I'm thinking of painting my Savage TR and looking for some ideas. I don't care if it's a Savage, CZ, etc, if you have one painted pls post your pics and a quick word on how you did the pattern.
couple of rimfires I've painted with threads here on the hide. The first pic is an savage fvt with my savage budget build 308 behind it. Thread for it is in my signature line. the other is also the mk2 in a boyds stock I reworked and repainted. Have another stock (richards in a btv) in the works right now.
Looks great. I used the same technique to paint my daughters Cricket rifle. Funny thing is that when I told her it was "tiger striped" she got all worried and informed me that she didn't like tigers. So I quickly said "it's zebra striped." To this day she talks about her "zebra striped" rifle.
This is one I painted for a guys son . I realize its not a rimfire but the paint doesn't really care
I painted the entire rifle Olive Green as a base coat and then used black , brown and tan along with a handful of weeds and brush from the backyard . I take the weeds and brush and hold them in one hand changing the angles I hold it while spraying a little bit of color through it . I just keep changing colors and adding a little here and there until it looks right .

Amazingly well. It doesn't like breakfree/brake cleaner and such but otherwise pretty good.
Great thing about krylon is that if it wears or your get tired of it, it's easy to change.

After looking at some of these others, I gotta try again. </div></div>
Why? Looks good to me. Wish I had the talent to do something other than globbing paint on with a sponge. Me and stencils don't get along very well.
It's OK, quite a struggle, but it was my first attempt. The pistola came out far better.
I like the daubed effect on the rifle in a post above, I may try that sometime.

Here's my painted savage mark II. There is a thread about painting it and some others over in the snipers hide gunsmithing forum. It's called Airbrushes and Airbrushing, maybe that will help you some.

Looks like you were rocking the sponge. Looks great.
Finished it up a little while ago. Also did a guitar a lot like this, but added some flames, and the skull is a solid graphic instead of reverse graphic like on the gun.
hey this is one of my first paint jobs i used sniper grey for the barreled action and mixed teflon black and cerakote graphite black for the stock what do you think? www.flickr.com/photos/65758882@N04/5985589095/

How often do you have to change the batteries in that rifle. WOW!

This was my first attempt at painting any kind of scheme on anything. I was pretty happy - took me about 10 minutes, if that! I'll be re-doing it to cover the barrel/action/scope soon.
