You can't go back after that, and it's the easiest way that I've found to get over that initial "I can't!" hurdle. |

Hey all, first post, long time reader. I plan on doing my new AR over the weekend doing the pine straw/fishnet combo. But here is what I did before the deer hunt this year, talk about a project! Hope some minds are blown... haha.
Old AR that I had to sell, I still hate myself for it. 
New virgin AR, ready for the rusto 
edit: why do my pics show up in a preview but as a link on the forum? |

It's a new-ish anti-spam thing that the owners are using that requires 3 (i think) paid team members to approve any picture links for <50 post count people. They show up just fine for team members, and as soon as 3 click on the approve button, they show up as pics for everyone else as well. |

Would like some feedback on my next camo job. Stick with Grey and Black as shown on the rifle, or add some earth brown and olive drab like on the P-mag? Going for a late fall camo scheme, which in my woods is more greys and browns. Goal of any camo is not so much to match as much as breaking up the outline.

What kind of paint? The rattle can stuff that I have used is usually dry to the touch in about 15 -20 minutes and is fully cured in 24 hrs. I did my first coat on Friday and that stuff was dry in 24 hours but then I wanted to add a bit more brown so I did on Saturday. Its been 24 hours since then and my rail is a little sticky. Other places that I touched up yesterday are dry like they should be. I wonder if I should stick it in the oven at like 200 degrees for a bit. Bake it on? You could bake it, but I'd give it another day to dry and see what it does. |
