This is why we\u2019re here, to provide you with said specifics.<\/p>\r\n Sure, spray paint is not nearly as durable as other coating types. But it can be reapplied quickly and cheaply. This makes seasonal camouflage\u00a0changes more practical. There are many different ways to go about doing this; this guide shows you one method and touches on a few suggestions that can lead you to others. Do your research and have at it. Don\u2019t be too intimidated to take on a project like this; it\u2019s only paint after all. We\u2019ve even included a sidebar in case you made a mistake and want to start over (we have no tolerance for misteaks). Painting a scheme on your gear can be a rewarding experience as long as you know the basics.<\/p>\r\n What You\u2019ll Need For This Tutorial:<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n Before touching a firearm for this project, let\u2019s be sure that it is safe and unloaded. As always, all firearm safety rules apply here, people!<\/p>\r\n Camouflage Patterns and Colors<\/b><\/p>\r\n Finding the right patterns and colors to use for your camouflage paint scheme depends greatly on your goals. If you want your gear to blend into the surroundings, take note of the natural environment of your region. If you live near a very green and wooded area, for example, your scheme will look completely different from someone whose scheme reflects an arid desert area. If you\u2019re surrounded by concrete and steel in a dense urban area, you might want your scheme to reflect that look.<\/p>\r\n If you\u2019re choosing to paint a scheme just for the fun of it, that\u2019s completely fine too. There are plenty of cool-looking schemes to choose from. Be imaginative and use reference pictures that you find online or in magazines or books as inspiration. If you\u2019re artistic and adventurous, you can freestyle it too; spray a random pattern and make adjustments on the fly.<\/p>\r\n Spray Paints<\/b><\/p>\r\n Regardless of what pattern you chose, be aware of the colors needed. Your scheme is limited to what color spray paints are available. We recommend using solely flat or matte paints that don\u2019t give off any shine. Although we should add that if you stay within the same base family and choose only flat paints, this narrows your available choices significantly, so plan your scheme accordingly.<\/p>\r\n For our guide, we selected acrylic-based paints by Rustoleum and Krylon. Both are easy to apply, dry quickly and work well layered on top of one another. We also recommend Aervoe enamels and a truly fantastic, long-lasting paint by Brownell\u2019s called Aluma-Hyde II.<\/p>\r\n A Word About Layering Paint<\/b><\/p>\r\n The basic rule when applying layers is to use the same type of paint whenever possible. If you go with acrylic paint, then make sure every paint you use is acrylic-based. The same goes for enamel and epoxy-based paints. If there\u2019s a particular shade of paint that you want to use that only comes in a different base, fear not: You can still use it, just with a little more time and care.<\/p>\r\n Let\u2019s say that you put down a layer of enamel and you want to spray acrylic on top of it. Make sure the enamel base layers are completely dry before you apply the acrylic. Not just dry to the touch, which is usually a few hours after spraying, but completely air-dried for a couple of days at least. If you don\u2019t allow the base layers to dry completely and you spray a different paint type on top too soon, the undercoat may chemically react in a way that will really bum you out. When you spray acrylic-based paint on top of enamel that hasn\u2019t sufficiently cured, a common occurrence is that it wrinkles and ends up cracking the paint\u2019s surface (we told you it would bum you out).<\/p>\r\n Making a Stencil<\/b><\/p>\r\n You can make your own stencil or use objects such as leaves or nets. A stencil can be anything your imagination can dream up. There is no need to use a stencil, but if you do choose to make one, it can be made out of everything from masking tape, paper plates, sheets of paper or even the flat parts of that annoying, impossible-to-open clamshell plastic packaging (those containers deserve to be cut up).<\/p>\r\n Use a marker to draw shapes onto whatever surface you choose to use as your stencil. In our case, we used letter-sized pieces of cardstock. The kind of scheme you chose dictates what shapes you draw onto the stencil. We decided to make a custom pattern inspired by the colors of a copperhead snake mixed with elements of MultiCam, which we\u2019ll just call \u201cCopperCam.\u201d As a result, we drew random rounded, squiggly shapes and little jellybean-like shapes. Once you\u2019ve finished drawing, you can cut out the shapes with a hobby knife or scissors.<\/p>\r\n Because our scheme doesn\u2019t require hard definitive lines, we got away with the cardstock. If you want to paint hard lines, try using a high-quality painter\u2019s tape. Layer the blue tape down on wax paper, slightly overlapping each strip so that you form a giant solid painter\u2019s tape sheet. Now you can draw and cut out your scheme. You\u2019ll be able to tape the pattern directly onto the surface, creating nice, sharp lines. Pro tip: Layer the wax paper on both sides so after you cut it, you\u2019ll have twice as many stencils.<\/p>\r\n Make a Painting Plan <\/b><\/p>\r\n Look through the steps as laid out in this guide and then you can decide exactly which components you want to paint and how you plan to do it.