Sorry it took so long to reply but Ive been busy with the farm and our jerky shop.I got some of the new camo paint that comes out in diff patterns when you spray it, just rotate the nozzle for diff patterns,lol. But seriously I used krylon ultra flat paint, I bought a camo spary paint kit from walmart or somewhere awhile back.I sprayed the light color 1st then sponged on the darker colors. I figured I better camo the boys gun up good since he has been taking that with us yote hunting,trying to get him learned up for the 223, he says," I wont shoot till I can see the white his the yotes eyes, then Ill shoot that eye out cause I sure dont want to wound him." I dont know where he gets it.
