mel b3 Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Hiya guys. I've got an old .410 that I want to vinyl camo wrap . Has anyone ever done it ?, and did it last ?. It's not worth getting dipped , and I'm not keen on camo tape. Thanks in advance guys 👍. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob85 Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I managed to use like a camo duct tape on my remington 597, actually looked OK til eventually I got fed up with the look of it. Was a pain in the hoop to remove all the residue afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a pain in the hoop to remove all the residue afterwards I've seen the camo gorilla tape . I just wanted something a little more permanent, to avoid the sticky mess . I imagine that the tape would soon start to move if the gun was being carried on a warm day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 remove all the metal work ...use thinners and wire wool to degrease all the wood.....prespray with a rattle can.....then spray with olive drab 2 or 3 coats let it dry in the UV of the sun and re-assemble it...should look quite smart !! ??

Just to expand on that you just reminded me, ever see the mark Wahlberg film Shooter? He does it well where he uses rattle cans and grabs leaves to use as masking to give the realtree type camo pattern on his sniper rifle. I had considered it on my remington as its now just a boring grey plastic stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted May 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I sprayed an old mossberg 500 years ago . It looked great , but after a few hours walking the fields on a warm day , the paint around the pistol grip would start to get soft and sticky , and looked and felt awful . I eventually stripped it ( made a right mess) and put it back to original condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
