The Gun Counter

I saw a cammo pattern called Riptile that I liked and was thinking about painting one of my ARs. It didn’t look all that hard, but I wanted to try it out on something else before I attempt to paint one of my rifles.
I had an old water bottle sitting around that looked like it would be a great test subject.
I gave it a light sanding and cleaned it up and applied a green base coat. I then used so some netting and some gray paint for scales. I then used painters tape to make my stencils. I just tore it into strips and put them on the bottle. I then used a darker green paint to cover everything. An airbrush is needed for the next step, which is to spray the edges of the stencils with black paint, need to get an air brush.
So I just gave it a shot with a can of spray paint. I think I play with some other color combinations and get an airbrush set before I paint one of my ARs.

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

The pattern reminds me somewhat of the Lizard pattern used by the Legion and others in the first phase of the Indochina war games (live fire) of the 1950's

I finished an ammo can . Not sure if I like the color combo.

I like this one better.

Yes to the second can. Nice.

Definitely the second one.
