Hiding my guns

I don't mean hiding my guns in case of a government takeover or zombie apocalypse.  Rather, two of my most-used guns are the same as they came from the factory long ago, with stained wood stocks and blued steel/alloy parts.  Since I take these two out in the field more than the others, I want them to be less conspicuous to critters.  I don't care for camo films or dips on the stocks, maybe on the metal parts.  I just want a dull nonglare finish.  On the wood, I want a dull finish there also, and maybe something to break up the outline some.  The problem with camo "patterns" is they don't always match where you are or the season.

I plan to work on two guns for this project; my old Mossberg 500 shotgun in 12 gauge, and a Umarex air rifle that wears the Ruger Airhawk logo.  Whatever I decide to use must be durable and easily touched up so the weapon remains protected and still "hidden".

More updates as this project goes on!
