I just let it wear some then repaint over it.  Not too worried about residual paint, it looks good when it wears.

Adding mine to the thread that provided some inspiration. Long post below, pics at the end.

Backstory on the gun….the goal was to slap it together without spending a dime on it. Like most of us the build started with some random leftover parts and take offs. Everything else was pieced together from trades or from selling stuff I no longer needed.

Brief rundown on what I “spent” money on.

The lower itself is a PSA “stealth” I got for $30, sold some holsters to fund that and the FFL fee and shipping.

The upper is also PSA, the cheapest one I could find on sale for Memorial Day, $160 iirc. The handguard is an NC Star|Vism two piece that still uses the delta ring, $60 or so. We cleaned out our shed a while back and I sold a Yeti cooler we never used for $250 to fund those.

The BCG I got in trade for some .22LR ammo. I was consolidating all of my .22LR to CCI and Federal, and was getting rid of all of the random boxes and brands. Dude on a local board was building a dedicated .22LR upper and didn’t need the BCG but needed ammo. Win win.

The optic is PA I think, it’s a take off from another gun that’s getting an upgrade.
The lower parts are all leftovers or takeoffs.
Any other random stuff was funded by EE sales or sales on a local board. Paint and mag I had laying around the house. I may have $50 at the most invested in something random I’m not recalling.

I was going to christen it my Oscar the Grouch build since it was funded by stuff that may have ended up in the garbage. I have no connection to Sesame Street though. But…we do have a few raccoons in the neighborhood that torment my dog, so it’s now known as my trash panda build. I even have a cool little trash panda sticker to drop on the magwell where a roll mark would be.

Enough of the TLDR, pictures:

That's pretty F'ing neat.

I've been playing around with the ARS "Rhodesian" paint instructions, got  a stock set done, but can not bring myself to do a rifle yet.
My take on the "Faux-desian" paint pattern.
I've trademarked that phrase, by the way......

Looks great - you should definitely paint up the rest of the rifle. Faux-desian- very cool phrase !

It looks like it’s brushed on?
Is there a significance to the 77?

Oh, and do the whole rifle, it’s very freeing once it’s done.

Rhodesian paint scheme was green, tan and yellow house or vehicle paint applied with a brush, rope, old rags, etc. The 77 is because I could.
It's a psuedo-rack number, a lot of the Rhodesian rifles and stocks you see have armory rack numbers, figured I was a kid in 77, lot of those rifles around, nostalgia mostly.

Interesting method of putting the paint on.
I thought maybe the 77 was a birth year or something.

The RhAF and some BSAP subunits used rack numbers, but most RSF units did not. The majority of rack numbers were put on post-1980. Still, I love the paint job, and that number looks fine. Now paint the rest, import or not!
