Here's my first try at painting my gun. I think it turned out pretty good, and I plan on doing the scope also. What do you think?

Stock looks good man.

Gonna do the barrel and action too?

If not, doing the scope to match the rest of the metal would look pretty good.
 
Re: First try at painting

I thought about doing the metal, but I'm not sure how well the krylon will stick to the cerakote. Anyone know?
 
Re: First try at painting

i kinda like the scope as is with the rest of the gun. good job
 
Re: First try at painting

Krylon sticking should not be a problem. I always wipe it down with acetone first to clear off any oil, etc., tape everything off and then give it a nice base coat, and go from there. If it does not work out, just take acetone and wipe off. \
Look forward to seeing finished pics!
