Camo paint job

Mon Nov 09, 2015 9:29 pm

Hi Guys,
Been of the scene for a couple of years but dusted off my rifles and joined up at my local club.

Managed to pick up a hw77 .22 pretty cheap to add to my collection but the stocks pretty scabby .
i've stripped the stock and have been thinking of giving it a matt camo paint job .
Have any of you tried this ? Any tips would be appreciated .

Thanks Girdy

Buy some spray primer and then use Krylon, you can find it on eBay. Then get some of that silicone net from Maplin, the grip mat stuff and use it to get a flecked finish with black stripes over green.

As above and instead of the netting you can use fern leaves.

Don't forget which bit is which and try to screw your gun to the scrap!
