Well It's more of a camoflauge color so it goes with the paint on the gun and I play woods ball so it keeps me hidden, the gloss black reflected the sun and it stuck out like a sore thumb. If you like it and would like to do it to yours pm me and I can give you instructions on how to do it.

Also I may start getting more seriouse about my painting, prolly get an airbrush and start painting my guns. Does anyone know of anygood airbrushs for cheap. Thanks.

I'd like to know how to do this, for some reason I'm in love with that color. Maybe give me instructions?

Looks kinda cool. The bullet shells are a little dramatic though.
