first painting attempt

I did this using the rust-oleum paint since they didn't have any Krylon using Dark Green as the base and Khaki as the secondary, finishing with a touch of the light olive for some minor touches

They look great. Try with a different coating next time though. It is a bit light.

ugh I just noticed something, I think I need to apply a final layer of clear, because some water dripped on the mask and it smudged a little....not good.

The smudges might actually make the camo more effective. Hey, it could happen. Smiling

Looks nice, Box. Were you going for a lighter camo?

I play in the desert, but it is a little lighter than had been hoped for

Awesome. Thanks.

Maybe you could do a tutorial on how to create custom camouflage jobs for gear and such in an article?
