To start wipe the entire gun down with Windex this removes all the oils that would keep the paint from sticking. Mask all parts of the gun that you dont want painted. In this case I masked off the triger area the slingswivel studs the tang and saftey I removed the bolt and taped off the whole area to make sure that paint didnt get into this are and the chamber but you could leave it in and just mask over the bolt body. I also masked off the lenses on the scope the variable power adjustment ring and taped off the muzzel.
After the gun was preped I suspended the rifle from one of the studs in the basement and gave it an even coat of the tan as a primer and let it dry for 30min I repeated this twice more so that it had a good base coat before I started putting on the other colors. After the last prime coat I let it dry over night.
The next day I started in with the brown, black, and green I sprayed ruffly three inch wide strips green then brown then black( but you could do it any order you want) starting at one end and worked all the way down the gun (vertical stripes when the gun is in a firing position) dont worry about making it pretty at this point over spray is no big deal. After This step I let it dry for 2 days to let the paint cure. The last step is the easyest I want out in the yard and pulled several handfulls of long grass stalks layed the rifle on a sheet of plywood I then layed the grass over the rifle from muzzle to but. Then take the can of tan paint holding about 12'' away and spray the gun in one sweeping motion from muzzel to butt let sit for 20 minutes flip the rifle over to the other side and repeat. The grass creats a shadow effect by keeping the tan from covering the under lying colors.
You can use what ever you want for the overlay on the enfield I used tomato bush branches and used black paint as the final instead of the tan.
Enjoy
When I get the next gun done I will post step by step pic's to show what I am talking about.
Jeremy -
Thank you for the step by step. This is pretty-much the same process I used last year when making the "pink rifle" for my daughter. I took the action out of the .22 bolt gun, and sanded the stock smooth, reshaping it to what I wanted for her. I removed the bolt, taped off chamber and muzzle, and then applied a nice coat of flat white to both the action/barrel and the stock, to act as a base. This was very important with the stock, since it was going to be bright pink. I let that dry for a couple days - I wanted it to cure really good. I then started with numerous very light coats of the colors - pink for the stock and a hammered silver for the barrel/action, scope and rings. On the stock I think I did six coats; the metal got two. The whole thing also got a clear coat on top.
You are really giving me the itch now. I have an EBR which isn't really "black" - kind of a mix of grays that don't really look good. I've been thinking about sending it out to be done in an Amstripe pattern. Now you got me thinking that I might try this at home. Think the Krylon would hold up on a AR-15 type gun?
I was also thinking about another .22 bolt action - using textured spray paint for the stock. May have to check out my local shop to see if they have another "restoration special"!
I may not find it again.
