RE: To paint or not to paint
You might have all the equipment but are you confident enough in you’re skills to paint a camo pattern. If it was an old gun then heck go for it, but a brand new gun. I know I wouldn’t do it and I have done some fancy painting in the past. To try and duplicate some camo pattern isn’t easy unless you’re just going to spray it on without to much concern on the final job. The end result is that is all up to you. Good luck...
