Dexterboyz Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 the tape works ok but sometimes leaves a small deposit of white glue on the rifle when taken of, comes of in seconds with a little solvent tho, for the best result if ya dont mind a permanent finish and you av gor a spare £300 the get it sent to hydrographics!

Bluebarrels Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hydrographics is good but very costly a much cheaper option is camo-clad easy to apply,waterproof and fade resistant i had it on a air rifle for 5 years and when removed it was still in A1 condition Much better option than painting your rifle i did a shotgun with it a while back,search it in craft and diy section and if you dont like it its easily removed and leaves no residue PM turbo33 hes selling it and for £20 posted you will get more than enough to cover your rifle :good: BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well post has arrived and I have just used Jake pyke stealth tape on my silencer, barrel, and cheek piece. Looks good but that's not what I bought it for!! (I bought it to protect the blueing).

barrelsniffer Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) I always use bit of scrim and the jack pyke lose leaf strips..wrap around and add a few elastic bands to hold it job done, shame this stuff wasnt around when i was in army..as in pic below...just make sure action is free..

kent Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Cammo as a paint or coating is less effective than scrim etc. Breaking up the edges is what truely hides an object. Many mamals cant even descern colour correctly and it takes a lot to fool a crow at airgun ranges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dammit301 Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 http://www.##############/?page=show-item&item=390 brilliant stuff. did up my stoeger x20 a year back. took it off to stick wetland camo on instead. there wasnt a single mark of scuff. highly recommend it - cheap , reliable and will make that much more invisible :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyElectro Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I just use jack Pyke camo tape, sticks to itself and not your gun so leaves not marks or residue and then my Scrim scarf over the top when prone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterjester Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 How many rolls of the Jack Pyke camo tape does it take to cover your rifle and bottle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutaldeluxe Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Well its my first post here, have used the forum for reference in the past and as the forum seems really good decided to join, am not to techy either. well I find camouflage pretty fascinating, I've just painted my bsa spitfire stock scope and silencer, decides not to paint the barrel and workings of the rifle, I just wrap this with a camo scalf and bands to hold in place. I'm happy with the finish, just need to matt lacquer what I've painted and I'm ready to get back out on the hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 The camo tape is good but soon wears through, and needs to be removed if it gets wet, as it soaks water up and will trap moisture like a sponge. I have now painted my stock dark green and the action matt black, its a working tool not a fashion item! As above, long strips of scrim/camo net wrapped loosely round the rifle/scope and hat & gloves works best for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brutaldeluxe Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Cheers wharf rat, the stencils/templates are all my own work, painstakingly cut with a craft knife. Its basically strip your stock, prime with a good grey primer, wire wool it, spray base colour (lightest colour). Apply templates covering approx 40%. Spray secondary colour (woodland green) cover another 40% with templates. Spray final colour (brown) which covers remaining 20%. I left each coat a week to properly cure, all I have to do now is spry with a non reflective matt lacquer. Its a fairly simple process, just time consuming. But if you're going to do a job you may as well do it properly. I'm working on producing some template packs if the interest is there. Ill try and get some half decent photos together and start a new thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wharf Rat Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Look forward to reading the new thread if you can set one up. The finish is very professional - shows what patience can acheive. My daughter is pestering me to try doing hers now she has seen your pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutaldeluxe Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Well its not just a fashion accessory lol, it hides really well, I'm not a great fan of the realtree/photo realistic camo, don't reckon the breakup works as well in all conditions. Sound, I'm sure you'll do a good job, much experience with paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
