Please note: This is just my base coat, I still have a few other colors and some stuff to add to it, but it does look pretty cool the way it is now too..

Anyway thank you for your time team, I’ll post up pics of the complete rifle in a week or so..

Its a slow process but I have seen some of them done that turned out awesome, almost 3-D looking camo. Good luck. Looks good so far. Nice rifle also by the way.

Re: Painting my DTA SRS

Hey team,
Here’s a quick update on the project.. I’ve failed twice.. but I’m IMO nailing the third one.. All three attempts have been something different ie not your tyipical camo.. I’ll post up the completed rifle pic in a week or soo..

Just for reference..
Before / New:

IMG_6897.jpg



First try.. (Failed!)…..Hahahahaaa

First let me say, I’m not doing a traditional camo pattern, everyone has one, I’m going to be doing something a little different. With said different comes with many failures before true success is achieved.. Here is one / a few of my many failures.. Hhahahahahaaa.. I’m combing a GAP with a snakeskin in a dessert colors:

Changed it from green to black

OOooooooo.. Did I mention that a GREAT thing about Duracoat is it all washes off…

That’s right!.. just incase you didn’t know that little fact, you actually have 45 minutes after its painted to decide if your going to keep it.. If you decide you don't like it then you simply soak a rag in the reducer and wipe it off the gun.. But if you wait longer than 45 minuets your SOL.. Hence the scope.. Hahahahahaa… I’ll need prep it unlike the rifle for round II..

Second attempt (Fail) I love trying new things.. Hahahaa.. I don't even know what you would call this, but hey it’s different and looked good on the story board.. Haha…

IMG_7103.jpg



IMG_7105.jpg





Third time is a charm!... I feel good about this one..


IMG_7122.jpg



IMG_7123.jpg




IMG_7146.jpg



Only three more colors and a few patterns left.. If I don't screw this one up it should look IMO bitchen.. I’ll post up pics of the completed rifle in a few..

Thanks for your time team and have a great one

Hey Bench.. You know what they say!... You cant make a omelet without breaking some eggs.. Hahahahaa…

I’ve done so much painting lately it’s just another thing to have fun with and I don't ever think about the price.. I would just shit myself at that point.. OMG WTF am I doing.. hahahaaa.. No we just don't go there..

Have a great one Sir.. and please check back in a week or so for the completed rifle.. All of the painful pics are complete at this point.. lets hope at least..

Re: Painting my DTA SRS

I understand the "painful to watch" comment above.......but admire your balls for getting started without seeming to know what the end result is intended to be.

Hope it works out!

Nice rifle anyway!

Re: Painting my DTA SRS

Nice paint job definatly one of a kind. Also, I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of bipod that is and does it swivel?

Thanks
