DefaultI got bored today

I got bored today and camoed my reciver and barrel. It is stainless, but some where along the way I had messed up the finish in several places, so I went ahead and painted it. I dont know how long it will last, but I think it sure looks cool for now. Tell me what you think about it.

evil, that really looks great!

How about a 'How To' thread in the Your Projects section so those of us that would like to do this can decide if our skill level is adequate.

I have practiced a lot over the last 2 years. I would paint PVC pipe about the same diamater as the barrel. It just takes practice, and prep-work.
