I got the nerve to think about painting my 22lr and decided to give it a shot. Looked up some posts here and on the web and decided on a kind of tiger stripe. I decided not to camo the barrel since I have seen a few guns on here with a solid color barrel and action with a camo stock and thought it looked alright. Several coats of some color and several coats of clear and done. I might try to do something different with the stripes if I redo it at some point. Let me know how it looks. Flashes always make the paint look reflective and shiny.
