Leo Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks guys I'm happy with how it turned out. I should try and adjust the white balance on my camera the base coat is actually more tan than it appears in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Here I adjusted the whitebalance. Now you can see it's tan and not white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Looks good Leo. What paints did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Looks good Leo. What paints did you use? I flame treated the synthetic with a propane torch and then laid down 2 coats of appliance epoxy paint (tan) for the base. I used the spoon method to do the "webbing" with Modern Masters Metallic paint and then finally sealed it with Rustoleaum Ultra Cover clear matte.

hunterbobb Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 For some reason none of your pictures showed up. Could you explain in a little more detail how you did. the webbing. I'm not familiar with the spoon method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hopefully they show up now. The "Spoon method" is exactly how it sounds. You drip the paint on by gently shaking plastic spoons. Practice a little on a piece of cardboard first to get the hang of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 That looks good, Leo! What type of paint did you apply. I was thinking of doing that to my black gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Looks good Leo! It's different which should turn people's heads and give you something to talk about around the camp fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
