Couldnt stand it anymore so I painted it. Duracoat was used. I need one more color that I dont have. More of a Coyote tan.

Re: Painted my LMT MWS

Man that looks sweet! Have you ever done different color and pattern? That will work well in OK, but in the pacific NW i would stand out like a sore thumb
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

Yeah I have added greens and such to it. I actually add a color called "Bengal Orange" to it but I am out of it.

Pine needles or broom bristles work great and take very little time. This from start to end took me 2 hours. BTW Congrats on your win. Id like to get in on one of your matches someday.
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

nice, looks alot like how i've painted guns in the past.
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

After you paint the durcoat to you have to bake it on?

I am going to paint my duck gun like that. Pine needles is a great idea.
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

Nice work.
When you paint, do you break it down in to parts or do you just spray as is? I am really good at taking things apart but not so strong when it comes to getting them back together again.

No I spray as is. Taking it apart is the professional way....

I havnt done one in mostly greens. I need some greens and and a coyote color.
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

With Duracoat, do you need a pneumatic spray bottle or does it come in its own spray cans?
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

Did you add any of the duracoat flattener or did the finish dry matte enough?

They have a "tactical" line of paints now. It dries really flat.

Duracoats can be airbrushed on. They come in bottles, you mix a small amount with hardener and then spray it on. I use a $5 airbrush from Steves Wholesale.
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

That looks really great. Blends fantastically with your terrain.
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

One of the better DIY jobs I have seen. There may be hope for me yet. Thanks.
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

Interesting. Ive been considering painting mine in Coyote or Desert Tan to create a nice contrast with my Magpul FDE furniture. Very cool.
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

Good job! I don't know if I'd have the courage to do such a thing.

What did you use to clean, or prep everything prior to painting?
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

Hot water and soap, then compressed air to dry it. Wipe it down with laquer thinner and then heat it with a heat gun to dry it. I then blow it down again with air hose to get the dust off and maybe hit it with a tack cloth of some sort. Seems like a lot of steps but it goes pretty fast.
 
Re: Painted my LMT MWS

Aww man!!1 I loved the first job! The pine needle was absolutely gorgeous! I had it as a screen saver.

Re: Painted my LMT MWS

I've been kind of interested in doing either a Copperhead pattern or a Multicam on my Saiga 12 guage for the last couple years.
