Hey, Thanks.

So first things first and I believe the most important step. Prep work.  I took some brakleen (Green can) and sprayed all the parts down.  The gun was disassembled for the entire process by the way. I then went over it with some brushes and lint free cloth to continue cleaning off any residue. After that step I rinsed everything down with Isopropyl and let it air dry.

Then I used a base layer or primer from rustoleum.

Then a layer of khaki or sand... Whatever color it was. (also rustoleum as was all other paints)

Then I used sea sponges cut into little rectangles to sponge on my paint.  I used the brown camo, forrest green, and black. 

If you look a few pages back there is a video linked to how someone did theirs, someone off this forum. I used his method but went heavier with the green and black.

After that was done and I got the desired look I hit it with a few coats of flat clear coat.  Finished off with a little 0000 steel wool rub down to get rid of some shine.

If you need any more info feel free to PM me.
