| i dont really like the camo color of your gun. i like the dark green camo, but otherwise you did a great job painting it. |

I chose the colors based on the predominant colors and terrain in Phoenix Arizona and surrounding deserts , but the camera made it seem a bit more orange-ish than it is in full daylight , Thanks for the comment !! ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore .

ROFL , Going to do EXACTLY that , said so in the post, He-he , something like a full-length fabric barrel condom, havent figured out how to keep it in place yet tho , I am so lazy I woulda gone with camo tape , but after looking and driving to every sporting goods store with-in 15 miles , I put that idea on the back burner for now . Mostly , I play speed-ball in a local arena with my wife , so for now shiny isnt a big deal, but Yeah , I Really need to do something with that ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore .

I know the colors aint everybody's idea of typical camo , but will get some pics of it in the deserts around here, Also , I would NOT recommend doing what I did , I put a Waterbased Varathane satin clearcoat over a Baked enamel paint(oilbased) , and almost had a major problem before I got it into curing oven , the water started to penetrate into the flat enamel paint ,, BIG chance I took , and still holding breath as far as durability , time will tell,, ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore .
