spectre30 11 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Here she is, almost the way I want her. Don't give me crap about the sights, I don't like them either. Saving up for the HK style or a dot sight. Any way, Here is another pattern I made, taking bits a pieces from other patterns. It's growing on me. Let me know what you think, you won't hurt my feelings. (At least you won't see me cry if you do) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I like it. I also think that pattern would look good in green/dark green w/ a hint of black combo but the pattern is great I just dont have a need for tan in WV. Now if you could come up with a camo pattern that worked with mobile home siding you could make a killing up here. And don't worry I won't give you crap about your sights but I will give you crap about not having your barrel threaded. In this day and age not having your barrel threaded some people you just can't help wondering if maybe they were dropped on there head as a baby. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spectre30 11 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Yeah, I chopped the barrel and haven't re threaded it yet. Looks naked Here's a my Tippmann A5 with a pattern more like what you're talking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR Young 175 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Wow. Once again, I say that I NORMALLY do not like camo finishes, but the job on your S12 is really nice. Very well done, and breaks up the horizontal lines in the gun perfectly. Very, very nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgconnor13 206 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Looks sweet. Really like the way you blended the brown and tan together. Wish I could paint like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I think the color and pattern is badass! The color looks very Copperhead'esque'... good job man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nolite310 3 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I like the cheek pad on the stock. Who makes it and where where can i buy one? And thats an amazing paint job, you may have one more customer in a month or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 VERY NICE!! How well will it hold up on the plastic parts?? Did you pull it all the way apart including gas block to get a base coat on it?? Id like to see a step by step thing. Really looks good. Almost to good to shoot. As long as you prep the surface of the plastic a bit it should hold just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lksyotas 4 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Wow, great camo job, you see a lot of them on different boards and each are unique in their own way but I love the fade job you do on the edges. Are you airbrushing and if so which model are you using? Looks to fine for spray can to me...Awesome combo though regardless! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Klassy Kalashnikov 1,393 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I really like the color scheme, you definitely have skill as a painter too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whoizrob 3 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 What colors did you use for the duracoat? Any clear over the top? Looks great! Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spectre30 11 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Thanks so much for the compliments! I used the DuraCoat Afghan Camo Pack. I blended the colors here and there to get the shades that suited me. I use an HVLP sprayer with a 1.1 mm needle. I find it works for any situation I need. It's all about adjusting PSI and needle depth. Rarely do I break out my Paasche Double Action. As what Nailbomb said, it's all about the prep. Poor prep = flaking and peeling. I have found that DuraCoat bonds better to plastics, especially if it has a little texture to it, but that is my experience. I got the cheek pad from Carolina Shooters Supply, can't remember the brand but it was only $12! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Very nice. Great work, as usual. I remember your last camo thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobRez 1,895 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 My one critique is that your camo pattern has become just that... a "pattern" that is too evenly spaced and organized looking. The colors are spot on for the environment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McabanissII 2 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 The very first thing I thought of when i saw this was a copperhead!! I love it!!! Great job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trickey99 10 Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Very Nice!!! Definitely looks like a Copperhead! Good Work!!! I wonder if its possible to do the same kind of pattern in Cerakote? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BpS12 512 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Very Nice Spectre, very nice. Would be great if I still lived in Arizona. Edited December 2, 2010 by BpS12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danklab 57 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I like it a lot. I wouldn't mind having that same pattern in black and grey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spectre30 11 Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Black and grey would look really sweet. I'll have to work on that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danklab 57 Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Black and grey would look really sweet. I'll have to work on that one. Yeah B&G is the shit.. My s-12 is 2 tone.. just didn't have the balls to paint a brand new Chaos rail just yet. Once the finish gets beat up I might try something different. Might try to do a digi-cam like I did on my box underneath. But the natural edges and fade are pretty damn sweet on the scheme you've got there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
