    My advice is apply a thin first coat and let it dry. Then gradually increase the thickness of subsequent coats, letting each dry completely. If you dont the nylon will drink the paint and itll us4 a ton.

      This was my experience. It soaks up the paint and just looks smudgy

    Why I like surplus gear in not worried about spray painting it or fucking it up

      Yeah, it's a lot less worry to paint it all up.

    I've painted UCP gear (no explanation needed) and I've wondered about how they'd look under NODs.

      I've never painted much UCP, but everything I've worked with that was painted under NVGs was no brighter then non painted versions of the same. I'm sure it technically is but I never noticed a difference. Rifles never "popped" out under them.

    Darker colors are harder to paint, for example black. You'll need lot of paint or heavy colors for it. Remember it's easier to paint lighter colors like coyote brown or ranger green. Single colors are easier to paint then camos.

      I was going to ask about black. The wife got me a slew of pouches that are black. They work great but stand out like a sore thumb.

      @@marshallclowers1242 for black like I said lots of paint, or a darker color then the pounch so if it's like a black, then you want something like a darker green so it soaks up the black but still leaves some green. But if you want a black to tan, MIST it, let it dry, mist again, let dry and repeat or reapply as needed. Hope that helps man.

      Oh also don't let it pool up or go super heavy right off the back. You gotta layer it.

    Isn't the purpose of camouflage not to have a "pattern"?

    You can do some cool stuff for sure with the esthetics of the paint. Cool tiger stripes are 100% possible with some good card stock as a stencil

      Yeah, with some practice and stencils you can get pretty wild.

    Great job, Brother !!
    Here are just some suggestions:
    - You can use torn cardboard to use the edges as a "stencil". You can use it to spray straight down for more bold lines....or at an angle to get more subdued lines with a slowly faded appearance. (From on the cardboard, towards the edge away from the cardboard "stencil")
    It works in areas with Maple, Oak, etc. "leafy" type of areas. (Not so much in "piney" areas, but will be better than some other camo patterns).
    -As far as the velcro, if you get them gobbed up with paint, get a stiff nylon bristled brush (or a metal bristled toothbrush-type) to brush off the paint AFTER it has dried. Try to do it gently, at first, until you get the gist of how to get rid of the paint, without messing up the velcro.
    Thanks for your videos !!!
    Keep up the great work !!!
