thanks for the comments... again... I just used the standard colors in my paint program, & would be using "normal" camo colors in the painting of the gun, I'm just trying to get an idea of pattern, & relation to grip & gun after painted, the gun & grips would be clear coated in matt clear, & I'm sure I'll have to polish out any metal to metal contact points

& that is my 2nd attempt at doing this, the AR, I pretty much copied the pattern on the gun, this one is all freehand... as I refine the pattern, I'll import some more normal camo colors...

all the work involved in doing the gun, maybe I'm better off just parkerizing or some other non thickness corrosion resistant coating on the gun, & just adding a couple blaze orange stripes on the plastic ??? keeping it just flat black & blaze orange
