That is exactly the look I am wanting for my new Tikka T3 light. Thanks for the beta, I may try it on my wife's rifle 1st in a different color to get the technique down. Nice job.

Did you apply multiple coats and did you put a flat clear coat on top to seal it ?......Thanks, guys. It was a fun little project.
Zach, I ended up using Duplicolor Self-etching primer and Rustoleum Multi-colored Texture (Desert Bisque). I was going to go with standard Rustoleum primer, but am glad I switch to the Duplicolor stuff.
I doubt it had a lot to with getting this bear, but it looked good doing it. :hump:
I really like this I am about to start a project and that is the exact color I was looking at using. My build has a stainless barrel and action alsoI recently aquired a really nice shooting Winchester M70 in 300 WSM that is going to become somewhat of a project rifle for me (thanks to a great Hunttalker). This was actually my intent when started out with my .260 build last spring; which quickly got away from me, and turned into a custom build.
This weekend I had some free time on my hands, and thought I should start working on some of this DIY stuff, and maybe refinishing the stock might be fun. After work friday, I stopped and picked up some supplies. I decided to go with a paint designed for refinishing old metal patio furniture, as it shoulld be pretty tough, and had a nice silica sand texture to it and gave kind of a speckletone finish. I also got some primer that worked on composites to improve the durability. The next step is going to be working the trigger, and the plan will be to try and tip over a bear with it in a month or so.:hump:
Anyway here are some pics:
