If you look at the picture of the AR, you can see the heavy black lines which add depth to the pattern.  Black is one of the most important shades to add to any camo pattern to create depth and break-up.  Birchwood makes a flat black touch-up pen which is designed to cover scratches/blemishes on matte firearms, scopes, etc. and works great as a flat permanent black addition on camo patterns.

I decided to go ahead and sponge paint my 870 without first spraying a base coat first. I used Krylon camo brown, camo tan and camo light green.  I added a little more green since it will be used in the spring. I'll paint my barrel to match in a few days when the weather warms a little.

Thanks guys. I just hope the barrels turns out good.

You did a great job. Did you spray  the tan on as a base color?
You might do a step by step (with pictures) when you do your barrel.

Yea, I'll try to take some pics whenever I paint the barrel. :)

Finished painting the barrel this evening and wanted to show the end result.

That 870 looks really nice.  I'd like to see a how to post about it.
