Painting one of my ARs. Did a good coating of Aluahyde ii - OD Green on the receivers and handguard with the intention of that being an undercoat for a krylon fusion camo job (see magazine)

Problem (if you can call it that) is that I really like the look of the OD Green stand alone. It is no where a deep a green as the stock or grip. What say you? Stop here or go and camo the whole thing to match the magazine. In no way is this a "retro" build.

keep going!

eta: keep it simple. hit it with a brown/tan through a mesh bag.  i wouldnt do the whole gun like you did the mag.  just do enough to where green is still the primary color but you have a secondary color to offset/blend

I used Alumahyde Coyote on my 6.8 build and really like it how it was.  You can always add the krylon later when you get bored with it.

Went ahead and finished it up today. Still a good amount of the original Alumahyde OD green as the base. Hopefully with use the Krylon will wear a bit and the green base will come through.
