[QUOTE="yote bomber, post: 217912, member: 10848"] Here you go Ol'Mike... Started by painting the entire stock with a base color (in this case it's sage green... for experimental purposes only) [IMG]http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r325/dogdownproductions/DSC01146.jpg[/IMG] Then I use some plastic grass as a stencil (stolen from one of the wife's flower arangements)... [IMG]http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r325/dogdownproductions/DSC01147.jpg[/IMG] Here's the stock after the 1st layer of Olive Green. You can see that I changed the angle/direction of the grass while I painted. I don't create an entire coat... just paint particular areas. [IMG]http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r325/dogdownproductions/DSC01148.jpg[/IMG] Then, a layer of Tan (still using the grass stencil) over the other two layers of paint... On the Sendero stock I used only two colors: Olive Green, and Khaqui (both Krylon Fusion Camo). [IMG]http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r325/dogdownproductions/DSC01149.jpg[/IMG] Last step... because the tan is such high contrast I like to mute it a little with a light over coat of the Olive using the grass as a stencil again. You can do as many layers as you like... I feel a couple of layers gives good depth to the camo... only you can decide when it's right. [IMG]http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r325/dogdownproductions/DSC01150.jpg[/IMG] I'm no expert at painting... and I don't really like the way this one turned out... mostly because of the Sage base color.
