    Painted my Mossberg 500

    I've had this gun for well over a decade, and now that I've taken up waterfowl hunting I decided it needed a new look.

    Base coat is Cerakote H (sand), sprayed on with a $8 Harbor Fright airbrush and baked in a conventional oven (wife was not happy). Camo layers are Krylon and were masked with local plants for a pattern custom-matched to my locale. Sealed it all with a clear coat of Krylon.

    The plan is to spray it down with brakekleen or some other solvent when the Krylon wears out or I decide to change the pattern. That should strip it down to the Cerakote and then I can cheaply and easily re-spray with more Krylon.

    My inner Bubba is proud.

    Well done - that is quite sharp.

      Looks blind worthy. The Krylon camo paint is pretty damn durable. Hit it with some Minwax satin clear and it will last a looooong time. I have done a few guns with it and have yet to have to touch it up.

        I think this may have started something. I'm looking at my safe and seeing way too much black...

                  Looks Great

                  I did the same thing to my sons hunting air rifle a few years back and it still looks good today. He has bagged many a rabbit.
