I've always set them in front of a space heater until they're hot enough to be uncomfortable to the touch. Like any good paint, several light coats, letting it flash off between coats. I've got a gun that I painted over 10 years ago, hasn't been babied and the finish still looks like the day I did it. |

Made my first attempt at spray painting a rifle yesterday evening. This is my least prestigious AR and I did a pretty low effort job of it just to see how it would turn out. Overall I’m satisfied with the outcome but I don’t like how light the Rustoleum khaki camo paint is. I need to track down something more coyote brown colored for the next attempt.

If anyone has a line on Aervoe Light Green plz link me. I cannot find it in stock anywhere and I want to do a bazooka green carbine.
Since pic thread... Shot a few new test handloads at 100 yesterday from my custom shooting platform, then backed off to 250 and was smacking the 3" steel easily. I like the green and fde, and I like this gun. Heavy, but it's easy to shoot.  Attached File |
