Default Got bored and Painted my gun

Well i didnt have work today so i got bored and decided to paint my gun. Went to Homedepot and got some rust-oleum specialty paint. they have a few colors that are "camo" color. says it right on the can. first i taped everything off and then i rub the gun down with alky to clean it off. i did a base coat of the lightest color and let it dry. then i did some poke a dots of the darkest color. next i used some branches and fake grass i got at hobby lobby as a form and sprayed it down with a green color. here are some pics. let me know what works and what i need to go over and fix. this was my first attempt so go easy please.

I've been thinking about doing that too, except I was thinking bright yellow with a orange tip. He. He.

Looks sharp....nice work. Does it affect function at all?...disassembling/assembling...clicking in scope and what-not? I guess you won't have to worry at all about rust then, right?

well the tape is still on in those pics here is what it looks like with the bolt in and with the tape off the scope. nope it didnt affect any of the movements that i can tell. the scope click the same because i spent over an hour taping it off. only thing is the bolt isnt as smooth but it iwll be after a few passes

Maybe its just me, but I'm not a fan of painted guns... I'm not saying it doesn't look really good, its just not my taste.
