painting a gun

smitty · Jan 25, 2015

I'm thinking of painting some kind of camo design on my coyote gun. It's a black synthetic, blued barrel savage 22-250. Mostly want to paint it to eliminate any shine.

I know guys have done it before, just interested to see any cool designs, or tricks to do. What kinds of paint work best etc......

My "turtle" rifle. I bought some "flat" paint in spray cans at the local hardware store. Have fun with it, you can always cover it up. One lady at the gun range told me it was the cutest rifle she had ever seen.

It's written in the good Book that we'll never be asked to take more than we can. Sounds like a good plan, so bring it on!

My son and I both painted our Coyote Guns this last summer. Mask off everything we didnt want painted. Then painted the whole guns in textued sandstone . Then Camo rustoleum. So far they have held up fine, and the flat camo really hides the guns. I also read about painting the sling and our shooting sticks and tried it. used tub and tile chalking on both and then the camo paint, worked great so far.
