GentlemanJim Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 This was my very first attempt to print patterns on an AR15 reciever set You learn a bunch on the first time out I chose a snake skin pattern over two base coats, one in silver...one in a brown/gold metalic These pics are without the top clear coat...and they have some flaws Oh well...good enough for a test rifle for ME Comments, good or bad are welcome Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I think it looks good. It's out of focus pretty badly, however the background stuff is really clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I like it. How do you get both sides? Are they done at separate times or all at once ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 I like it. How do you get both sides? Are they done at separate times or all at once ? First try was both sides at once..the film didnt exactly cooperate Masking and printing one side at a time seems to be the better way, the film will over print getting ready to clear coat Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle O Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I like it, good job. I expect my stuff to have some flaws, it brings out the humanity in a reptile skin covered AR reciever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyinBlue Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Sweetheart....I told you it works much better when you hit the macro button. But, if you are closer than 4 inches you need to hit it again for super macro. Nice pics nice finish....but the shop stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Nice job, Jim! Although, I hate snakes! The paint on the Vette looks good in the backround. Kathie approves of the finish, snakes, and most of all the Vette! Edited January 7, 2011 by Dan Sierpina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUBL Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I do think this is the up and coming thing for 3 gun.....I want bricks and mortar, to give it that urban camo look!! Good job on the first atempt!! Can't wait to see other patterns. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this where we can make jokes about Jim being used to using things under 4 inches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Nice! OK, since that is done now I want that finish on mine AND a picture of the car in the background of that first photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
