Finally settled on a camo design for my M1A. Took some time to figure out the pattern I wanted but I'm very pleased with it!GITEN hope you enjoy...

Here is the rifle during the base coat process. It started out as an SAI synthetic OD green. I used automotive bumper etching compound to prep it, then used a degreaser on it, let it dry, and then hit it with Krylon Khaki Camo paint. 3 coats, drying in between.

Here it is after I did the stencil work. I used some artificial grasses from Wal Mart layed over the stock and then misted over them with Krylon matte black camo paint.

Turned out great IMO, and very cost effective!!! $10 total and took maybe a couple of hours in labor.

Nice work. The result far exceeds your budget approach. Interesting use of the Wally World grass.

Looks great and should be effective in various areas. The slotted handguard is snazzy as well.
