I'm going to have an over under stock and forearm dipped in greenleaf
Looking to do barrels in a tanish or brown color that would look good with greenleaf
Anyone have any pictures of anything they have done similar?

Here is my little 301. My guy custom mixed and matched the brown in the green leaf to cerakote. I like it much.

Sorta greenish brown? My 20 is close to that probably.
I may got dark tan or desert tan?
This is my 20 and the 28ga I'm going to do. Stock forend will be same greenleaf (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240608/791e56ca7423507bc5b3ae2c5c93da51.jpg)

Nice. I really like cerakote.
I can't resize pictures to fit on this forum so if you'd like to see pics of my 870 pm me your phone number.
I had the stocks done in Greenleaf with burnt bronze Ceracote. I have seen pics of guns with the midnight burnt bronze and they look nice.
Wchad who is dipping your gun?

That's what I ended up going with. OG bottomland and midnight bronze
When it gets done I'll post a pic

Carolina Graphics. Greenleaf dip and O.D. Green cerecote.
They do a fabulous job. Take it down to bare metal/plastic. Use proper primer which is hugely important to get true colors.
This gun, in every detail, looks like a factory dip!

They certainly do!
You hear everybody raving about one outfit or another but I KNOW some of them just cover whatever is on your gun and they don't use the recommended primer, trying to save a few bucks.
This outfit is the real deal!
Oh and yours looks great too!

what pattern dip is that? I like it.
Tad is the man. He has done 3 guns for me and his work is better than any factory camo dip or cerakote I have seen.
They all look great!
The pattern on the gun i posed is the "new" shadow leaf found on nomad clothing

that really looks like the spring woods to me. Nice choice. I might get my old rattle can camo sp-10 dipped in that.

Patriot Brown Cerakote/Greenleaf
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm putting together an 870 youth to turkey hunt with and pass along to my grandson at some point, and I had it cerakoted patriot brown. It actually looks better with the laminate stock that I thought it would, but I think it'll look better when I get the synthetic stock hydrodipped camo.

I have been debating on sending the wood off to be camo dipped or just leaving it like it is.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20241217/a5bb6839bab03b13d6d4654ce26f7758.jpg)
Any ideas one way or the other.

Yes. With Sumtoy chokes it shoots great. Factory chokes are pretty good
It's not a youth model. I cut about an inch and a half off the stock and put on a limbsaver butt pad
I'm probably going to start hunting with 28. Youth 20 is a little shorter barrel
Not sure what they cost now but I got these guns for $400 each so good gun for the $$

Yeah. The youth 20 kicks pretty good with heavy loads since it's so light.
If you haven't already get the limbsaver. It helps a lot.
28ga doesn't kick as hard but I would still do the limbsaver on it. I had the stock on my 28 cut down about 1 1/2 inches so my son had good LOP on it and put a limbsaver on it
