Finally got brave enough to paint my SPS. I'm happy with the results. I don't think it turned out to badly for my first time. Thanks to knockemdown, el gordo2, and LoneWolfUSMC for the inspiration and the great instruction. Still have to paint the bolt and the inside of the flip caps.

Re: New paint on the SPS

Great job!What type of paint did you use on the barrel?
 
Re: New paint on the SPS

I used Krylon camo fusion. I'm pretty happy with the results.
 
Re: New paint on the SPS

Very nice, you did a great job! Some are hesitant to do this but you can probably attest it wasnt hard. Make sure you post it in the Krylon thead in the field photography forum.

If I knew it was going to be this easy, I would have done it long ago. I was a little nervous before I started, but after seeing how well yours turned out I decided to take the plunge. I'll check out the Krylon thread.
 
Re: New paint on the SPS

what colors did you use and what method of applying it
 
Re: New paint on the SPS

I used Olive Drab, Tan, and Black. I used the sponge technique I got from el gordo2 and knockemdown's threads.
