Hi guys! I thought I'd register and show you all what I was able to do with this technique with my M4 AEG. Not sure if you all mind that it's airsoft or not, but, here it is: [link removed]
The pictures are a bit hard to make out, for which I do apologize. You can get the basic jist of the paint scheme although. If anyone would like me to try and get a better shot, I'd be glad to try my luck with it out in some natural light. In order to make up for my crappy video, I made a quite more substantial one; the sun decided to pop out for a few, so I grabbed my gun and my DSLR and went outside to get some shots! Here's the link for the new video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj_KMR6a5q0 As far as paint goes, it was a black base with OD stripes, followed up with a lighter shade of green for "sponging". Then, layers of brown and OD sponging were applied as well. To finish it all off, I went back in with black sponging in areas where I went a bit heavy on the other colors, and now the entire gun looks great. The camo is really subtle, and it's hard for me to even tell where I striped it originally. Overall; great paint method, really easy and cheap, quick to do. |

jrn156, you are an F'ng genius. I have always been scared to rattle can a rifle. I've done furniture in the past, but nothing more. Your idea is incredibly easy and yields great results. A big thank you is warranted.
Krylon Khaki base with OD stripes and khaki, OD and brown earth sponging. I am quite happy with my first attempt.

I'm a little bit chicken with the subject of painting a very expensive weapon but I am going to replace the grip and stock soon and the mags I can always acetone back to black/OD so I decided to play my hand at a little sponge'n

I went camping a few weeks ago and took that rifle. It was amazing what that simple paint job did to break up the outline. The pic below was taken with an unpainted mag. Quite a contrast, heck even with the bcg..  |

Thanks -That looks very well done. The best part of rattle can is that its easy to touch up and if you get tired of it, its easy to remove.

An updated pic of mine..... She has been touched up a bit here and there, but most of it is from the original paint job.

Thanks. What colors would you guys recommend for woodland? Sorry I'm color blind and can't tell the shades. And would you use flack as the back ground color or brown?

Question for you, or anyone else that has painted their scope.... I notice that no one bothers taping the windage or elevation adjustment caps, which makes sense since they are sealed when closed tight. But my scope is a 3-9 so I have a power ring adjustment that leaves that little crack where it turns. Do I need to tape that??? I doesn't look like most people are doing it, but I wanted to make sure!
P.S. my scope is silver, so I can't tape a little line right there and leave it. My only option would be to tape a thin line and go over it with black sharpie, so I would rather not have to do that if I don't have to. Originally Posted By usmc5593:

Here's my first try at it. Figured I would throw a twist in with tiger stripes. I know its not a AR but I wanted to try it on a cheaper gun first.
