WOW! Looks like some very nice work out there from a lot of very talented and dedicated guys. I'm highly impressed.

You guys inspired me to show a weapon of mine. Thought I would add a little different one in winter camo. I'll show the first one with just the factory buttstock and caa pistolgrip painted flat white. Then two others to show the difference after sponge camo.

Now this one is after I got the guts to sponge camo the whole gun.

That broke it up quite a bit better and allowed the gun to blend in with my camo and the terrain I hunt in the winter a lot better. Here's two more.

Anyway, just something a little different...please let me know what you guys think. I am open to new methods and ideas for the future.

Someone please tell me what an artists sponge is and where to get them? Thanks

You can get them at Home Depot, or Lowes as well, in the paint dept.

Thanks for the info. FRJ

Carnimore T3RG .223

Main thing is to make sure you get one with the large "bubbles" or holes in it.

Can someone help?
I had an old 870 wingmaster I am in the process of painting it 9-2009. It had rust and some pitting. I sanded most of the gun. In order for me to get the worst of it I had to hit it with some 220. I then did the process of sanding it as smooth as possible with lighter grit paper down to very fine scuff pad.
I put a coat of gray primer on, let that dry then finished the primer with its 2nd coat. Heres my question..

When the second coat dried it has somewhat of a rough texture in some spots, almost like I added grits of sand. So I then very very lightly hit the primer with a very fine scuff pad , they came out.
At 530 "today" I put my first coat of khaki tan on. Should if when dry it has small bumps should I scuff lightly again? Is this part of the job? Also after I have all my colors on and if again it is a little bumpy looking do I scuff lightly and then clear?
I "think" I am holding it far enough away and I dont think I am putting to much on ?
Help guys?

Thwe sandy grain will stay somewhat, but after you put a clearcoat on, it won't feel gritty.


Don't scuff it before the clearcoat. It'll stick just fine.
It may smell like "paint" for a couple of days, but it goes away.

Sounds like you are doing it right.

Post pics when you are done.

Barry,
Ill start taking pics now. The one thing with this gun is it has a camo remington stock and forearm that are like brand new. The stock has some weird shapes and colors. its kinda like all ran together. I decided not to paint it this time anyway. I am just painting the reciver, barrel and the pump peice.
I have painted things before just not a gun. Barry I am also using the H.S. Camo paint. I got a can of minwax clear polyurethane will that be fine?
