BilletHead... That's an awesome looking paint job. How'd you do that abstract camo pattern? May have to try that this winter. My BB paddle is bright yellow. I don't hate it, but your paint job looks awesome.

MOsmallies,

Pretty easy. Inn the next couple of days I will do a quickie how to.

Ok here we go,

Really simple. So easy I can do it! Take your color choices. I use lighter first. Spray sections, blobs,blotches, stripes etc. Here I used a three colors similar to a WW2 pattern.

Use something for a stencil. Leaves, branches, etc. Here I use a clump of pampas grass and hold it on the background.

Then I use a fourth color typically the darkest and give the stencil a spray.

Remove and place again then spray and repeat.

Presto you have passed the camo course. If you got an area too dark or not how you want it hold the grass up again and hit it with one of your lighter base colors.

Remember the beauty is there are no rules to how you do this and the more abstract the better thus making touch ups easy.

The colors I used are supposed to bond with plastic but it doesn't with the paddle blade but as you can see I touched mine up after a year of hard use,

That's awesome and looks pretty simple. What brand of spray paint did you use? I'm gonna give it a shot with my BB paddle this winter. I'll post pics once I do it. Thanks for the step by step with pics.
