Almost finished, need ideas on color

[pyplynr]

Well here is my latest build. Duracoated my stock in my rendition of Multicam last week. Got my barrel headspaced and installed last night. Where I need help is what color to coat the barreled action, bottom metal and rings and whatnot? What say the Hide?

Nice work on the stock paint. I would use one of the 2 tan colors in the stock for the BA. Did you modify the forearm of the stock?

Nicely done! It looks like you've got some OD green in there. I'd try to match it up to that.

Mine is set up that way and turned out pretty good.

Yes I did redo the forearm. I really like the price of the B&C, but HATE the forend. This is the 3rd one I've remolded and so far and this is my favorite shape.

That's where I'm stuck. I'm not sure if the green would work better than the brown/tan and vice versa. Is yours paint or a dip? Because that stock looks really good

In Oklahoma I would suggest a tan or brown. Pick a color that matches your AO. You could paint it with krylon to see what you like best before you break out the duracoat. It strips off real fast with brake cleaner so it's not a big deal.

Patriot Brown or something like Sniper Grey Cerakote.

Dude come on! Spray it multi-cam to match!!!

Re: Almost finished, need ideas on color

I think i should send you my rifle that has an OD barreled action and you could do the same paint job to see how it looks

really though killer paint job! love the colors used i think a good tan pulled from the bass would look killer!

Re: Almost finished, need ideas on color

It should whatever YOU like really. I agree that if you're torn then experiment with krylon and see. My opinion is the matching multicam, but I'm a big OD fan too.

Honestly haven't thought of going that route. Wonder if it would look funny to have the whole thing multicam except the scope. Can't bring myself to spray any of my Nightforces. It gives me the creeps just thinking about accidentally getting paint on the glass!

I think it looks bad ass. There's a .260 in a T5 somewhere here on the hide that is totally multicam, and looks bad ass. Leave the scope, rings, base and bottom metal black and do the barreled action multicam...problem solved!!!

Forgive my ignorance, but what did you remold on the stock? Is it that the wide forearm was slimmed down?

Thanks.

 

[pyplynr]

Re: Almost finished, need ideas on color

Yes, I sanded off the parts that stick out the sides and sanded the bottom parallel with the mag well, then reshaped it with marine-tex.

 

[coryj]

Re: Almost finished, need ideas on color

Thanks. I like the price of the B&C stock as well, but I didn't like the way the sides stick out when I shot my buddy's gun. I never considered modifying it the way you did, but now I may give that a try.

The paint turned out awesome by the way, it looks really good.

Little off the subject (sorry) but what bipod is that!?

Re: Almost finished, need ideas on color

Bipod is an Atlas V8 made by the wonderful people at Accu-shot.

That barrel looks great with the stock's paint job. Good job!
