Re: My new paint job
Simple old net laundry bag. Base coat of forest green. Lay the bag out over an area, make a couple crossing sweeps with a different color, move the bag, repeat. Get a bright spot and 'dust' it with the forest green to 'dim' it. Very easy to do really and I was surprised at how well it worked.

And those are sweet....btw

Rustoleum, but I suspect the paint is manufactured by the same folks in reality because the cans are identical except for the Krylon logo and Rustoleum logo. I got all the colors at Lowes. They were their 'camouflage' line of paint, ultra flat, khaki, deep forest green, black and desert brown.

I have a wife that is tenacious on eBay... I put her on task, she gets the job done. They're hard to find, that's for sure. Knights Armament's mount was ridiculously priced and unavailable as well... so we made our own. Came out really nice.

Re: My new paint job
I added a pic with the Otterbox and mount. Bad photo, I'll try to get an updated high res shot this week. We used part of a picitinny rail mount off of a broken scope and tig welded it to a shaft with a mount that slides into the clip holder on the back of the otterbox. The mount component is sheetmetal bent into the appropriate shape, then welded bolted to the shaft to allow for rotation and variable tightening. I've fire the 300 all weekend with the iPod inside and never had a failure....
