That is an excellent paint job.
But like they said, if your in the woods and mother nature calls and you need to drop 'em to answerl, better tie a big red ribbon around that thing before you lean it against a tree and get to work or you might not find it after the paper work. That is really sharp looking. Is that hard to do?

DVR, just got my Wolf the other day. What did you use to do the camo job?
Looks great!
Looks great!
thanks again. I will try not to lay it down and walk off.
I was not difficult. I masked off the things I did not want painted, Wiped down all the areas I intended to paint with solvent to remove any oil. Sprayed a light even coat of the krylon fusion spray paint (it adheres to plastic or metal) in khaki and allowed it to dry. Then sprayed flat black paint over the marage pattern stencil and allowed to dry. Then flat brown over reed stencils and allowed to dry. Then od green flat over reed stencils. I let it sit for 24 hours and then sprayed with flat clear sealer.
Typically, I would base coat in od green and finish in khaki. The khaki was what I had on hand in the fusion paint.
Stencils can be expensive. You can cut your own from mylar sheets or used x-ray film if you have access to it.
