For me, when painting camo, I like to use the rattle cans to do the outlines before flling in with the color. The fan tips on the the cans can be tricky doing the outlines without making a mess of your pattern. Here's a tip...... If you take a razor blade and carefully shave down the raised triangles next to the spray opening on the tip it will shoot a round spray rather than a fan spray. This will make outlining the camo pattern easier for a less experienced painter. Then you can fill in the pattern with the fan tips. Hope this helps somebody out there.

Yup........ I use gillespie, I buy it in rattle can and by the gallon for spraying. Just another quick tip........To save some money, buy rattle cans of KRYLON flat black it is a perfect match.

What I have learned from a master rattle can painter, bulldogmack13.... for the black use a Rust-Oleum flat black enamel in a tall silver can at Lowes. Used along with Brown and Green 383 from RAPCO. nov 11.2012 005.jpgnov 11.2012 017.jpg
