Midas Welby EZ Camo patterns

[@dr.k_6016]

I never thought of using rigid mesh. I've tried a bunch of things. Basketball hoop, laundry bag mesh.... But I like how the first perforated one has about 50% of the original color remaining. You could do some cool stuff with that texture, and some sponge painting to add branches or leaf-ish features. It turned out cool how you did it. Certainly considering how quick and dirty it is.

[@danielthompson6207]

Brilliant! I'm going to try this on my Mossberg and I'll be adding a layer of grass stencils over the top to round it all out. I saw a couple of people saying the pattern is too consistent and doesn't look natural, but I'm guessing they've never seen hex camo before. Thanks for the great ideas!

[@9992ube]

Circle/Hexigon sub-pattern is excellent. Strips (at 4:40 minutes) breaks up form of gun perfectly and looks good. I've looked all over for round pattern gutter cover everywhere. Do you have any stencil template left?

[@MoltenMetalGod7]

That's an awesome idea. definitely gonna give a try.

[@BransonCerakote]

Nice job! We use all sorts of household items to get different looks in our shop. We sell vinyl stencils, but sometimes easy is just plain easy, lol.

[@MidasWelby]

for sure.! thanks for watching and the comment

[@WolverinePrepper1]

Turned out good. Nicely done. less is more for sure. Well done.

[@northcakoutdoors9091]

Awesome! I have been meaning to paint my rifle. I was maybe going to use a screen to add texture, but I also like to use a piece of evergreen tree to make patterns like I did on my shotgun in my channel banner thing.

[@jimgam730]

Cheap, easy and effective, that's what I like.

[@jfpointblank1801]

I did learn a little something from your videos I appreciate them

[@MidasWelby]

Thanks Jf, ya its not the best work but I mostly wanted to show that it can be easily done without a lot of $$ .

[@SlytigerSurvival]

Pretty cool. I just sprayed mine. I may do some fancy paint stuff soon myself

[@JohnDaniel-x6i]

What did you use for the HEX patter ?

[@MyREDTAIL]

Cool Great Job & ideas also.? Thanks for sharing.

[@MidasWelby]

thankyou for watching

[@livefree5997]

Same lol.

[@buckfoster7346]

I wood

[@kevin6030]

YES

[@scbane]

No primer or basecoat or roughing up the stock?

[@MidasWelby]

if you watched the whole video, i paint the same rifle 3 times, none of them were done to be permanent, the video IS about hoe easy it is to make simple patterns with simple objects. Yes if it was done to be permenant then i would of given the stock a propper prep job, but by not doing it, i was able to clean of the paint easily. Thanks for Your comment.

[@MidasWelby]

hence the name of the video.......

[@raxxtango]

gutter guard - good idea. everything in house is painted except barrel and scope are black.

[@irvwayshort9566]

Youve inspired me to try camo on my 30-06. Im gonna take a while to find my perfect pattern though.

[@MidasWelby]

very cool. ya, sometimes you can use something simple and itll turn out awesome. good luck

[@stefanbecker3217]

Im now tempted to camouflage my dads sawblade

[@seller559]

Awesome! Looks like a snake skin. I`m gonna do this.

[@mikeanderson3762]

Do you flat clear coat ?

[@MidasWelby]

I have before, if all your paints are flat or matte , you could skip the clear coat. This vid was just to show how you could use simple things to make a camo pattern. Thanks for watching

[@ratagris214]

Those rabbits were on a listening post near your home. They had their rabbit ears up for communications and signal intelligence...they're spying on you need to learn you camo pattern secrets.

[@MidasWelby]

there is ALWAYS someone watching,,,,,, trust no one Mr.Mulder

[@blackjack3599]

Do you prefer Rustoleum or Krylon?

[@MidasWelby]

I don't think i have a preference, when I buy it I just make sure it will stick to metal and plastic. Ive even used high temp spray paint that has works well on guns (but they have limited colors). I Do prefer to do it myself and cheap because if you use your rifle its gonna get scratched, and then I can touch it up myself. I wouldn't pay someone $$$ to paint a gun, but that's just me

[@blackjack3599]

@@MidasWelby i'm getting into building my own rifles. And for maybe a few of them. And what my philosophy is with that weapon. I'll paint it. I'm a do it myself guy. And i can cut some lavender branches patterning

[@tacticaloutdoors7553]

I thought for sure at the begining a rabbit was about to get smoked.

