Painted my 870 youth

[petemoss83]

Decided to give it a try... $20 for a plastic tote and 15 for spray paint.  I saw some videos on how to hydro dip and decided why not. Should blend in a little better this year!

It don't look bad. I would like to camo my 20 maybe on day.

Looks good!  That's the exact same process I'm going to use this spring.   .I'm going to go for about the same pattern type but juuuust a tad darker with more green. Good job!

I like it.

My base color was a desert tan color and i used five colors for dipping.  Black,  Brown, the desert tan, OD green,  and a lighter green. I wished more black showed up but im satisfied! I did go back over it with a matte clear coat. Its actually more durable than i thought it would be. Thanks for the compliments and replies!

Let it sit and cure without really handling it hard for a few weeks and you'll see a big increase in durability.   I didn't do that with my last paint job (why I'm repainting it this year already) and the paint would scratch off with a thumbnail.   It's hard a rock now, just has 3 big gouges in the paint.

That looks really good.

Look awesome!
Would you mind posting a link to the hydro dip videos you watched?  I have watched some but only swirl type patterns.

I watched this video even though the guy messes up! It's were i got my pattern.  A lot if the videos i watched were actually deer skulls.  Once i learned how to swirl the paint i gave it a try.  This was the first time i tried this but not the first time I've painted a gun. I was surprised that it turned out. I did disassemble the gun and dipped the pump,  barrel,  and action/stock separate. Not sure if that link will post correctly or not. If not just search hydro dipping gun on the you tube app.