<\/p>\r\n In our example, we painted an AR-15 rifle. There are a few ways you can paint this type of item; either break it down into individual pieces, paint it in complete groups like upper and lower receivers, or do the entire rifle as one piece. The best approach depends on your scheme and which parts you want painted.<\/p>\r\n Your plan of attack to paint each item depends on the complexity of the piece and your scheme. After painting a couple of things, the planning stage will come easier.<\/p>\r\n Prepping & Washing<\/b><\/p>\r\n After you figure out how you want to paint your gun, it\u2019s time to prep the parts. Prepping the parts before you paint them is the most important part of this endeavor. Make sure to thoroughly degrease, wash and dry everything you want to paint. Any dust, lint, oil or grease remnants won\u2019t allow the paint to stick. For really slick surfaces, you might want to lightly scuff them up with some steel wool. The micro abrasions help the paint adhere better.<\/p>\r\n Masking<\/b><\/p>\r\n Mask all the parts that you don\u2019t want painted with a high-quality masking tape. In our example, we decided in the planning stage to paint this rifle as a combination of parts. We painted the upper and lower receivers and buttstock separately. We left the upper pretty much intact minus accessories, charging handle and bolt carrier group and stripped the lower, while leaving its grip and trigger guard in place. We masked the upper and lower parts that we wanted to keep free of paint. Take your time and do this carefully. You don\u2019t want to miss any parts, because you might gum up the action\u00a0with paint.<\/p>\r\n Getting Ready to Spray<\/b><\/p>\r\n If you enjoy breathing, always wear a respirator face mask and be sure to spray in a well-ventilated area. Surgical-style gloves will keep paint off your hands, and you should also place a tarp or newspapers on the floor to catch any overspray.<\/p>\r\n Rattle-canning a three-dimensional object, especially one that has many contours and textures, presents a few challenges. It can be difficult to get every little nook and cranny, and no one wants to hear that \u201cyou missed a spot.\u201d While you can place the object on the floor or elevated on a cardboard box, we\u2019ve found that hanging it gives you more angles to properly cover every spot with paint. We always use a clothes rack and wire shirt hangers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n This is the Cadillac of takedown rifles. The Traveler is available in three grades\u2014 Classic, Safari and African\u2014and you can choose from a limitless array of upgrades. This rifle has a unique takedown system that offers threadless assembly and disassembly. It\u2019s available in calibers from .22-250 to .450 Dakota. Lastly is MSRP, which comes in at $8,890.

If you don\u2019t allow the base layers to dry completely and you spray a different paint type on top too soon, the undercoat may chemically react in a way that will really bum you out. When you spray acrylic-based paint on top of enamel that hasn\u2019t sufficiently cured, a common occurrence is that it wrinkles and ends up cracking the paint\u2019s surface (we told you it would bum you out).<\/p>\r\n Making a Stencil<\/b><\/p>\r\n You can make your own stencil or use objects such as leaves or nets. A stencil can be anything your imagination can dream up. There is no need to use a stencil, but if you do choose to make one, it can be made out of everything from masking tape, paper plates, sheets of paper or even the flat parts of that annoying, impossible-to-open clamshell plastic packaging (those containers deserve to be cut up).<\/p>\r\n Use a marker to draw shapes onto whatever surface you choose to use as your stencil. In our case, we used letter-sized pieces of cardstock. The kind of scheme you chose dictates what shapes you draw onto the stencil. We decided to make a custom pattern inspired by the colors of a copperhead snake mixed with elements of MultiCam, which we\u2019ll just call \u201cCopperCam.\u201d As a result, we drew random rounded, squiggly shapes and little jellybean-like shapes. Once you\u2019ve finished drawing, you can cut out the shapes with a hobby knife or scissors.<\/p>\r\n Because our scheme doesn\u2019t require hard definitive lines, we got away with the cardstock. If you want to paint hard lines, try using a high-quality painter\u2019s tape. Layer the blue tape down on wax paper, slightly overlapping each strip so that you form a giant solid painter\u2019s tape sheet. Now you can draw and cut out your scheme. You\u2019ll be able to tape the pattern directly onto the surface, creating nice, sharp lines. Pro tip: Layer the wax paper on both sides so after you cut it, you\u2019ll have twice as many stencils.<\/p>\r\n Make a Painting Plan <\/b><\/p>\r\n Look through the steps as laid out in this guide and then you can decide exactly which components you want to paint and how you plan to do it.<\/p>\r\n In our example, we painted an AR-15 rifle. There are a few ways you can paint this type of item; either break it down into individual pieces, paint it in complete groups like upper and lower receivers, or do the entire rifle as one piece. The best approach depends on your scheme and which parts you want painted.<\/p>\r\n Your plan of attack to paint each item depends on the complexity of the piece and your scheme. After painting a couple of things, the planning stage will come easier.<\/p>\r\n Prepping & Washing<\/b><\/p>\r\n After you figure out how you want to paint your gun, it\u2019s time to prep the parts. Prepping the parts before you paint them is the most important part of this endeavor. Make sure to thoroughly degrease, wash and dry everything you want to paint.

