SubscribeBest piece of advice - after you dip the sponge in the paint, splotch it on a piece of cardboard or something before dabbing the stock. It’s easy to get it too saturated and it washes out the sponge pattern.Perfect - thank you for letting me know. I'm psyched to do it Yours is about what I'm aiming for.
This for sure. Dab the sponge on scrap before hitting the gun. Find the right amount of pressure to give you dimensions in the splotches(more color in center that fades as it moves outward toward the edges). I had planned for the only black on the rifle to be the base color that was left after sponging but it got to where there wasn’t much black left. So right at the end I took a thin piece of sponge and outlined all of the colors in black which really brought it to life and made it look “done”. One of the hardest parts is deciding when it’s done!Best piece of advice - after you dip the sponge in the paint, splotch it on a piece of cardboard or something before dabbing the stock.

Less is really more in this case… let some of the base color show through and don’t go overboard with how many spots you do.
What Colors did you use? Im in the Sage Area of Idaho and I like the colors you used.I use the little sample containers of Behr Premium Outdoor paint from Home Depot. I think it’s for fences and decks etc. Apply with ripped off pieces of natural sponge from the craft store.
Super easy application and holds up well to abuse.
Here’s a Ridgeback I did with it a while ago:

Nope.I have a manners stock I'm thinking about adding to is there anything I would need to do different for the carbon fiber?
I would say you'd be able to just wipe it off with acetone, but I haven't actually tried it.I'm really dying to try this on a new chassis but curious of removal. Say, 6 months down the road I want to remove the the paint is it easy or a pain?
