Thanks.  I really enjoy painting my rifles.  It makes it your own.

So far I have painted 3 of my rifles. 2 of them with Rusto Khaki and Dark Earth, and the other I added some Rusto Army Green. I would add pics but can’t figue out how to LoL.

I’m looking for some ideas for my 11.5 pistol. Would prefer some “urban” friendly ideas. Any ideas? Pics would be awesome.

With a paid membership, you can host pictures directly on here, but without, you'll have to use some external picture hosting site like postimages or imageshack.

Then once they are hosted there, you can put them in your posts here.

Even with a paid membership, if you want a decent image, you have to host it somewhere else.

Try imgur.com.  Upload your pic, then click on "get share links".  You'll want the bbcode share link.  Copy and paste it here and it'll work like magic.

Thank you.

I am very happy how they turned out.

They were actually quite easy to do, if any one wants to copy.

I just alternately striped the base colors, and then once it was dry, laid a kryptek-style hand stencil on it and tagged grey over the darker base and black over the lighter:

I dont like clean, detailed, extensive cammo paint jobs. Rattle canned guns should be quick dirty to break up the black then use em and shoot em

Looks fine without a mesh overlay, not that one can see that pattern outside of a few yards.

I liked the hydrodip and it was still going strong and not peeling.  But then I started going through a few pages on this thread and one thing led to another.

My first attempt at rattle canning a rifle.

Finished product:



It definitely looks lighter in the sun than inside. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I think it'll work well for the desert here.

I did some mags to go with the rifle.
