I would leave it as is, looks great. One of the biggest mistakes most do with camo, including most commercial patterns, is darken it and ruins it in practice and creates dark blobs that are more visible to game. Yours will look perfect in the wild

Sweet. Thanks man. Now, for the rest of the saddle.... can’t wait for that to show up. In the mean time I told my son if he stood still long enough I’d paint him. Hahahah.

Well, I had to come back to this to remind myself of the process for my trail cam solar battery project.

I decided to paint my predator platform, my camera base and arm, and my carabiners. I wanted to play around with the sponge method and I was very impressed with how it turned out. Decided to post them up on here for discussion and to see what everyone thinks of it. I used a gray primer as a base, then brown, then dabbed on black then green then gray. Still need to see what it looks like during day light but I believe it will look great
Found the list of colors.
