The fact that there are different brands placed on different locations and facing different directions. Like you can't do that. This is 2016. We need a trigger warning these days for this mess.

Lol, hope you were able to find your safe space. 
Truth is I'm runnimg the mix for flexibility. Normally the upper is on an SBR lower, so has a VFG. Its on a pistol lower for deer season here in Indiana, so took off the VFG and put the magpul hand stop in its place. |

Paint looks best when it gets soiled with burnt powder and oil residue, and starts to wear away.   |

What started out as gentle egging from the slayer of fins turned into an epic failed attempt at woodland. However the end result turned into something awesome.

If you do it right it doesn't last long at all. <img src=http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> For those that like the worn look rattle can is great. I love it. If you want durability rattle can isn't really the best. I would imagine with good prep it would last OK depending on use. I do minimal prep. Spray with brake parts cleaner and air, 2-3 coats, done. Get out and use it asap, I hate the "fresh" look. |

Just go to Walmart and buy a mesh laundry bag and cut a swatch out to use as a stencil. As for durability, some spray paints last longer than others, but the best paint jobs are partially worn off. Krylon tends to last longer than most, Rustoleum is so-so, and is what I use, along with a good base of Skillcraft Tan Obliterating Compound. Basically, quit being a pussy and spray-paint a gun.

also if you throw a couple coats of clear over the whole thing when you're done, that'll help keep it from wearing away if that's not the look you're going for. but seriously, the whole point of a rattle can finish is the wear. proves the rig gets used.
