What is the best way to camouflage paint my hunting rifle, shotgun, and binoculars?
Well first off I need to camouflage for Arizona's Desert landscape. What colors should I use?
My rifle is a bolt gun and I'm only concerned with applying camouflage to the rifle, scope, and stock.
My shotgun is a Mossberg 500 and I've seen them fully camouflaged including the magazine tube and bolt. I'm not sure how to apply it to those moving parts.. When I do the scope how do I guarantee paint won't get into the wind-age and elevation knobs? How do I make the coating durable as to hold up against the elements and being used in rough terrain?
If I was to do it, I would prep all of the items at once, and then paint them with duracoat. You can call or email duracoat for a recommendation about color, but would assume that a "sand" color would work well. Also do a google search on duracoat camoflage for desert, and I am sure something good will come up.
You will need tape, duracoat paint (order online), probably some sort of 3m abrasive for roughing up the surface sprayed, an aircompressor and air brush.
