Very cool! Looks like a killin' machine!
Is there a specific type of spray paint that works best?

anything flat should work. What u see in the pic is the krylon brand ultra flat camo. this one turned out so good i did my muzzleloader too. I like the way the rifle turned out more but still not bad. We've all seen some pretty butchered camo attempts.

had a fella pm me about the card board strips and pattern. So here's another pic. Turned out so good i kept the strips for next time. Cardboard is the the tops of a couple shoe boxes. My wife has so many of those around i figured she wouldn't notice and she hasn't.
Just drop the strips in random patterns between paint coats. Measuring device added for size which is random as possible.
