Testing Camo

Mckr327 · 01-12-2013, 05:56 PM

Just testing this Camo on an old shotgun before I go all out on my AR. What do you think? Good? Bad? or Keep my day job...lol

Are you trying to replicate a checkered pattern you saw on some military photo or movie? If so, your checkers are too close together. Why paint a perfectly nice shotgun or AR unless you hunt or going to war?

That's... Pretty cool, actually. If I don't think it'd be very good as a camouflage, but it sure looks cool! Also, personally, I'd use a slightly darker green for the lightest green.
...If that made sense...
Anyway, cool!

slick but keep your day job too.

That is what looks like to me is a very, very cool reptile pattern. It emulates the reptile more than camo unless you are going to hide your gun in a snake pit.

Very cool looking snake skin pattern.how did u do it? but on another note don't think it will be good for camouflaging into really anything. Don't think the pictures do it justice but at a glance it still looks like a black shotgun. maybe like previously mentioned lighter contrasting colors will enhance the effect and make it "pop"

Don't do it. Looks more like snakeskin.

I have to say that it looks more like snake skin then camo. You can also use a piece of PVC to work out the pattern so you don't paint up all your guns, it gives you an idea of how it will work going around the barrel and stock.

This is what I like to do. This is actually an older pic, the weapon is now camo top to bottom, scope, bipod, barrel, and all. I just covered up the markings and moving parts so not to get them fouled up.

This is my coyote rifle, a ballistic chart out to 500yds and I'm ready to go.

Here is my first attempt at Multicam using rattle cans. Both pictures are the same holster in different lighting, not really happy with either picture, neither really shows the color/pattern well. Overall, I'm very satisfied and am working on the sheath for my Ontario Rat 3. (third picture shows the base layer)

I happen to be a self proclaimed expert on Camoflage of all types. Below is a picture of my latest gun that I did myself.

Nice huh?

Trade secret and I'm trying to get a Patent on it but the Patent office is being difficult. Seems they want drawings.

Rather professional looking, nice job.

I came here looking for a camo pattern but I saw something better, a snakeskin pattern! Super cool, I love it! I need a snake pattern AR!
