Long Range Shooting, How To Paint a Rifle

[@dobrzpe]

that is an incredible job! the use of the sponges REALLY brought out depth/texture to that paint job. gonna have to try it out!

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

Sponges are bad ass! Hope your attempt is successful, post it up and tag us✌️

[@alexanderroybal3311]

Should look into Brownells alumahyde for painting rifles. Very good stuff.

[@lance737capt]

Best paint job I’ve seen yet. Very well done!!🤛🤛

[@2steedaq]

Very nice sir!

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

Thank you!

[@Bill-rs1zm]

Really enjoyed the video very nice paint job thanks for the inspiration. Only one gripe the music is really bad

[@tylertapp131]

Good stuff, I use the same paint, brown, tan, od green and sage green is normally what I use. I dig that yellow you added in I'll have to look for that one. I've never done the sponge technique but thought about tryin it. I normally do base layer tan, then thrown in some stripes of brown and od green and do spots with the sage green spread out. Then I'll drape a sniper veil over it and hit it with spots and stripes of eact color, moving the veil after each color until desired effect. It's worked out pretty good for me and I've had alot of dudes ask me to do it with a few of their guns.

[@dsimone8333]

Looks like a wrap, amazing work sir!

[@degvello21]

Thank you so much for detailed video.

[@jerryrichards8172]

Nice ❤

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

Thanks 🔥

[@ogenmiller]

Получилось очень хорошо. Спасибо за видео! 👍

[@alec7283]

This has to be the best rattlecan/sponge job I’ve ever seen! My Bergara is about to get it!

[@Alberta_MTN_Bear]

How’d it come out!?

[@jayboogie27]

Looks gooood!!

[@azbogivediglagoli4759]

Is the Krylon better than RustOleum?

[@taylorwaddell3546]

Does anyone know what brand/colour the yellow was?

[@nikolaijavier9478]

What colors did you use for this rifle?

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

Several of the Krylon Camo options. I can’t remember exactly which colors they were.

[@jameswoody2011]

Protects his hands and not his lungs. Nice!

[@slowmo7500]

Haha. “Protect your hands, not your lungs. Be a man.”

[@CRracer52lfd]

Wow really....I think some people just crave attention.

[@ScottPriestley]

Caylen, tell me about that rifle vise on your bench.

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

Sorry for the late reply here Scott, but it's a Grizzly Pattern Maker's Vise.

[@SSgtBlueUSMC0369]

I see that flag back there. 1st Recon?????

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

It's the Recon Sniper Foundation flag, I was a Scout/Sniper with 1st Marines.

[@dhayes1995]

By far the best diy spray can job!

[@dylanunrau7692]

No laundry bag pattern?? You sure you have military time hahah

[@alec7283]

Anyone know what color yellow he’s using? Can’t find a matte yellow anywhere..

[@hogprobs5229]

So I decided to do this to one of my hog hunting rifles. Turned out great! Super easy. In fact, this is the easiest method to paint a rifle that I’ve done so far.

[@JEJAK5396]

Picked up some Aervoe at the Outdoor Store, going to do a Rhodie Camo job, but different.

[@anthonyluisi7096]

This is the best video I have seen on camo for a rifle👍🏻

[@nicsu2128]

That looks fantastic! I thought you were joking when you were talking about painting your action bolt and barrel. But it came out fine I guess. I feel like the paint would rub off the bolt and inside the action and get down in your trigger and such.

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

Thank you! The paint does rub off, but it doesn't flake. If you had a bead blaster you could mask n blast your barreled action to have better paint hook-up. Not had issues with paint getting into triggers.

[@magwamagwa45110]

need to paint that scope it really stands out now..... awesome paint job.....barrel and suppressor as well ...

[@dr.k_6016]

Cool video--I really appreciate your going into proper spray technique. Ie not hosing it down in one clip. Nice dusty, light coats is the way to go! Nice finished product.

[@lauraburandt2655]

What is the yellow/gold color you used? I would like to add a touch of that to my paint job as well, I just don’t want to get too yellow.

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

Krylon Camouflage Khaki

[@bordersoldier]

Nice flag my father was force recon in Vietnam

[@garrettstraffon608]

Wow I think this is the best one I’ve seen so far. But I wish you would have showed the steps better you kinda went from not looking that good to looking really good, be nice to no if you did sponge some kaki back in or not

[@thoughtgun101]

Outstanding!

[@DCSuperShine]

Man that looks sweet!!! Keep the great content coming!!!

[@dr.z6601]

Killer paint job! I like the look of the sponge accents to break things up, I think ill try that when I paint my AR. Thanks for the great video!

[@Levathian1]

Best paint job ive seen in my life !!!! Really amazing! well done!

