The basis for the off-season project is an 870 Express with a worn finish and stripped wood.
Low-budget is the word. I'm not a serious duck guy, but might go some next season when the dog is trained. It's easy enough in some places east of here.
My thought is to ditch the wood, replace it with camo plastic.
On the metal, though, with that rough, rust-prone finish, I'd like to put some paint or coating to make the gun blend in the brush a little better and protect it against surface rust at least to a degree.
Anyone ever use RustOleum Camo paint in a rattlecan on a gun? Blasphemy? Heat problems?
Or should I go with Dura-Coat or something?
What about on a black plastic stock? If I want to just camo the whole thing myself, will anything stick to plastic reliably?
