i have posted pics before of these two but they are finally finished.

BOTH guns were painted by our very own Shortbus

props to be given to Smokin99 (chris) who built the 300wm r700 and paul (boltfluter) for the work on the bolt, and to randy at mile high for the AW, sphur mount and 3-20 S&B, and AICS that the 300 sits in

the 300wm wears a 5-20 razor ebr2b

another big thanx to badger for the IMUNS, great pieces of kit.

Re: the desert multi-cam twins

WOW... they look awesome. One of the best camo jobs I've seen
 
Re: the desert multi-cam twins

Vice nice! Shortbus does some beautiful work!
 
Re: the desert multi-cam twins

Sweet baby Jesus! Seriously sweet set of rifles. Best paint job I've seen.
 
Re: the desert multi-cam twins

You have a great collection of rifles Big Joe. I am never disappointed when I click on one of your threads.
 
Re: the desert multi-cam twins

BigJoe,

You own some seriously nice firearms man! I wish I had half your inventory.

Those are great looking rifles and I'm sure they shoot just as well if not better than they look
 
Re: the desert multi-cam twins

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said, but nice rifles!

Re: the desert multi-cam twins

You and I have the same taste, AICS and the same tool box! Nice rigs BigJoe, think I'll have to pm shortbus on getting my skins painted as well. Yours look better than mine and that just won't do ;-)
 
Re: the desert multi-cam twins

Those look flipping awesome!

Just because I'm ignorant: How well does the paint on these stock hold up? I'm by no means hard on a rifle, but just wondered how easy it is to scrape/rub it off by accident or normal use.
 
Re: the desert multi-cam twins

these are duracoat and hold up really well. unless you are dragging it behind your truck i think it would last you quite a while
 
Re: the desert multi-cam twins

(jaw drops)...well done sir

Holds up really, really well. Chemical resistance, flexible, and doesn't chip. Of course it can be scratched with severe abuse, but some other coatings will chip as well when they are scratched, and then the paint will start to continue to chip off after that. This paint doesn't do that.

Re: the desert multi-cam twins

Love that desert multicam. May have to send my AX skins out...
 
Re: the desert multi-cam twins

Joe, i'm liking the greater contrast of the one on the right more and more. Not sure why. At first I thought that I did way to much of the desert brown, but now i'm diggin' it more and more.

If anything, it gives anybody that wants this camo in the future and option, more, or less desert brown, lol.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I must say your guns are gorgeous. I am going to have mine done in desert multicam as well, I was wondering if you could tell me what color the cerakote is on the 300wm barrel? I'd appreciate it, thanks.
 
Is it possible to get this look with krylon or rust oleum ? Can someone tell me the order to paint this? From base coat to last coat
