I don't think so they wouldn't be able to see the pictures underneath with bed liner like they can with tape.

Actually, I made a custom freefloat tube for a Varmit build I put together for my buddy.

I sprayed it with multiple coats tan truck bed liner to give it some grip and a little insulation from the cold.

Turned out nice, kind of like a Hogue overmolded.

Covered all the Dremel marks too!

Do want! I'd like one to cover the whole 16" barrel.

OP,

A lot of people on this site will never carry their gun all day long through, and up-and-over whatever. They will not have scraped it against a rock or whatever else.

With that said I don't see a practical need for painting an AR as its finish is quite good. The finish is starting to wear through on my hunting AR after about 20 years of actual use.

An old, blued rifle or shotgun with a very worn finish I think is a good candidate for trying your idea. If I hadn't already painted my hunting shotguns I might try it myself. However, I'm not sure a liner-finish is as corrosion (rusting) resistant as paint, but I sure as hell like the idea of the good grip it would afford and if it has insulating value that would be a huge plus too.

I could see the appeal for spraying it on stocks and handguards to add grip in crappy weather...

I'm probably going to "Raptor Line" one of my rifles. You Nancy boys can cry about it if you want. Once I get done I might throw it down the driveway and video it so you have something else to hump the internet about.

Eh, Photo was taken to update my friend on the progress, we caught the beginning of the panic at the end of the build and had to wait awhile for the bcg.

It's wreaking havoc on Coyotes in Colorado & Nebraska now......

It works great on stocks. I did several FAL's that had beat up plastic stocks. Filled in the dents and cuts with JB weld sanded and sprayed. Worked and looked great.

I used the Duplicolor spray can stuff on a CETME handguard and buttstock. It worked very well, actually.

I can't get a good enough picture to accurately show it off, though.

ETA pictures.

This. I would consider doing it on an old beater stock or maybe furniture but I wouldn't do the metal parts.

Field air gun guys did it for quite a while on those weird yellow / orange Chinese wood stocks - seemed to work if you got all the varnish shellac or whatever the over coat was off first

I have seen it used to make beat up and repaired wood stocks (typically mil-surps of some sort) with OK results.

If it works, why not? Unless you're putting said firearm in a beauty contest like so many on this site seem to do, then coat away.

I got a free Henry Survival Rifle that was beat to crap. I did the stock and barrel with bedliner and it turned out pretty good.

It actually works pretty damn well if you do your prep work. I've got an old Marlin Papoose that was pretty beat up from being carried in my backpack and several different boats as well as just general use; I stripped it and sprayed it with some of the bedliner in a can. So far it's holding up great and it's easy to handle with wet hands. If I get bored with it or it starts looking bad I can always strip it and just oil it. I wouldn't use it on a gun with nice wood, but it works well for something like the Marlin.

So there are two camps here....and both are saying the same thing

One side says, it works... go ahead and do it.

The other side says, only faggots and un-tactical people like that sort of stuff....do it so we can get a chuckle.

I used the textured outdoor paint from Rustoleum and it worked like a champ. Comes in good flat brown/green/black/sand

I did it to a beat up lower just for the hell of it.

It actually came out pretty good.

I used a commercial grade bed liner and I thinned it out and
sprayed multiple coats with an airbrush, it came out like the speckle finish on
the old Remington 700 PSS rifles.

I would imagine if you sprayed it like you would in an
actual automotive application it would turn out like crap.

Had some of this material and hardener left over from a jeep
project.

And I’ll tell you this… it’s pretty fucking durable!

I tried to strip it and the shit wouldn’t budge… blasting
cabinet didn’t work, wire wheel on a die grinder didn’t work, chemical solvents
didn’t work…
