Painting a hunting rifle

[AtlMedic]

Sooooooooo, this is going to piss off some. I am thinking of spray painting my deer rifle. Now before anyone freaks out, its a $200 Savage Axis with a black synthetic stock.

Have any of yall done this before? any tips? Pictures maybe?

I paint mine. I throw a bunch of pine straw on it and hit it with one color, kick the straw and hit it with another etc etc etc. ,

I don't anymore. I need to paint my 3030 in the next week or so, I'll snap some pics then. I use flat colors, usually from the kylon camo line.

I have done several, I painted two with a FDE solid and then put oak leafs on and painted light green..Turned out pretty good, son has them now.

If you're worried about painting it for effectiveness, don't worry about detail. Just paint it a color that isn't too dark, and break it up a bit with some slightly darker colors. Light grays, light to medium browns. Just spray that shit on.

Ill probably ive it a shot in a week or two, Ill post some pictures when Im done. Ill probaby paint it a flat FDE type color and then some green and brown over some pine straw

You gots the little buddy, and I have the Big buddy! Great minds think alike!

I say go for it. Thinking about doing mine

Stipple it if you want, it's cheap and yours. Is is not like you are hacking up a $1200 Colt. If the barrel falls out afterwards you are only out $200, and if it is ugly, you can still get $150 out of it.

Pick some colors based on your surroundings! Rock it, if you sell it, someone will just have to strip it!

I think it will look fine however you wish to paint it. You are the only one that has to be satisfied with the results. If you don't use paint made for plastics then check the internet for tips on painting nylon.

honestly, paint a $1,000,000 gun, if it makes it more useful, then do it. I hate this whole ideology that guns are just to be kept and sold like trading cards.

It's a savage axis, it's not like you can make it any worse or less valuable. Go for it.