[@09rg]

Nice job good tips. Thanks.

[@russellhammac7179]

Excellent job!! Did you use all of the colors that you sprayed on again to sponge? Thank you!

[@JTFD821]

Great video. Just turn the music down a bit 😳 super annoying to have to turn it up to hear you and down during the music lol

[@MichaelKwong-x5z]

That paint job looks great 100%!!

[@tylerdooley4783]

Thanks for the video, Caylen. It got me inspired to paint my bare carbon stock today! Followed what you did and it turned out great! I also wanted to thank you for being professional and respectful in the video about culling mountain goats in GTNP. It was a sore subject in the state and still is. Hopefully, bighorns will be able to move back into the main cirques of the Tetons again. Cheers!

[@thomasteac8919]

That looks really good.

[@TRDauddie]

Is the orangeish/yellow looking color the krylon woodland light green?

[@snakes5506]

Came out very nice, love the look.

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

Still strong too!

[@Man-qr9by]

One of the best paint jobs on KZbin

[@jeffwerner1291]

Great job bud... it came out great 👍🏼. I've been thinking about doing 1 or 2 of mine. I'm really curious about how more durable is it by adding the flat clear coat to protect it? Appreciate your feedback. Once great gob, it came out excellent

[@SuperBsk2010]

Do you need to bake the barrel or let the paint on the barrel sit for a few weeks? Just wondering, i know bolt actions dont usually get as warm as other firearms

[@FW-od1lt]

Paint job is awesome! Are you not a fan of painting the scope? The scope stands out like a sore thumb!

[@BattleGn0me]

i built my rifle around a SS remington 700 short action and 5r 24" barrel and a fixed 10x scope. I just used the camo spray with no clear and a piece of 550 cord and leaves to mask. I dont think cerokote is the way to go for a mil-style tacitcal rifle. .308 is still a good choice, imo especially with a stainless barrel.

[@corylarson9952]

Well this video earned my subscription, good lookin paint job man , thanks for the video, I'm gonna try this

[@hspratt3]

How has the Clear held up. Wondering if it's worth adding?

[@Let_The_World_Burn]

Came out amazing, video isnt detailed enough but the end product looks incredible.

[@CRracer52lfd]

I just seen this video. Dang bro that turned out very nice. Great job!!!

[@willis45acp]

noticed your stainless steel barrel, I also have a fluted stainless one. Did you do any special prep on the stainless steel barrel before painting? I'd like to know so if I need to prep I can.

[@02Crimson]

great video. working on my own. question, why paint the black portion where scope sits on rail? you could tape it and not have to re zero your gun?

[@ltbassaddict8184]

I need to know what that light brown color is called!

[@lauraburandt2655]

There are a couple good sponge paint jobs on KZbin, but this is the best end product I’ve seen so far! I think how you did a base coat and the splotches before the sponging made a big difference! It looks dipped!

[@MODERNDAYSNIPER]

Appreciate the comment!

[@fusionxp]

Thats a sick paint job. Good work fella

[@Jlui83]

Did you have to let it completely dry before apply the clear coat?

[@frontrowprecision7135]

Hi Caylen, what is the spec on that rifle?

[@semper7717]

Nice video. Just got the DD Delta 5 Pro (6.5 Creedmoor) and was wondering what you recommended for a suppressor.

[@andrewwaldron9425]

Dead AIr Nomad 30

[@jamesdavis6397]

Great video and love the way it turned out.

[@DB-oz2ki]

Looks great, can't understand why the barrel and scope were not done?

[@kevinh4631]

It makes it look more like a factory done job that way, if the scope and barrel are painted too it takes away that factory “look” to it.

[@sambenge9140]

Looks great

[@michaelhallinan532]

looks great!

[@mr.nobody68]

Wanna do my Bergara?

[@fuse557]

I can't

[@garysheldon5133]

LOOKS GREAT !

[@Charlie-zy1hg]

Great looking paint job. Just curious, why no camo paint on the barrel and suppressor?

[@Gripmagic]

Paint on a suppressor will cook off and smoke

[@Charlie-zy1hg]

@@Gripmagic - Thanks for the clarification. I never thought about the heat being generated.

[@timdixon4883]

turned out very cool

[@swyang68]

Beautiful!

[@marcosablan]

Watched this like 4 times in a row. Definitely using this method after seeing the outcome. Was going for "Battle worn" but definitely want to do this first. Thanks

[@petemarshall254]

What with the HORRIBLE NOISE they call music in all these videos? Had to mute!! MUSIC sucks

[@raxxtango]

Unbearable noise

[@freshbox6228]

No one ever post like a detail video of it when it’s completely painted

[@PRIMAL_HUNTER1988]

he is spraying inside the place gahahahaha
