Kel-Tec paint job?

[weezil_boi]

Awhile back, I saw a post which included an SU-16 that had a nice paint job. It was tan and had a netted pattern camo (not digital) of green and brown. I cant find it again. I tried the search, didnt find it.

If anyone can recall what the thread was, or who had the rifle, please let me know. I think it was this past spring???

I am considering a paint job on my SU-16CA, and really liked the one in the thread. I am just not sure if its a great idea... all that plastic.

Or, if you have any suggestions / cautions for the paint. I am all ears.

Is that a bayonet on a kel-tec?

Not a problem weezil_boi. My thread fu / search fu has become much stronger since my earlier days in this forum. I'm no Jedi Master like some here, but I'm glad to help when I can.

It looks like he used one of those "sniper veils" to produce the snake skin look.

If you go a bit further down in the thread, the owner tells you how he did it:

I covered the whole thing (minus areas like sights and ejection port) with a light tan paint and let dry. Then I laid a mesh netting from a military surplus store over the rifle and sprayed a little olive green and black paint over some areas of the gun. I'm happy with it. Here are some other pic....

Do the paint job that Mark Walberg does in "The Shooter"
