custom paint job on gamemaster

#1 Post by sambar » Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:46 pm

hi there i just got back from my last hunting trip where i got my first goat was a great trip and i decided to paint my bow camo i have been toying with the idea for some time now and im glad i went though with it. first i had to clean it up and give it a coat of primer then i painted it all black. while it was drying i was cutting out little stickers out of masking tape then once dry i sat down and stuck them all on, that will leave the black shapes u can see. then i painted it all green and let it dry then i masked up patches that i wanted to stay green and then sprayed it all brown. Now it looks like a dogs breakfast when its all masked up and covered in paint but here is the end result i think it came out quite well. The paint i used was from a auto paint shop its the same stuff the army uses to touch up the vehicles so its super flat.

That looks like a professional job, mate. Awesome stuff.
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

Looks good mate

Top Job mate you really did a good job.

Be carefull where you put it down, you might have trouble finding it :wink:

Never under estimate the strength of a cornered coward.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
