Just use Khaki and mist it over your "black" carbine, and it will turn grey when it dries. Be sure to not put so much paint and over do it, cause it won't come out grey. In order to get the dots you will need to barely push the tip on the can so it will spit. |

ETA: The grey is starting to wear/turn khaki a lil bit after I took it hunting/hiking, and It kind of looks like a sidewalk with earth on it now. The paint job was only done 3 months ago which is why people say Krylon/Rustos are only for the look.

Thanks for all the compliments, here are some more pictures and the process that I put in the Sponge Camo Thread: I originally painted my AR with the pine needle method, then I decided to switch it up and combine it with more dark colors and use the sponge method with it. I am pretty pleased with the outcome, it looks even better in person and outside. Base coat of Rustoleum Khaki: Adding in the Krylon Camo Brown & Green: Added in Black and Khaki sponge patterns, I went light on both: Clear coated with Rustoleum Matte Clear Coat: |

How is everyone prepping parts before applying krylon?
Just degrease everything with degreaser or carb cleaner, then mask off and spray bomb the rifle? |
