    This is my first Duracoat project.

    Rem 710 30.06.

    What do Ya'll think? Should i have stopped before green accents? 2013-04-16_19-08-41_961.jpg2013-04-16_19-09-33_119.jpg2013-04-23_20-26-59_651.jpg2013-04-27_12-00-00_525.jpg

    Not a fan of the green accents. Looks good otherwise.



    ...ALTHOUGH, if you put some little fish in there it might look like an underwater scene :)

    It definitely looks like you brought the rifle back to life. Don't worry too much about the green. Just don't go overboard like the Rhodesians with baby poop camo on the FALs. (After a while it grows on you though)

    First let me say that that is some artistry there. Great job. Second, I think the green does put it over the top but makes it better than the run of the mill camo jobs that can be found everywhere. I certainly would let you do a camo job on a rifle for me. Wish I had one to do.

    I used templets that i drew and cut out for all of camo.
    All of it is my design,I did not copy anyone's design.
    I don't think i'm quite ready to tackle other people weapons yet.
    I want to get a little more accustomed to the product.

    My next is a 870 remington to coat for duck hunting. i'll post as so as i'm done with it.

    Ya'll feedback is great thanks.

    Looks good!

    I think the green made it look more like a painting or wall art than camo. I could see it hanging on the wall in a southern flowershop!

    I'd kill a deer with it, but my wife would take it from me and add some pink flowers.

    Bottom line ... You got skill

    Nice to see the pics on a bigger screen Norsewolf. I like it better without the green accents, but both look pretty good. This is especially true as it is your first try.

    Oh, and thanks for the work this afternoon. Nice to have some cool air.
