Well it looks good blopez50. I used that Duracoat matte clear coat and I think mine should last awhile.

Dan Brothers,
We used Krylon Ultra-Flat Camouflage paint and Krylon Matte Finish/1311 for the final coat. The Camo paint comes in four colors Light Brown, Dark Brown, Black and Green. Used clean release duck tape for masking areas off. All from Wal-Mart. Got the sponge from Lowe's. It was a round cylinder shaped sponge that came in a red fishnet bag in the paint department next to the brushes.

I followed rockinbbars instuctions on applying the paint.

The base coat was two hits of the light brown. It dries fairly fast.

I definitely recommend practicing with the sponge on something else. The first couple tries didn't look good at all to me. We would get to much paint on the sponge and block out to much of the base paint. I ended up cuting the end of the sponge at a 45 degree angle to have more control.

Order of paint after the base was Black, Green and then Dark Brown. We went light on everything because it adds up fast.

Last we did two coats of Krylon Matte Finish.

Hope this helps.

The white sling is a nice touch. Shoe polish?

To anyone who is going to do this I have to say one thing.
Don't get discouraged when you apply your first color with the sponge. I thought there was no way mine was going to look remotely good when I looked at it at first. The more i did the better it started to look. Just thought I'd say don't be suprised if your first reaction is "I shouldn't of done this it looks horrible." Just keep on going and it will look fine.

Practice on a piece of cardboard or a wood board before you start spraying on the rifle. It will perfect the technique for you.
