chrispti Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Decided that my shooting wagon needed to blend in with the countryside a bit better, so I ordered a tin of matt green NATO paint, popped to halfords to get some sandpaper and set to work After a lot of elbow grease, with a bit of help too (cheers Arfer ) and then a good wash down, the paint went on . . . . . . . . . with a roller She still needs another coat and a bit of toughing up here and there, but all in all the end result was not bad at all Before ; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lampwick Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 After; looks good now why don't you get Ryan aka toolazydecoy to finish it off! There's a challenge I reckon he could diversify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudpatten Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Nice job. If the rollers still got some paint left on it I`m bringing round my Super Nova for a makeover. I`ve decided the Wetlands cammo is just too yellow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
