Im debating on painting a AR with Duplicolor "Mirage". Upper,lower,barrel forearm. but before i start was wondering how many of ya'll would think it would look good or like crap? In case your not sure what "Mirage" is heres a link.

Some paints don't hold up well to exposure to chemicals such as bore solvents.  Some have a nasty habit of melting and bubbling when you really heat up the barrel, dumping a few mags.  I have no idea what the Duplicolor will do, but there's not much you can put on you can't strip off later.

I wonder how well the Birchwood/Casey paint holds up then? I used the flat black to cover a ugly scratch on the barrel