[@knight5188]

thinking about trying this never done it before so kinda nervous lol guns ain't cheap...

[@MidasWelby]

its only paint, you can always paint it again, . this was a extrs stock that I used for this video

[@shannonbower47]

Paint is

[@CreachterZ]

Repeating patterns don’t exist in the woods. And since most game animals are color blind, you just created a huge sign for them.

[@aaronmenchinger]

Your an idiot. Patterns don't exist in the woods? Most game animals are color blind? Can you give an example?

[@MidasWelby]

dang it, I forgot to put the knife in there too. aaarrrhhh. oh well. I did a camo job on a buck knife handle too.

[@bhines9928]

What muzzle device is that?

[@MidasWelby]

its been awhile but I think it was a UTG slip on device. it was like 15-20$, I think I got it from Midway USA or cheaper than Dirt

[@theimmortal4718]

I was hoping you were gonna show your car painted that way

[@MidasWelby]

The Immortal Its been a life long dream of mine to drive a camo vehicle, . Once I get my jeep Cherokee on the road again , its gonna get a camo paint job no doubt.. .

[@theimmortal4718]

[@brandonshuler7820]

why do you have an acog on a 22

[@MidasWelby]

it gets moved between my 22s and 556s. I shoot on my property so re-zeroing is nothing.

[@SlytigerSurvival]

That's funny how you list the price

[@MidasWelby]

Slytiger Survival I said it was cheap.

[@brianfronius4166]

Damn dude ! You should practice on a 2x4 (for awhile) before sticking your neck out like that.

[@MidasWelby]

it is a spare stock, I don't use it , thanks

[@garypulliam3740]

Practice? On camo? STFU

[@edpotts9168]

like we need to see the home depot ad for the stencil stuff.. we're not retarded, we know how to buy stuff.. the finished product is way to uniform. if he took some leaves and branches from the yard and did a third coat it would of broke up the pattern and looked awesome.

[@MidasWelby]

thanks for your opinion ED Potts, don't be so serious. this video is just a example of how easy it could be to paint your gun. My only firm belief is that people can camo their firearm for under $25 ,, instead of paying someone hundreds of dollars to do it for them. everyone lives in different areas and they should make the camo match their surroundings if they are trutly trying to go full camo. that's not what this is about. furthermore,,, there are people that don't know what a gutter guard is or where to buy one. did you watch the whole vid? did you notice it took seconds to paint those patterns? did you notice that I painted different patterns on each side of the rifle, then painted over both to show the last pattern? don't be so serious and thanks for watching.have a good day.

[@garypulliam3740]

Horsesh*t... that whole grab a pile of nasty leaves out of the yard is so overdone and so overrated. Finally someone that has a brain of their own.

[@GoonieGooGoo410]

3:17 😂😂😂

[@jamespollard1670]

I like it .

[@kevin6030]

Needs Nother coat to break up the pattern. Far to consistent.

[@MidasWelby]

Thanks. But as u can see I didn't keep any of these ... I'm just trying to get people to try it themselves instead of paying big money for a camo job that will get scuffed up anyway. Unless the gun is a safe queen

[@garypulliam3740]

Hey ... do what YOU need to do. He didnt say you had to stop there. Plus there ARE patterns in nature.

[@rollofire22]

WTF? There are no words for how BAD the paint job is, So now he has a really UGLY gun with dots on it! Was this paint job done by a 2nd grade blind school class?

[@MidasWelby]

hey thanks for the great comment, your awesome !

[@MidasWelby]

check out some of my other videos and see if they suck too.

[@jfpointblank1801]

Midas Welby my question to you is what type of spray paint are you using like what kind should I buy for the synthetic plastic rifle so that it doesn't peel off

[@MidasWelby]

Jf, so far, Ive had the best luck with a Rustoleum spraycan and some from Sherwin Williams. the most important thing is to read the application instructions to make sure the paint bonds to plastic and can handle the elements (outside). next step is to make sure you prep the plastic properly, (light sanding and then clean the surface), then , make sure you give the paint enough time to cure (not dry, but cure). Most of the guys I know, don't bother with the "top shelf" paint like Duracoat , but stay away from the cheap $2 spraypaint. hope this helps ya some
