Cheers! A couple hours to cut the tape. Actual spray time, not that long...it's the hanging around for 15-20 minutes before re-coating that adds to the overall time factor. I think there is 4 coats of primer, 3 coats of brown, 3 coats of tan, 3 coats of matte clear.

Rem 597, going to call it done. There was a learning curve to painting this, but not enough to stop me from trying it again on another project. I think next time I will freehand airbrush instead of taping & rattle canning it.
You know, im not a fan of camo painted rifles, but, you really outdid yourself! That really looks good!

Hey Lead Monkey; You are welcome to shoot it next time you are in the neighbourhood. It is a fun little high speed plinker.

Here's my newest. 1992 production Browning A Bolt. Bought it from an elderly man through a friend...man is getting out of hunting. And deal was so good I couldn't refuse. Came with see through rings and bell scope. So I installed original browning solid rings and a bit better 3-9x40 tasco. It's accurate gun even with bulk federals. Beautiful wood although has couple scratches. Enjoy.