In our example, we decided in the planning stage to paint this rifle as a combination of parts. We painted the upper and lower receivers and buttstock separately. We left the upper pretty much intact minus accessories, charging handle and bolt carrier group and stripped the lower, while leaving its grip and trigger guard in place. We masked the upper and lower parts that we wanted to keep free of paint. Take your time and do this carefully. You don\u2019t want to miss any parts, because you might gum up the action\u00a0with paint.<\/p>\r\n Getting Ready to Spray<\/b><\/p>\r\n If you enjoy breathing, always wear a respirator face mask and be sure to spray in a well-ventilated area. Surgical-style gloves will keep paint off your hands, and you should also place a tarp or newspapers on the floor to catch any overspray.<\/p>\r\n Rattle-canning a three-dimensional object, especially one that has many contours and textures, presents a few challenges.

A much less expensive and immediate way to achieve a similar effect is to paint the camouflage yourself, by way of rattle can.<\/p>\r\n\r\n There are a number of reasons why one would want to cover their gear in camouflage, ranging from survival purposes to aesthetics. Maybe your gun\u2019s original finish was ruined and you need to cover it up to prevent corrosion. Or you want to break up the lines on a storage container so it isn\u2019t so blatantly visible. Heck, you can even go all out and camouflage\u00a0your truck (you\u2019ll never lose it at the mall, but the woods might get tricky). No matter the reason, figuring out how to pull off a good camouflage\u00a0paint job can be a bit overwhelming if you don\u2019t know certain specifics. This is why we\u2019re here, to provide you with said specifics.<\/p>\r\n Sure, spray paint is not nearly as durable as other coating types. But it can be reapplied quickly and cheaply. This makes seasonal camouflage\u00a0changes more practical. There are many different ways to go about doing this; this guide shows you one method and touches on a few suggestions that can lead you to others. Do your research and have at it. Don\u2019t be too intimidated to take on a project like this; it\u2019s only paint after all. We\u2019ve even included a sidebar in case you made a mistake and want to start over (we have no tolerance for misteaks). Painting a scheme on your gear can be a rewarding experience as long as you know the basics.<\/p>\r\n What You\u2019ll Need For This Tutorial:<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n Before touching a firearm for this project, let\u2019s be sure that it is safe and unloaded. As always, all firearm safety rules apply here, people!<\/p>\r\n Camouflage Patterns and Colors<\/b><\/p>\r\n Finding the right patterns and colors to use for your camouflage paint scheme depends greatly on your goals. If you want your gear to blend into the surroundings, take note of the natural environment of your region. If you live near a very green and wooded area, for example, your scheme will look completely different from someone whose scheme reflects an arid desert area. If you\u2019re surrounded by concrete and steel in a dense urban area, you might want your scheme to reflect that look.<\/p>\r\n If you\u2019re choosing to paint a scheme just for the fun of it, that\u2019s completely fine too. There are plenty of cool-looking schemes to choose from. Be imaginative and use reference pictures that you find online or in magazines or books as inspiration. If you\u2019re artistic and adventurous, you can freestyle it too; spray a random pattern and make adjustments on the fly.<\/p>\r\n Spray Paints<\/b><\/p>\r\n Regardless of what pattern you chose, be aware of the colors needed. Your scheme is limited to what color spray paints are available. We recommend using solely flat or matte paints that don\u2019t give off any shine. Although we should add that if you stay within the same base family and choose only flat paints, this narrows your available choices significantly, so plan your scheme accordingly.<\/p>\r\n For our guide, we selected acrylic-based paints by Rustoleum and Krylon. Both are easy to apply, dry quickly and work well layered on top of one another. We also recommend Aervoe enamels and a truly fantastic, long-lasting paint by Brownell\u2019s called Aluma-Hyde II.<\/p>\r\n A Word About Layering Paint<\/b><\/p>\r\n The basic rule when applying layers is to use the same type of paint whenever possible. If you go with acrylic paint, then make sure every paint you use is acrylic-based. The same goes for enamel and epoxy-based paints. If there\u2019s a particular shade of paint that you want to use that only comes in a different base, fear not: You can still use it, just with a little more time and care.<\/p>\r\n Let\u2019s say that you put down a layer of enamel and you want to spray acrylic on top of it. Make sure the enamel base layers are completely dry before you apply the acrylic. Not just dry to the touch, which is usually a few hours after spraying, but completely air-dried for a couple of days at least. If you don\u2019t allow the base layers to dry completely and you spray a different paint type on top too soon, the undercoat may chemically react in a way that will really bum you out. When you spray acrylic-based paint on top of enamel that hasn\u2019t sufficiently cured, a common occurrence is that it wrinkles and ends up cracking the paint\u2019s surface (we told you it would bum you out).<\/p>\r\n Making a Stencil<\/b><\/p>\r\n You can make your own stencil or use objects such as leaves or nets.

