[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Spray the paint.....yay or nay? (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 7/24/2015 4:28:50 PM EDT

I am weak.

I have no self control.

Do I paint or leave it black? If I paint it that means the ole draco SBR will be the only non painted stick in the safe.

If I paint it..... I'm thinking Aervoe Field Drab as its a good commie color.

the CTR was a place holder for the black one that's currently on there.

While I really like the way it looks currently, I would love to see what it looks like painted. Paint!

I probably wouldn't but I'm scared.

I stripped a rail and some other stuff so i can have a SBR painted to match.

This field drab is going to be awesome. Unlike my previous camo jobs this one will be a solid color.

Post pics when you're done. I've been thinking about doing some painting also.

Fin,

I'm sure it will look good OD. I just followed Dragynn's method and sprayed and baked my Draco SBR with the Rustoleum black appliance epoxy paint a week or so ago. Looking fwd to seeing your pics!

Stock adapter is a JMAC customs Mod1 with a standard buffer tube and Magpul CTR. The brake is the CNC warrior version of the Russian DTK-2, CNC calls it their compact brake.

I've painted many and its fun - this painted will only leave 1 unpainted rifle in my safe.

I'm all about the rattle can, Do you have an example of what you think you want it to look like? Almost like the Alfa clones?

good question, here is the job I did on the SLR-107 an Alfa theme if you will:

for this one I'm thinking of going along the lines of what TheTacticalCoyote did with his:

but with Aervoe field drab, which has a good russian hue to it.

The force is strong with that stick paint it if you like otherwise let her bark define what she is. If your path is to paint then go forth and paint her, but she will bark the same wether black orange or yellow. As long as you take her out to bark fire balls it makes no matter. Post pics of what you dress her in in the end.

Can you give me a brief description on how you prepare your rifle for painting? Such as, do you wipe it down with anything in particular to help the paint adhere better?

Depends on the job I'm doing. If it's a camo pattern I tape off optics and wipe off any oil and then go to town. Start with light base and use dark colors for pattern or accent.

For this one being one color I'm going to detail strip it, wipe down parts to remove oils etc... And then hang up parts and paint.

I'll see about taking pics

Thanks for the reply. Pics would be great!

Didn't turn out like I planned. The single color was awesome - but it just wasn't right.

So I busted out the brown and went for the Gruppa99 color scheme as seen below.

And it turned out awesome. The field drab made a great base to pattern off of, now to paint some other stuff

That's really sharp Fin. What are the colors? Sorry if you already said. I did my AR but I'm not completely satisfied with how the color turned out. I might add your two colors to it. Well, to this:

Also do you have a pic of what it looked like before?
