I had several inquires about how I go about my "kiss" method of camoing my guns. Here is a break down with lots of pics.
1) I use cheap Flat spray paint. Normaly black,grey,primer red. but last year wally world had the real Krylon camo on clearance so I picked some of that up.
2)Hit wood surfaces with a light sanding just to knock down the shine and give texture. Scotch Brite pads work on both the wood and metal. I wear rubber gloves to keep oils off after cleaning surfaces.
3)Find a suitable branch,twig,leaf or what ever for a pattern. I use cedar, not because of where I hunt but because I have one in my fround yard and its handy. Use what ever works for you. I pull most of the material from it,opening it up so the paint gets through.

4)Tape off anything you don't want painted. Power settings,lenses,and so on.
5)Dust the entire gun with the base color. Cover the hard to get spots then the whole thing. Do not rush, let the paint dry between coats. I lay down several with coats.
