Mainframe/ Riser Colour Option Opinions Needed

Post by paulaboutform »

I just bought myself another 405 but it's got camo limbs and stock and a grey rail and riser. No biggie but I'll be doing a couple small mods then stripping, polishing and anodizing them. I've done many and I know the black looks great as does forest green. I'd like to do something different this go around and just wanted some ideas from you all. I want the riser and mainframe the same color and the color must be solid. Thanks for any input.

I’m thinking like a deep burnt orange or a dark blood red.

Hmmmm, I hadn't even thought of that. I think the dark burnt orange would look pretty good. I was thinking maybe the tan sort of colour you see in the desert digital camo patterns. ???? .......Thanks GK.

If burnt orange looks somewhat brown, I'll vote for that!

Black is beautiful!!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Burnt orange gets my vote but on the brown side .
I have been fixing up my bird houses this month and have been painting them burnt orange with green roofs I like the look.

Gaston's orange hurts my eyes and brings up horrible repressed memories. :lol: ....but I will be checking out the burnt orange if it's an option.