If sending your gear out to a professional coating service will be too tough on your wallet and the extensive turnaround time too excruciating, there is another option. A much less expensive and immediate way to achieve a similar effect is to paint the camouflage yourself, by way of rattle can.<\/p>\r\n\r\n There are a number of reasons why one would want to cover their gear in camouflage, ranging from survival purposes to aesthetics. Maybe your gun\u2019s original finish was ruined and you need to cover it up to prevent corrosion. Or you want to break up the lines on a storage container so it isn\u2019t so blatantly visible. Heck, you can even go all out and camouflage\u00a0your truck (you\u2019ll never lose it at the mall, but the woods might get tricky). No matter the reason, figuring out how to pull off a good camouflage\u00a0paint job can be a bit overwhelming if you don\u2019t know certain specifics. This is why we\u2019re here, to provide you with said specifics.<\/p>\r\n Sure, spray paint is not nearly as durable as other coating types. But it can be reapplied quickly and cheaply. This makes seasonal camouflage\u00a0changes more practical. There are many different ways to go about doing this; this guide shows you one method and touches on a few suggestions that can lead you to others. Do your research and have at it. Don\u2019t be too intimidated to take on a project like this; it\u2019s only paint after all. We\u2019ve even included a sidebar in case you made a mistake and want to start over (we have no tolerance for misteaks). Painting a scheme on your gear can be a rewarding experience as long as you know the basics.<\/p>\r\n What You\u2019ll Need For This Tutorial:<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n Before touching a firearm for this project, let\u2019s be sure that it is safe and unloaded. As always, all firearm safety rules apply here, people!<\/p>\r\n Camouflage Patterns and Colors<\/b><\/p>\r\n Finding the right patterns and colors to use for your camouflage paint scheme depends greatly on your goals. If you want your gear to blend into the surroundings, take note of the natural environment of your region. If you live near a very green and wooded area, for example, your scheme will look completely different from someone whose scheme reflects an arid desert area. If you\u2019re surrounded by concrete and steel in a dense urban area, you might want your scheme to reflect that look.<\/p>\r\n If you\u2019re choosing to paint a scheme just for the fun of it, that\u2019s completely fine too. There are plenty of cool-looking schemes to choose from. Be imaginative and use reference pictures that you find online or in magazines or books as inspiration. If you\u2019re artistic and adventurous, you can freestyle it too; spray a random pattern and make adjustments on the fly.<\/p>\r\n Spray Paints<\/b><\/p>\r\n Regardless of what pattern you chose, be aware of the colors needed. Your scheme is limited to what color spray paints are available. We recommend using solely flat or matte paints that don\u2019t give off any shine. Although we should add that if you stay within the same base family and choose only flat paints, this narrows your available choices significantly, so plan your scheme accordingly.<\/p>\r\n For our guide, we selected acrylic-based paints by Rustoleum and Krylon. Both are easy to apply, dry quickly and work well layered on top of one another. We also recommend Aervoe enamels and a truly fantastic, long-lasting paint by Brownell\u2019s called Aluma-Hyde II.<\/p>\r\n A Word About Layering Paint<\/b><\/p>\r\n The basic rule when applying layers is to use the same type of paint whenever possible. If you go with acrylic paint, then make sure every paint you use is acrylic-based. The same goes for enamel and epoxy-based paints. If there\u2019s a particular shade of paint that you want to use that only comes in a different base, fear not: You can still use it, just with a little more time and care.<\/p>\r\n Let\u2019s say that you put down a layer of enamel and you want to spray acrylic on top of it. Make sure the enamel base layers are completely dry before you apply the acrylic. Not just dry to the touch, which is usually a few hours after spraying, but completely air-dried for a couple of days at least. If you don\u2019t allow the base layers to dry completely and you spray a different paint type on top too soon, the undercoat may chemically react in a way that will really bum you out. When you spray acrylic-based paint on top of enamel that hasn\u2019t sufficiently cured, a common occurrence is that it wrinkles and ends up cracking the paint\u2019s surface (we told you it would bum you out).