Vinyl stencils for gun paint

[greg vess]

Has anybody had any dealings with the sheet style vinyl stencils for painting guns. I want to put a real subtle reptile print on a rifle and I am not sure of how effective they are. All comments welcome.

be careful of the paint running on the vinyl

Never personally used them but Fatal_Bert would be the person to ask. Camo job on my 365 turned out great…..

I have some stencils for a m81 pattern, but haven't tried them yet. For a snakeskin type of effect you can use a mesh laundry bag.

I got some basic stencils off Amazon and used them for an overlay and got good results. These aren't stick ones, just something to hold over the gun and paint through.

Lauer Custom Weaponry has a wide selection of stencils.

Just make your own with blue tape and wax paper. Or just mush paint on like me:

Heck I already purchased enough to do a gun. They are high heat so apparently they stay in while curing in the oven using Durakote. I will give them a shot. I thought you just peel of the stencil and place it over the gun but Noooo! I have to take each little detail out of the stencil and place each one on the gun. Eeeek!
