Black is the least easy color for deer to see, and when they do see it at close range it appears as Grey to them, if your background is the darkened wooded colors or you are in shadows they can't see the black at all, if you are in the open they are least likely to detect black.Cerakote out-performs any competitive thin film coating in both laboratory and real world applications. The colors deer see best are Yellow, Blue, Gray, White, Green - so, for example, if you used the MultiCam pattern colors in this article the deer are more likely to see the rifle because the colors used will reflect light in the middle green wavelength and short blue wavelength ranges (especially the green and FDE colors). Painting the rifle a camo pattern is not going to help at all, any camo pattern to them that does not contain yellow, blue, and/or gray all looks grey to them as does the color black. Their optical system is not sensitive to dark and blaze colors like orange, pink, red and black color and they perceive these colors as yellow or gray. So they can see yellow, blue, and gray colors better than other colors but still very poorly. Seriously? You mean after literally millions of people hunting with "a large all black rifle" over these many many years and bagging all sorts of game your main concern is a rifle that's a color 99% of common game animals can't differentiate anyway?įor example Deer have very limited color vision and can only identify middle green wavelength and short blue wavelength. I opted for a tan color called Marrakechin the Montana 94 can line for the final layer. Final layer of stencils!Īs these stencils are much larger, have them occupy both open space and intersect previous stencils. You’re now going to move on to some of the larger, more complex shapes in your stencil pack. Add Final Stencils and Final Layer of Tan Paint Mine was a sort of sandy khaki greenish color that I had a hell of a time finding in an aerosol.Įventually, I settled on Model Masters Strategic Air Command Tan that Is prayed over the entirety of the gun. Make sure you’re using more of those small, splotchy circles in the pattern for this layer, as well as overlaying at least some of the dark brown stencils over our last layer’s stencils.įrom there, you’re good to move on to the next layer of paint. While some areas are to be left void, get comfortable with making these stencils a little bit more claustrophobic. To me, the darkest layer of brown in MultiCam Arid looks like it generally occupies more space on the gun than the white top layer. Grab the more medium-sized stencils from the same sheet as your sandy white layer and begin laying them down on the gun in a similar manner…with a few key differences, though. Apply Another Layer of Stencils & Add Greenish Paint Spray the whole gun, avoid any buildup or overspray if possible.Īnd then grab those stencils because it’s stencil time once more. This allows us to begin applying the other colors but preserve the white-ish pattern underneath. Apply the darkest coat over the stencils. If this is your first-time using stencils, like it was mine, it might be hard to wrap your head around the concept.īut we’re applying the darker paint over the stencils to protect the white sand layer in the stenciled spots. I used Testor’s Model Masters Light Earth Aerosol for this layer to give it a nice, darker brown color. Next, we’re going to move to our darkest coat.