<\/p>\r\n Making a Stencil<\/b><\/p>\r\n You can make your own stencil or use objects such as leaves or nets. A stencil can be anything your imagination can dream up. There is no need to use a stencil, but if you do choose to make one, it can be made out of everything from masking tape, paper plates, sheets of paper or even the flat parts of that annoying, impossible-to-open clamshell plastic packaging (those containers deserve to be cut up).<\/p>\r\n Use a marker to draw shapes onto whatever surface you choose to use as your stencil. In our case, we used letter-sized pieces of cardstock. The kind of scheme you chose dictates what shapes you draw onto the stencil. We decided to make a custom pattern inspired by the colors of a copperhead snake mixed with elements of MultiCam, which we\u2019ll just call \u201cCopperCam.\u201d As a result, we drew random rounded, squiggly shapes and little jellybean-like shapes. Once you\u2019ve finished drawing, you can cut out the shapes with a hobby knife or scissors.<\/p>\r\n Because our scheme doesn\u2019t require hard definitive lines, we got away with the cardstock. If you want to paint hard lines, try using a high-quality painter\u2019s tape. Layer the blue tape down on wax paper, slightly overlapping each strip so that you form a giant solid painter\u2019s tape sheet. Now you can draw and cut out your scheme. You\u2019ll be able to tape the pattern directly onto the surface, creating nice, sharp lines. Pro tip: Layer the wax paper on both sides so after you cut it, you\u2019ll have twice as many stencils.<\/p>\r\n Make a Painting Plan <\/b><\/p>\r\n Look through the steps as laid out in this guide and then you can decide exactly which components you want to paint and how you plan to do it.<\/p>\r\n In our example, we painted an AR-15 rifle. There are a few ways you can paint this type of item; either break it down into individual pieces, paint it in complete groups like upper and lower receivers, or do the entire rifle as one piece. The best approach depends on your scheme and which parts you want painted.<\/p>\r\n Your plan of attack to paint each item depends on the complexity of the piece and your scheme. After painting a couple of things, the planning stage will come easier.<\/p>\r\n Prepping & Washing<\/b><\/p>\r\n After you figure out how you want to paint your gun, it\u2019s time to prep the parts. Prepping the parts before you paint them is the most important part of this endeavor. Make sure to thoroughly degrease, wash and dry everything you want to paint. Any dust, lint, oil or grease remnants won\u2019t allow the paint to stick. For really slick surfaces, you might want to lightly scuff them up with some steel wool. The micro abrasions help the paint adhere better.<\/p>\r\n Masking<\/b><\/p>\r\n Mask all the parts that you don\u2019t want painted with a high-quality masking tape. In our example, we decided in the planning stage to paint this rifle as a combination of parts. We painted the upper and lower receivers and buttstock separately. We left the upper pretty much intact minus accessories, charging handle and bolt carrier group and stripped the lower, while leaving its grip and trigger guard in place. We masked the upper and lower parts that we wanted to keep free of paint. Take your time and do this carefully. You don\u2019t want to miss any parts, because you might gum up the action\u00a0with paint.<\/p>\r\n Getting Ready to Spray<\/b><\/p>\r\n If you enjoy breathing, always wear a respirator face mask and be sure to spray in a well-ventilated area. Surgical-style gloves will keep paint off your hands, and you should also place a tarp or newspapers on the floor to catch any overspray.<\/p>\r\n Rattle-canning a three-dimensional object, especially one that has many contours and textures, presents a few challenges. It can be difficult to get every little nook and cranny, and no one wants to hear that \u201cyou missed a spot.\u201d While you can place the object on the floor or elevated on a cardboard box, we\u2019ve found that hanging it gives you more angles to properly cover every spot with paint. We always use a clothes rack and wire shirt hangers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n H-S Precision is bringing the art of the takedown rifle into the modern era.
