Raster is a grid pattern made of small dots, squares, pixels, you may seen it on older comics, or even on the box art of Silverback products.

I painted a few guns with that pattern with a simple stamping technique.

First you apply a simple base pattern, I used a folded piece of paper to have some contast and straight lines in it.

The result is this geometric pattern, it will already blend pretty well if you choose the right colors to fit you environment you use it.

Next step if choose a fabric you use as a stamp for the pattern. I used bubble wrap for big dots and antislip mat for the tiny dots. Probably everything else would work, which is soft, flexible, picks up paint and has a pattern.

Method is same as painting with sponges, spray some paint in a tray, damp your tool in it and press on the surface. You can use other paints instead of sprays too.

You can blend and layer your colors until you got the results you are after.

I rarely use this F2000, I can not prepare it to a certain season or field, so I applied a generic pattern and color sheme, not too green not to brown, not to grey… Something what looks nice and not a plain color.

If you paint something similar feel free to share.

Have fun!
