I did not think it would turn out that nice. I've seen a lot of spray paint jobs that totally ruin a rifle but this one is actually my favorite camo design I've ever seen.
I've never seen a rattle can camo job ruin a gun.. so as long all important parts are masked. It's a tool, paint it, use it hard and keep it clean. I guess if you're going to resell it one day, probably don't touch it.. but to each their own.
That is ridiculous, you are so smart for figuring that out i would of never imagined that it was painted by touching it with a sponge a couple times basically
I like how the sponge produces both the micro and the macro pattern. I think I like this result over some of the other methods I've seen out there... it looks really great!
That looks fantastic! And for people wanting to try it out, do your mags first! Takes less time to do, takes less time to clean off if you hate it, and much cheaper if you can't clean it!
I think your method is the best I've seen. People don't see the fine little snakeskin patterns from netting or whatever from a distance. Neither do animals. At distance they see larger discrete blobs of color or gray. Too. Much of similar color looks solid at distance. And you see the silhouette. You need larger aresas of strong contrast to break up the outline. I've done it and did the clear coat too. However I found that even a Matt finish will be somewhat shiny and reflect light. So I either take a little steel wool and scuff it or I omit the clear coat so the flat paint is flat and reflects the least amount of light. I'm gonna try the sponge method next!
The sponge technique seems much more effective than some pretty stencils. And quick and easy! Don't forget to incorporate a larger pattern in the design because you want to break up that rifle shape at longer distances.
@Trav_Can damn it lol. Ok well I have a model 11 savage 243 I'm wanting to paint but it's 33 degrees right now and I don't have heat in my shop. I need to work on being more patient. Thanks for the info
@@justinhorn4246I realize this is a year later but get a 20lb propane tank with one of those Mickey Mouse ear looking heaters you put on top they’ll heat an area like crazy
Nice results with a simple technique. I sprayed a gun recently the usual rattle can way, at the end I decided to paint the receiver side walls and used the white spongy packing foam you get in many product boxes nowadays. It worked a treat too. So much so after watching your video I think I'll repaint it all over as you did. Nice work, keep them coming.
I'll never forget my gunwriter Uncle Dick who, in the '60s, taped his Model 70 .222 Rem for hunting fox in Michigan snow. He used white first aid tape. He was the coolest guy I knew!
Liked and subscribed. I wish I had watched before painting my AR. I may have to go back over it with the sponge method here. It came out well but I was hoping for more of a patterned look like you have here. Awesome job man!
Thanks buddy! Appreciate you subscribing and following along. Should be pretty easy for you to go over what you already have done. Good luck and take it easy 👍
Dude, you deserve every sub you have, this is one of the most professional, easy to follow and cleanest rifle paint jobs I've seen and it's so simple but ingenious, mad props man! your rifle came out looking beautiful! plus I swear you talk just like Bob Ross conducting his program haha
Absolutely the best video I've seen and the best looking camo job! Simple, no mess, easy! Getting ready to try this out on an H&R 10 gauge that's been cut down.
First video of yours I ever watched. Very well done and I am going to do 3 rifles the same way. Much better than any of the others I've seen on painting guns. Sponge pattern is great.
I like the look and saves me from looking all over the neighborhood for all thise woodsy components! I got a black mostly Gamo air rifle, think I will use this on it....its got a cheap scope on it and will do the scope and barrel also! Thanks, enjoyed it when you finally started painting! Yep, using that matte clear coat will save that paint and keep it looking good! My base coat will be matte black over any shiny bits. Will ask my wife about that sponge, she's the artist in the family!
I bought a Remmy 700 ADL. That old plastic stock had to go, so I bought the Magpul to go on it. The Magpul really doesn't fit the 700 in a decent manner at all. You just gave me the answer to a problem. I'll be putting the Magpul stock up for sale and painting the original stock using your method. THX!!!!!
I have watched many, MANY videos showing spray paint techniques & effects. And then I see this. Looks awesome & very DIY doable. I can relate to your sense of humor too. I will probably try this on my Mossberg Patriot stock.
@@HoosierHunter Great job. Just as an aside, the saying about skinning a cat is an old Royal Navy term used to describe how the cat of 9 tails (whip) was drawn from its hide pouch before it was used to whip some poor sailor. "not enough room to swing a cat" and "the cat's out of the bag" refer to the same thing. Nothing to do with cats of the feline variety, unfortunately!
Looks great. Very simple method that looks better than most others. One thing I would recommend is to let the paint cure for a week before applying clear coat. If you apply it too soon, it can cause problems with the way it dries and end up looking messed up.
Thanks! Yeah, I had wondered about that, but I have painted a lot of them like this and for others and never had that problem yet! Thanks for watching.
Thought the intro was a bit long...but I couldn't stop laughing. Thinking of purchasing a new rifle and it comes in an all black synthetic stock. I was thinking of doing a camo job on it, but thought it would be way too much work to spray paint it (using the can on the rifle directly) since I'd need to remove the buttpad and I'd have to watch out for gripping area (synth checkering). Your method simplifies all of this! I love it.
everyone knows when you paint your weapon you get better groups. Finally someone else said it. This is the same concept I use in my vehicles. I add a ton of NOS and SUMMIT stickers to my vehicle, and it preforms better right away. Great paint job. I am about to do this to one of my own.
I WILL NOT BUG SIR WITH A BUNCH OF TEXT BUT REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHERE YOU BOUGHT THAT SPONGE. I BOUGHT A SMALL ONE SIMILAR TO THE ONE YOU USED BUT THE ONE YOU USED IS SUPERIOR TO MINE. THE CRATERS IN THE SPONGE YOU HAVE ARE DEEPER. I WANT THE CAMO JOB YOU PRODUCED. LOL THANKS FOR THE INFO BACK TO ME.
Looks GOOD. I did the stock and metal on my bolt action, it was worth it 👍. I may do your idea of the sponge on my SCAR, make it blend into my surroundings on my ranch. Your friend in OREGON 🤠
I have done the entire rifle on some others and will probably eventually do the same with this one. It would look pretty sweet on a SCAR. I appreciate you watching! Have a good one 👍
Thanks, man! Appreciate that! Be sure to subscribe to see future videos. Most recent video is using that rifle to kill a coyote. From one vet to another, thanks for your service brother.
Man that’s a sweet. I’m going to do this with my Ruger American hunting rifle as well, it’s fun to look at pictures from my last mule deer hunt and try and come up with a color scheme and pattern. Cheers

When you first started out I thought...Ughhhh he’s ruining it.But DAMN,The finished product looks KILLER!!!!!Really Awesome Job!!!!
Thanks, man! Really appreciate that and thanks for watching!
Have you check the prices of spray paint lately. That paint you have their has really gone up. It's 5.95 a can now .
Yep. Around $6.25 here now 🥵
@@HoosierHunter theirs no way they can justify it.
By far the easiest,best method and best looking camo stock painting vid I’ve seen. Thank you !

Using a sea sponge is great, man. Makes everything look cooler, shoot better, and more tactical. The most important part being “cooler” LoL have fun!

When I was a teen I camo'ed my stepfather's airboat using that sponge method. Got lots of compliments about it.
Thanks for your willingness to share this technique; it worked great on my rifle. You did a great job.
Thank you! Happy to hear it helped you with some ideas!

What was the temperature when you painted it? Roughly
