I'm not a huge fan of camo guns...but I will say that you did a great job! Can you describe the materials and technique used for us?

[normanvin]

pretty cool. howd you do it.

[Hugo16]

Thanks guys. I'm really not a big fan of traditional camo on handguns either , I think they're to small but I figured this would be good practice for me.

I used a olive base then made my own stencils and faded in some tan, brown, a green that I mixed and some white. and came up wih this.


I wasn't happy with the sharp contrast of the lines so I faded the edges with a matte black and a tan. It gave it a weathered look as you see here in the final outcome.


I then finished the whole thing with a ultra flat clear with a bit of white in it.

It really looks good.

How durable is the paint?

I used duracoat. Its suppose to be very durable. It feels like its going to be on there for a long long time . I'm new to the whole refinishing hobbie and from what I read its one of the best coatings to use.
