I created and painted my own camo on an AR-15. I first stood back and observed the brush and woods I would hunting in and made note of what colors and shades I was seeing. There was a lot of black in there, mainly tree trunks and branches, which appear black from a distance. I started with black AR receiver and furniture, and cut strips of masking tape to form branches, starting about 1/4 inch wide and tapering to points. Once I had all my branches laid out I shot the whole thing with 3 different shades of tan, reddish tan, and brown. Then I cut leaf shapes out of tape and laid them out all over the gun. Then shot the whole thing with white. I wanted a winter camo. Pic below.
