Fun with spray paint on my deer gun

A handful of day Lilly leaves

Another view. The thinner leaves tend to make the coolest patterns
I'd bet of I let some grass overgrow I'm the yard that it would work well also.

Good looking paint job. Where did you get the bone collected stencil?

Outstanding job

TheBone collector stencil was home made.
I printed the logo from a google search and taped it to more tape that I applied to wax paper. I used an exactly knife to cut thru the whole mess. 4 failed tries and 2 nice frosty Sammy octoberfests later I had a usable stencil.

Fact:
Sam Adams Octoberfest makes everything better

My slug gun is in need of an update, I'm going to try some of your ideas, thanks.

Ok so I'll try to document it some. Remember I have the painting skills of a 6 yr old on a sugar rush.... Nil....

But you look 10-12 in the pics? Your parents are way cool to let you have those guns and paint them too.

I have had good luck with the same Krylon paints, I used brake cleaner to prep. Although my expectations were low, 8 years later the paint is still on the guns, waiting to be stripped and replaced with something better.

Good guess on my sons age

Base coat of khaki

Some green

Don't worry if its drab, the design only "pops" with the final contrast of khaki

Brown

Starting to add khaki

Don't be afraid to layer
