each colour needs to be correct or the whole thing is ruined.

 

[Lt.]

That is shockingly clean. I am a fan.

agreed, I tried out some amazon stencils and the paint made them curl right off the stock almost immediately, total crap and ruined the paint job. painter's tape ended up being the better option, but if these freedom stencils stick I might have to take a third crack at it
