What is VHT good sir?
Automotive paint for drive trains and engine components. The colors are limited though. I get the burnt bronze at AutoZone. For some reason it looks more good in the pictures.

I love that pattern you did! Not sure what colors you used or how you did it, but like it a lot. Kind of wishing I had one like it now 😆 . I’ve painted one, and I like it, but I do wish it was better.

I used the rustolium camo kaki, brown and green then matte clear coat over it. Theres really no pattern to it I just used a small limb off the oak tree in my back yard and randomly sprayed over it dusting it with the brown from the top down. Think about natural predators like a coyote, dark on the top lighter on the bottom.

Kinda like what he did in this video:
