Rust-Oleum Camo Pack: amzn.to/1mamQUS Talking through and showing how I did my rattle can spray paint job on a Savage Mark II FV-SR in 22lr. www.squirrelhuntingjournal.com/
I have found that you can find several good plastic plants that make better stencils than the natural plants do. Being made of plastic, they are stiffer than natural plants and don't move while spraying. Plus, you can save them in your cammo kit for later touch ups or other projects.
Lol , thats Fred , i was in the check out line , like a week after thanksgiving at the dollar general store. I looked over next to me , there was 3 boxes of said stuff , dirt cheap . What was 2-5 dollars i got for less than a dollar . Like 50 or 75 cents . I loaded up on different leaf patterns and such , great deal ! Lol the lady looked at me kinda funny ' like would you a man be buying all this stuff . Then she couldn't help her self and did ask . My reply , im gonna paint Freedom . My rifle . I gotta say ive seen some great paint jobs , but Nate killed it here , especially with off the shelf walmart paint
Well done! I can't wait to paint my Savage .17wsm like that. Absolutely a wonderful paint job. It just looks great with the depth and how the dusting of paint gives little details while blending it all together
Excellent work. I relied heavily on this video when I originally painted my FV-SR over a year ago. Watched it again today as a brush-up because I'm about to swap out the factory stock. Thanks for sharing your work!
Looks good to me. My experience with Cerakote hasn’t been very good as far as durability goes. The great thing about a rattle can job, other than cost, is the ease of touching it up if needed. Thanks for the video from Central N.C.
I was thinking your base color was too light as well but I was wrong, that paint job turned out great. Much better than most I've seen and right up there with the best. Thanks for sharing.
I've probably watched at least 30 videos this afternoon, and this one definitely looks the best. Great job brother!👍 All I want to do is the slide on my pistol, so this gave me assurance that I can do it. Thanks for sharing! ☮️
The best DIY camo job I've seen. This rifle turned out perfect. Great contrast in the colors and I really like the soft edges left from using natural foliage instead of stencils. Great job!
Another tip, I see you're having trouble seeing the paint with the bushy pine leaf branch. Try snipping off some of it's branches to make it less bulky and more flat. The paint is having trouble spraying past the bushy stuff. And to those new to spray cans, and want to reuse the remaining paint in the can later, turn the can upside down and spray until paint stops flowing out of the nozzle. The nozzle and tube inside shouldn't clog up the next time you use it then. I'm spraying my RC tank in camo, great video thanks!
Nice job, looks great. Also, this was the best demo I've seen of actual show & tell of the process...of how you did it anyway. Gives me the confidence to do some camo projects myself. Thanks brother.
Brother you did an amazing job with the Camo I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like it but when you were done I just think it turned out phenomenal! I'm going to try it on my RRA Ar 10 thx for sharing!
so I'm sitting here surfing CSC while I'm watching camo vids on RU-vid, and out of nowhere comes the tactical Wilson racquet!! I've been browsing Dorton's thread daily for about a week now. just making sure this is what I really want to do to my AR. great job bud, and I'll see you on the board. zukimon out...
I just found this, and I agree, this is one of the best camo videos hands down. I am painting myself and I like the idea you used. Thanks for the information.
Must've watched 20 camo paint videos and this is one of the best if not the best. It's more than a camo job it's like a landscape portrait by a famous painter.
Wow! That's a pretty humbling statement. Makes me glad I actually filmed the whole ordeal. It's been watched way more than I ever expected it to be. Appreciate you dropping by and leaving a comment.
I've looked a dozens and dozens of camo videos and I think this is the one I'll use as may guide for doing my AR. I also have the FVSR in .22 long and will do it also.
Looks great. I always start with dark first and lighter colors after. It adds depth. When you look at the woods your lighter colors are out front and darker shadows as you look deeper in.
Its really nice that you don't take out hardly any of the footage from the video. When you can see everything that is done specifically, it really helps.
that's one of the best camo jobs i've seen on YT...great job,has lots of depth,looks very 3d...a little on the dark side for my area but that's easily cured..great job
Good video presentation as you built up the patterns and keep in mind that what you see just painted will diminish and get the lasting effect once it flashes off and starts to dry. Dusting with other colors lightly help blend or mesh in the colors to give it a more natural look in the end. A coat of clear coat mat also helps with a light dusting maybe max 2x from a distance to flatten and dull the colors.
Hey Nate, I used your method on my air rifle, and it came out great. Did it about 8 months ago, now decided to redo it. I have busted about 12 squirrels trying to get my peaches and pecans!, they can't see that camo job!!! Thanks again Bro...
I'm guessing you were in a hurry with the clear coat 'cause squirrel season was about to open... LOL!! Nice work - turned out very nice!! Hope you had a good season. I'll send all the turkey mites, skeeters and ticks down to your neck-o-the-woods!! Great job on the rifle!!
Now I have seen a lot of camo rifle jobs on you tube BUT I must say yours is the BEST. By Far. I have a few Savages myself also Marlins - all Bolt Actions. They are the most accurate. Sincerely, JAMES.
Turned out great!!! I'm getting ready to camo my Savage .22-250... Debating on whether to do the barrel or not... This video may have just convinced me to do it...
NICE... The whole trick to doing camo is to use what is around you. Leaves, ferns,grasses, whatever the background is, you need to mimic it. Very nice job Nate the bone buster
