Hi guys,

When i bought my Howa 1500 i wanted it in a camo paintjob but the shop told me it had to be blue or stainless. I went with stainless but have since begun to hate stainless finishes on rifles.

How hard is it or what is the process of having the rifle painted in camo? It surely can't be as easy as simply spray painting it because i imagine that would flake and peel pretty fast.

Are there products out there for this?

Has anyone done a good job of this before?
