I have been sitting on 6 cans of aervoe for about 3 months working up the courage to rattle can my SBR. I bought 3 colors to try a ACU or MARPAT style, so I went with foliage green, light coyote, and desert sand.
This morning, I woke up and said "F it, I'll use brake clean if I don't like it!" I took off all plastic and rubber parts, taped and plugged holes, and then hung up the semi-stripped rifle for degreasing. I just used non-chlorinated brake clean and a brush to clean off all oils and grease. I cleaned it 3 times to make sure it was really clean and worked from top to bottom.
So...here is the base paint (light coyote)

Got happy with my work, that I got crazy and painted my Specwar 762

As soon as this dries up, I'll update this thread with my next step of layering the other 2 colors. Wish me luck!
