I rattlecanned one of my ARs last weekend. Not my first time. Now, it's common knowledge that beer and painting ARs go together like..something that goes well together. However, I might have started a little early this time..I was pretty buzzed.
I forgot to degrease the damn thing. I had the brake cleaner sitting right there next to my Sam Adams Octoberfest and just..didn't.
So, a week later, there are still some parts that are still a tad sticky (mostly the pistol grip, parts of my KAC RAS and that damn rubbery sling swivel. Paint just doesn't like that thing), and some of it is already wearing off just from me handling it. Like, on certain parts that are pretty much dry, it's really easy to just rub off with a finger.
Should I accept that I screwed it up, and strip it down and re-paint it? Would you?
