What did you do? Paint them with heat paint?

No.

Prep shiney slick stainless surfaces by sanding with 100 grit sandpaper and then degrease with acetone.

Then apply oil-base "Machine" or "Tractor" paint {brush on, available at most hardware stores} mixed 50/50 by volume with talc {not corn starch} baby powder to dull it and toughen it. Some batches require a bit of paint thinner. Camo by daubing with wads of crumpled paper towel.

For olive drab, mix a very small spot of black to a can of yellow.

Wears like iron and doesn't wash off when gun solvents get on it like barbeque black does.

A guy can see a bare stainless rifle from a thousand yards in my big hayfield. Easy to lose one of these camo'd jobs in even mowed grass at 20!

I wonder how many doubles will get this treatment???
