The camo krylon now has "Fusion Technology" which I figured was a joke. I am amazed thus far at how well it has stuck. I rubbed my thumb across the paint for a while, trying to get it to rub off. It hasn't yet. Keep us updated with pics of course.

Thanks for posting your pics and procedure. That's kind of what I had hoped this thread would turn into so other folks could see that it is really pretty easy to do. I don't think I have seen anyone's project turn out bad. Your Mini looks great! |

More Duracoat Broomstraw fodder for ya. Its an essential arms lower, cmmg upper and 18" middy barrel, yhm rifle length tube, and millet 4-16 ill. with tps rings. Colors are base of magpul FDE, aug green, dirt brown, and combat green shadows. Make sure you dont miss the howling coyote. Looks like I need a ARD really bad or mist the inside of the sunshade.

I don't make it over to the refinishing threads much, but I'm sure glad I saw this thread. That pattern looks GREAT. Good job to all you guys. I can't wait to try this on my own.

Well, I had to try it. I didn't have pine needles, so I used tall grass. My old .22 became my first victim, and you guys are right, it is addictive.

Nice work. I tried the tall grass, but found it hard to work with. bjwar10 has created a monster.

I was wondering how the heck this got pushed to page 2.
Krylon again this time? I'm tired of drooling over your rifle. Full specs on it please. |

I have truly been inspired by this post. This is a troy MCS in a "broom pattern"
 . I will be finishing the rifle in another week or so. Just waiting on the stock. I followed the writeups but I added a lighter tan color as a fourth color. Let me know if it works or not. I'm not sure if I like it or not as much with the light (almost) white color. I will be doing an M4 with the same pattern colors as BJWAR10. Thanks again BJWAR, This has been alot of fun!

My pleasure. FWIW I kind of like the white on that TROY chasis. I used Krylon khaki to get the shade slightly lighter than the Norrell's...not a lot of it just a few spots here and there. |

Refinshed my KISS gun after adding a new FF tube from YHM. A new set of BUIS are on order to complete it. Duracoat colors are base of desert warrior dark earth, accented with AUG green, custom brown, and combat green.

Why thank you. Some good looking guns on here. By far my favorite camo pattern. Bill Jordan ain't got nothin' on this. |

updated with the new set of BUIS.
   I just cant make myself paint the aimpoint yet. The problem is the paint on lettering they use on them...there is no way to save it.......any suggestions? |

Here is my scope with the base coat only (prior to krylon). After each of the light coats of KG, I took a q-tip and some MEK and removed the KG from the lettering and numbers. On the final VERY light misting, I left the KG and this is what it looks like. It subdued the areas without totally covering the lettering. My only thought for you is that the MEK might take the lettering off the Aimpoint...    |

Along the lines of what he said, you might just tape off the lettering then mist it with paint instead of putting it on heavy.

I tried using tape and my biggest issue was when I went to remove the tape it peeled off some of the finish with it. YMMV |
