My shotgun is reborn

[AirborneMosinFan]

I just started duck hunting and was envious of my camo packing counter parts so I set off on a journey to create my personalized bird gun. Starting my taking apart my pump 12 gauge maverick 88.

Second step auto primer

Third step tan undercoat

Fourth step take some vegetation as a negative then I used camo green

 

[AirborneMosinFan]

After that I sprayed matte black

Lastly I used a clear coat to seal the deal

Put it back together ready to go

Nice work. I did my Beretta exactly the same way 3 years ago, and I can tell you the paint has been extremely durable and maintenance free.

I wanted to lighten it a bit to better suit the colors in our local marshes, so I used the lighter color last.

Lighter

When the first pics loaded of a Blue Man Group shotgun, I was like ***

When I saw the finished result:

Nice job!!!

 

[AirborneMosinFan]

That looks too cool

I see ferns on the dark, did you hand paint on the light?

 

[krimmie]

I did hand paint some green. I wrapped different diameters of rope around the parts, then sprayed the light over the ropes.

I'm going to try that

This time I'm going to do it on my bb gun to see which I'll like best for my hunting rifle. A few of the guys at work already want me to hook up theirs.

There was someone on either here or the "other" forum that used maple leaves and similar from his yard as his stencils - they came out awesome looking - a lot like, if not better than, a B&C stock I have on a rifle with a similar pattern

Good jobs to both - nice looking work!

Nice - a buddy of mine did much the same thing, his came out well, but not like yours.

 

[Slugo]

nice work on both guns!! Thanks for posting something really interesting...

 

[AirborneMosinFan]

Thanks for the positive feed back

The examples were a great touch as well, I plan on selling paint jobs at the blue berry festival in burgaw nc next year along with my paracord assesories and slings.
