Got my Pardner painted up!

Hey guys. I finally got my shotgun painted up. Pretty simple paint scheme. Gotta do some touch up work around the grip areas and the picture.

No, I just hunt in the snow and all that cold stuff, so I wanted a gun to match it....Didn't wanna pay $250 for a paint job. Spent $20 on paint and primer

I agree, but I don't hunt in snow. Different strokes for different folks.

Fade, while it did look okay black, black isn't really an uncommon gun color. Sure I could have gone with a normal camo scene or something along that line, but I wanted a gun that doesn't blend in with all the others in the world
