Just finished a few guns with my homemade painted camo and only have a few more I need to paint. I was just wondering how many here would rather paint their own guns and what it looks like. I also gotta pillar bed and glass bed a few guns here soon so do you usually pay for the rifle already bedded, hire a gunsmith or do you like to do all the work yourself too?
Those look great. I did a shotgun a couple years ago in sagebrush for turkey hunting and liked how it turned out. Probably should have done the receiver as well.
My wife got talked into buying a used 7mm for me a few years ago. That gun had the most god-awful rattle-can paint job on it I've ever seen!! It was hideous!! I spent numerous hours trying to clean that ugly thing up as much as possible. I don't have any "after" pictures -- just this picture of how NOT to spray paint your gun!
I'll show ya a hideous god awful rattle can job. Do I care? Nope. All it has to do is match local color and break up outline. Looks FUGLY though don't it? LOL
Don’t know if this link will work but there’s a pretty good write up on how some one paints shotguns over on Duck Hunting Chat. One day I’ll probably try it on my duck gun.
** Sorry guys, I can not paint anyones gun as my real job requires me to be out of the country for 6 to 8 months a year ** Ok guys, after posting pics of the guns that I`ve painted, I`ve received a lot of requests on a step-by- step process. I have taken in a gun from Fowl Wishes here at DHC...

Worked well enough sighting in at 100 yards in my local mountains. Worked great actually. It detaches fairly easily. I take it off every time it goes in the safe. I like the dual purpose, as both a hand support to pull it into my shoulder, and as a bipod. Considering we're talking about a 20" barrel, with a X5 prism scope, i like it. It's worth mentioning that the proper way to use it (in my opinion) is to grab it foward of, and at the base of, the grip. Not the grip itself. Use it kinda like a foward angle grip.

I have to say, that's really cool! I've never tried painting my guns, but I've seen some unique camo patterns. Do you have any more pictures you could share? As for pillar bedding and glass bedding, I've always been too intimidated to do that kind of work myself, so I usually pay a gunsmith to do it for me. You've just inspired me to paint my staccato guns! Thanks for that!
