Thread: DIY Tactical Paint Job for Marlin

Paint never "flaked" off which shows how well it adheres to the metal, i never thought it looked shit even when it started to wear.

The Tikka came up mint and yes, I even painted the scope. Was a little fiddly as I left the rings on and had to 'cut' in on the edges. Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6, think Marty Henry bought it off me?

Nice one Sasquatch, that's where I'm heading on the stock, I may get our resident Cerakote man to do the barrel so it's weather tight.
Nice execution on the finish. The dark green matt finish looks sharp.
