Ok, so what I done was used free select under tools and done an outline on the handguard, then I went and selected paint tools and then used bucket fill, then I went back and used the brush to try and paint it in solid, because bucket fill made it look like it was splattered.
Thank you so much for doing this, it really does give me an idea of what looks good before I cerakote. the painting i have no issue with, I'm just not good at coming up with color combinations that look good together that aren't your basic camo patterns.
I'm going to keep practicing using Gimp and you tube it a lot to learn it, I've had that program on my PC for a while, just never learned to use it.
Again, thank you! You guys rock by taking time out of your day to do stuff like this!!!
Here is one of my finished projects!
