Professional looking paint job.
So I guess you basically paint it tan to begin with, then use stencils to create the camo pattern?
If you have time post a picture of one of your hand made stencils.

Exactly. I just let the base coat sit for awhile then went in and started the stenciling after it had dried and cured somewhat. I just messed around on cardboard to get the camo pattern/color combo I thought would look best and then went at it. I first went all over with the army camo pattern (black) then the tree bark pattern (brown) and then the grass last. With the stencils all I did was google camo stencils and just take your pick depending on the type of area you hunt. I just printed it off then taped it to a section of poster board and used the x-acto to cut it out. The only ones I hand drew were the tree bark pattern and the army camo. First pic is of the dead grass after the first coat, 1 gallon did the entire boat of two coats with very little left over. The only drawback for going this route is that the posterboard tends to sag over time due to the weight of the paint so I just cut cardboard strips and duck taped to the edges to keep straight.
