Paintinting That Rifle

[@mapsofbeing5937]

broad strokes on top of broad strokes, that looks quite like the spraying video from a year ago as well
if feel like that's a great first step for the backdrop, but then it becomes even better with a second microtexturing step
you can do it directly by obscure the spray with random objects, from string or mesh to vegetation or 3d-printed stencils
or you can do an indirect texturing with soap or saranwrap or even simply a sponge
I think that'd be next-level, I'm waiting for spring and I'm diving in

I like the way I do it

I'm getting ready to paint my best AR once outside temperatures are warm enough to permit and I've been looking for a way to paint it without having it look all tactical GI Joe. I like the subtle transition between the colors you've pulled off with this method. Great job.

[@bluelinepatriot]

Thank you :)
I've painted a few rifles and this it the best method for me that I've learned

You actually look like your voice sounds. Many people look way different than what they sound like.
Also why did you leave law enforcement?

[@bluelinepatriot]

Thanks. Long story short I'm over it and found a much better paying job that gives me much more time off.

@@bluelinepatriot time off and peace of mind is important. Extra money doesn't hurt either! Good luck with the new career.

The rustoleum camo green is garbage. It’s a pale pastel green.

There are a few shades.
