| |  heat
will the heat of the shot do anything to the paint over time?
It seems like airbrush paint would scratch off easy too?

Joel the signman,
I know this is an old thread but I'm going to try to resurrect it...I actually found it via a google search. Did you ever do this? If so, could you post some pics. I was thinking about having my Browning 300 win mag camo dura-coated, but then started thinking that I'd really like to do the same to a shotgun and a crossbow. So, instead of paying someone $2-300 for doing one gun, I might put that into a gun and compressor and learn on the crossbow and shotgun before I tackle might favorite.
So, if you've got any suggestions or tips, please share them as well...especially on buying equipment...what brands to look for, etc...
Thanks!

thats cool i did it but i didnt want to strip the original paint/bluing off the gun.Its still camo'd after all this time but some areas on the receiver the paint is wearing off and you can see the black underneath.Everything else looks good.I did it with a airbrush and model paints.I made stencils of oak leaves and over sprayed them onto a base coat.Since i was forced to do this inside i dint go as heavy as i would have liked too.Let me think about it this some more and i'll get back to you.It wasnt hard to do and i would say go for it.i do remember that you have to dis assemle the gun and mask off all areas where ya dont want paint to go

Awesome! Thanks! I appreciate any help. I just started thinking about paying $300 for one gun, and figured I'd learn myself for about that much and be able to do 2-3 of my guns...granted it won't be as good as if done professionally, but if I can get some practice, I could pick up some money on the side too. I know some friends that would already be interested.
Thanks bud!
