I want to see some home made camo jobs

[Jay2125]

Like the title says I want to see some home made camo paint jobs. I am thinking of making my mosin into a long range shooter and cant decide if i want to make it camo or all black. Any info on how you painted it would be helpful. I have never painted a gun before. Thanks in advance

My first try at camo.

My arctic stalker camo job on my Norinco 98.
And my woodland camo on my Calico M100 9mm.

Thanks for the photos Keep them coming. i assume you have to make sure all the oil is off the gun before paint right. How did you get all the old oil off and did you need to scuff up the finish to get primer to stick or did you use a self etching primer? thanks

On my AR I just used regular gun cleaner to get the oils off prior to painting. I didn't do any sanding nor used primer. So far I have little to no wear issues.

My next paint job will be a bake-on duracoat (durabake) that i'm planning on doing to my glock 26. Those instructions call for a light sanding with 600 grit sandpaper.

This was my first attempt. I wasn't too happy with it after a while I took it to get duracoated GAP cammo.
First cut out your cammo pattern. I found masking tape on wax paper to work. Then peel the patterns off wax paper.


Then paint the whole gun one color, add more patterns, paint it another color, add the last patterns, and finish with the last color.


This was my ATTEMPT at woodland camo...

Not too bad. A technique that I had read about is if you take black spray paint and stand back with it about a foot and a half or so and just mist your gun with it, it'll help the colors blend together more.

older pic. ignore the scope and the suppressor, they were just added and not given the appropriate treatment yet. Somewhere I have a picture of it in the grass but can't locate it.






here it is...behind the 22....

This isn't exactly "camo" unless you want to blend in with a rock, but I thought I'd post it up anyway since I was happy to find any info I could on paint before I did mine.

Here's the whole thread too:
