Process was easy:
-disassemble, degrease/oil with paint thinner, lightly sand with 600 or 800 grit.
-mask off parts you don't want painted.
-I used Krylon ultra flat spray paints
-Base coat in tan
-used a variety of grasses as a mask and put second coat of green
-Finer variety of grasses as a masl for top coat of black
-hand painted reeds with three colors of Testers (flat model paint)
-finish coat of flat acrylic seal.

Reassemble, shoot ducks.

Wow...Nice Don't drop it in the woods or you'll never find it again.

I've used DuraCoat on a couple of guns, but in all honesty, I prefer Krylon. Easy to touch up and/or remove to update with local foliage.

When I used it, I purchased DuraCoat through Lauer Weaponry.

Pastor that looks awesome! I did my mossy 500 a couple years back and I think it came out good, but yours is great. I may have to strip mine and see if I can get mine a little closer looking to yours. Great job!

Ditto...Pastor, that is an outstanding paint job...
