[QUOTE="hercdrvrwo, post: 317692, member: 11885"] What I do is this -- just like you, I used Gallon cans of Paint and hand paint it on after I put on a primer. Remember to get a flat primer (seems weird but some that say flat actually have some shine to it). Then I use Rattle Cans, PVC Pipe & Leaves/branches from the yard....I start with my lightest colors first tans, then move onto hunter greens (even if my boat is green -- it adds depth) then browns (same thing) and blacks. I typically use a big oak leaf or fern for my blacks and am very conservative with black-- too much and it turns into a dark hole, creates too much contrast. Finally I do one more light round with pine needles for a tan again -- depth! This also happens to be the technique taught at survival school and most other schools. Next time you have a few extra bucks, pick up a rattle can of Walmart special flat black and the check it out against Parker's black...when you hold it up to the light -- you'll see a shine on the Walmart flat black and nothing on Parkers! BL: Its good Stuff! Cheers Herc [/QUOTE]
