If you guys want some airbrush work, snake skin or ect give me a shout.
Ok I finally got an idea in my head and while it didn't turn out JUST like I was thinking I like it, I need to take some pictures outside but everyone knows how the weather has been and I still need to put a coat of clear on it. Let me know what ya think, good or bad! Later,

Looks good! Be sure to put a satin clear on it....
Yes sir it's headed back to the shop for a coat or two while your reading this probably. Thanks. Later,

Very nice rifle!
Looks good! I may have went with a darker base color but I still like it. What did you use on the metal?
buster11 can't get much darker than black dude 
the base coat was done the same time as the barrel/action.
I used the Krylon camo paints, I've had good luck with them in the past just be sure and put a coat or two of clear matte on after the paint sits a day or so and don't get in a hurry. I painted the base coat on Monday, the second coat on Tue, the top coat on Wed, the clear on Wed night but I let in sit in front of the heater anf warm up real good first.
I think I'm going to go ahead and paint the barrrel/action the same way, I took some pictures yeasterday while the sun was out and that black barrel sticks out like you wouldn't believe! I'll put a couple pics up later when I download them. Later,

oops, I was reffering to the top coat, or which ever coat looks like off white? Just seems like too much contrast, very light colored stock with very dark metal. But i'm absolutly no camo expert. I like the pattern alot, thinking about doing something similar with my 700p but with varrying shades of greens and browns. All in all I like it!
I finally got out when there was some sunlight and snapped a couple of pictures and yep the barrel is going to have to be painted to match the rest of the rifle! might add some dark earth color paint in the mix while I'm at it. See what you think. Later,
