I recently moved to Tucson and after seeing what the desert sun does to anything dark/black (i.e. makes it burn the out of you) I decided that I had better paint my Remington 700 AAC-SD (.308 Win) even before getting a range membership. I consider this as tactical meets practical.
Today I picked up some Krylon camo paint and some adhesion promoter and went to work! I lightly scuffed up my B&C stock (MAN that was hard to make myself do!) with 220 grit sand paper and put down a base of adhesion promoter. I then painted the whole rifle with (I think) the sand colored Krylon camo paint. Here's the pictures so far.
Tomorrow I will be collecting some local foliage to use as a stencil to and some contrast with Krylon olive camo paint. Following that I'll use a matte clear coat to add some durability.
Stay tuned, if my results tomorrow are decent I'll be posting more pics!
