    Ugly Kimber hunters new paint job

    Got sick of the ugly brown a while ago and painted the stock black, eventually got sick of the ugly black so found some dulux granite effects paint at bunnings so gave that a go. It flicks out black and grey textured chunks of plasticy rubbery stuff which i then clear coated over. Pretty happy with how it turned out! Name:  20240524_094748.jpg

    Yea mate looks nice. I did similar with mine a few years ago. Still holding up pretty well but could do with another coat now.

    Even with the 2 pack clear it didnt handle wet weather and abrasion, back to the drawing board for the ugly plastic duckling Name:  20240602_141924.jpg
