Step 5

The next step is the darkest color. I know, we always learn light to dark no matter what. Here is the method to my madness: The Sand Dune and the Brown are the two LEAST occuring colors in a woodland environment, therefore they constitute the base of the weapon, everything goes on top of them so they do not dominate the color scheme, just watch and you will see what I mean.

I used Krylon Ultra Flat "Brown 8142" and made vertical stripes, why vertical? at the level that the average man walks, most brown occurs in a vertical pattern, and when he is in the prone this is especially true.

If you get excessive overspray from the brown and you feel it is washing out your tan, then give a quick stripe of tan to cover the affected areas.

In camouflage there are two types of patterns: striping and spotting. What I have found is that a combination of the two works best, with the striping underneath the spotting, much like looking at a bush or tree, the leaves dominate the branches underneath.
