I painted another gun I recently bought, I wanted another gun for duck hunting and as a back up turkey gun. I bought a H&R pump and had my friend Gun Docc trim the bbl. a bit and touch it up. I painted my sons 20 ga. back before turkey season and was going for the MO bottomland, but a step went wrong with the stenciling but it wound up being great for concealment.
Heres a pic of it next to my 870 sm in bottomland.

Heres the one I just finished up my version of the original bottomland. What do you think?

That looks good to me. Nice job
They both really look good. They really would appear to conceal well.
those look awesome!!!
I've been thinking about trying that myself. . .did you use Krylon spray paint, or something else? Any details would be great!
That's awesome. :z-winnersmiley:
They tough to see in the pic's. Should be near invisable in the woods. :z-winnersmiley:
Good Job ! :icon_thumright:

The paint job on my sons gun is the 2nd job I put on it; Its held up just as good as a dipped one if not better. I think the most important part is in the prep and to take your time.
I stripped the gun down to and cleaned it with non chlorinated brake cleaner. Then used an auto grade primer, Then applied the base coat then did the stencils, Then for the bark looking portion I hand painted with a brush. I waited at least a day between each time I painted it. Then I covered it with several coats of acrylic matte clear coat. Then I let it sit for 2 days. I bought all of the supplies from walmart paint section, the stencils and brushes were in the craft area. I was tempted to add a few blades of grass to get the MO shadow grass pattern but didnt want to push my luck.
It really isnt that hard and from what Ive seen on my sons gun its pretty darn durable.
I think it looks pretty good. It seems to blend in well against the tree.
:z-winnersmiley: Looks good to me.
If you decide to try a diff clear coat, the epoxy based brownells alumahyde II is a good one.

Hey Ronnie, Ive heard good things about the alumahyde I may try it next time. :icon_thumright:
That is a great paint job...you should be proud of that! Reminds me of the camo Remington used to put on the 870 turkey guns a few years back.
great looking paint job
very nice
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
