looks cool, but did you use gloss paint?

Awesome paint job,  Does look a bit to glossy, may want to hit up a flat clear coat to take out that shine.

i think i might have, i do need to de-shine it but im not quite shure how :/ and thanks!!

You might try a medium grade steel wool... Just lightly scrub the paint in long strokes down the length of the gun.  Don't press too hard or the whole paint job might get ruined.  Still, in gloss paint, the paint itself is the problem, there is no guarantee that the gloss will go away.  In the future you'd probably be better off with a semi-flat, ultra-flat or satin paint.

I'm not sure your gun will stand out, but it very well might look like a plastic plant among actual foliage.

Still, pretty sweet pattern... One of the main tricks however is to layer different types and shapes of material in order to add depth to the camo... If you'll notice, on my gun there is the illusion of sticks, twigs, brush, leaves and even shadows.

Just go get the FLAT GLOSS CLEAR Spray paint....It should get you the look you want and need.

thanks a ton on the tips, and i tried to lair it but that doesnt work out so well on a windy day and your using small sticks haha its not too shiny in real life(the flash was on) so i dont think it should be all that bad but i still will do what y'all said to take some extra precautions, thanks again!!
