Is there a gun in those pictures? I think it is fine, however what is more important is how you like it. Who cares what we all think, it is your gun.

Thanks old school I am happy with it just thought I would get a few outside opinions

**Old School** · 06-16-2005, 10:03 AM

Hey RangeRat,

That is a very good cammo job...is that straight paint or something you had to mask or bake on?
Also...how is the durability of it?

I personally like it alot....especially if it is a tough durable finish.

Obviously you like it...so good luck with it!

The paint is from http://www.lauerweaponry.com/ it is supposed to be durable after applying the base coat I had to tape and spray 4 separate colors and then a clear coat over that You can bake it on to speed up the process I only waited 2 to 3 hours between coats so it took two days to complete with dry times I am going to shoot it today I will post in a couple of weeks on how it handled a few thousand rounds THANKS

Thanks Balut your rifle job is sweet I'm sure I could do a much better job on the next one now that I have some practice. I decided I'm going to sell my glock and get a XD sub compact and I'm going to try one of the urban kits on it

Both of those are bad ass.

I think it looks pretty sweet. I think urban winter camo would be awesome too.
Great work both of you on those camo jobs.
