Layered some black back in...

Going back through this thread I'm thinking this is a practice piece?
If so....
Try a smaller chunk of sponge and a lil orange on edges of black.
Go easy, this is a case of less is more.
It's looking great!

@Bc'z ... yes. Dry run, so to speak. Stopped at my LGS with whom I do a lot of business and asked him if he had an old bone throw away stock I could practice on.

We agreed I would give him back the stock when I was done and he might try to sell it with the camo job… lol

The orange scares me...

 

[Bc'z]

It's a practice stock!
Go easy, we might be surprised.
If I had my photos I could show you a stock I did for my brother.
Black base then a medium dark grey marble, next to the orange masking tape I thought wow that's cool.
I was ready to go that direction and mama squashed my plan.
Freaking upper management! Lol

I think it looks great. Here is a DYI Duracoat job I did on my SBR. I always finish with a good coat of matte clear just for a bit more scratch resistance.

The barreled action was done by the smith, but I did the stock, rings, and base. I used Brownells Aluma-Hyde. I found the stencils on the web.

I’ve done quite a few in various degrees of “camo”

Use your imagination, good rattle can paint and the clear it when your satisfied. If you don’t like it on a year sand it off and try again.


Here is one in an “urban” camo I did with a sponge.
