Re: Ant Vomit ® Cammo
GZ, I used a Faux Natural Sponge, you can get them at Wal-Mart in the paint section.
LOL I'll paint your gun if you make me a Ghillie

Re: Ant Vomit ® Cammo
what color did you use as the base coat? i take it you put the paint on the sponge and then put it on the gun?

Re: Ant Vomit ® Cammo
Looks great. Nice work man. I really need to take the plunge and put some color on my plain black rifle... To verify that I understand the process correctly, is that two or three cans of beer for each can of paint?

Re: Ant Vomit ® Cammo
What colors did you use? Duracoat or Krylon, etc?
It's a good pattern. Looks like digital from a distance
without the hassle. Think I like it better than digital.

For the base coat, I just painted wide bands/stripes using Khaki and olive. Then I sponged khaki on the olive and olive on the khaki, and then sponged everything with brown.
The funny part is, I planned on using black (Krylon offers the Ultra Flat in 4 colors total) but I accidentally grabbed 2 cans of brown by mistake and wasn’t going to drive all the way back to town to get it. I guess I just got lucky because I like the way it turned out.

LOL, Yes you are right on the money. It took about 3.7 beers per can of paint to accomplish this task.

QAMR it's a 50 or a 56mm, I just can't remember???
Had to edit cause I'm a crack-head. I was thinking of a different scope.

ffl and scimitar,
It's Krylon Ultra Flat. Make sure you use the "ultra-flat" The other flat paints out there still have a little shine to them. The paint comes in little cammo cans, can't miss it.

That looks trick, I bet it would blend in really well with the rocks and trees in my area.

The funny part about that pic is I had to take a second pic (The one you see) with the flash turned on, just so you could see the rifle a little better. Still can't believe how good it blends in with everything.

Re: Ant Vomit ® Cammo
Been lurking for a long while and decided to join. Little job I did on my work rifle awhile back. Since taking the pics I went back and q-tipped the areas that the sponge couldn't reach (under objective lens, stock/barrel junction, etc.) Rem 700P TWS

I don't get it, why'd you post pics of a bunch of dead looking trees and leaves?

Re: Ant Vomit ® Cammo
I've always liked the sponged patterns best. Great job. He_Shoot_Me, I've been thinking about getting the B&C A-5 like that, what's your rifle weigh as pictured? How's the stock working out for you? I'm looking to use one on an SPS varmint for mostly prone varmint hunting.

ARC,
I really like the B&C A-5, but it is HEAVY! I'm not sure what it weighs, but if you don't have to carry it too far to where you're shooting you will be fine. If there's a bit of a hike involved I would strongly recommend a backpack like one of the Eberlestock models (Gunslinger, Phantom, or Operator) to carry it in. SPS Varmint+B&C A-5= One heavy-assed gun
The gun in that pic is an SPS Varmint and it just dropped right in. I did get loose with the dremel a little bit to give the bolt handle a little more clearance, but it was minor work.

Re: Ant Vomit ® Cammo
After all the comments about the stock being heavy, I may have to go with the A2 and put a Karsten on it if I need more cheek weld. I usually walk mine a few miles when I'm out varminting. It looks like the A5 is about 2 pounds more. Mine is already a pig, and I haven't even gotten my NF scope or rings for it yet which will add more weight too. Thanks for the info and again nice paint job.

That's a very impressive paint job. Beer can be a great creative influence.
