I do Lauer Custom Weaponery did it. I have also seen other firearms they camoed and they do a fantastic job. They also do the camouflage paint jobs for the FALs that DSA manufactures. They can be contacted on the industry forum here or at www.lauerweaponry.com
The color is off in this picture, I really have to get around to getting a better picture. Here is urodoji's Lauer camoed AR, which is for sale on the equipment exchange.

Thanks for the info guys. Just when I thought I found the pattern I liked, I have more to choose from. Anyone send a gun off to someone besides Lauer? How were the results ?

CamoIt over in Lorena, Texas on I-35 between Dallas and Austin does some remarkable camo too. A visit to their website is interesting. |

Here are a couple of other places that do camo finishes. They are highly "touted" by the folks who frequent the FN/FAL board.

Those are awesome pics guys. That is EXCELLENT work. At the risk of sounding stupid, is Bowflage the Name of the Paint? How do you remove it? It looks really cool on the optics. Did Painting the BUIS have any effect on it as far as effecting moving parts? Did you guys use some sort of pattern, or just staring spraying different shapes/patterns. You guys have me leaning towards a do it yourself job. I just have to get up the nerve/confidence.

txswat,
I use Testors Military Flats model paint, with 3-4 coats of clear flat lacquer afterwards. It holds up well, and can be completely removed with Hoppes(with a little elbow grease). I would just spray the base color(usually the lightest color) and then use a brush for the rest. You get better definition this way rather than spraying all the colors. They tend to run together without the benefit of breaking the outline as well. Its actually pretty easy to paint your guns, although the first ones always the hardest. You can get cheap stock sets from Northridge for the AR. Makes experimenting fairly pain free, and you dont have to clean up your good set if you screw up. They sell the sets for $20, thats stock, handguards and grip. They are off M16A1's so they have the shorter stock and triangular handguards. I'd just get the cammies you want to copy and use them as the pattern and go from there. I usually do the whole gun, I havent decided what camo I want yet, thats why the metals not done on mine. I'm leaning towards the Flecktarn. |

Awesome pics guys. Thanks again. Where is a good place to get Bowflage paint? Did you get your Testors at a hobby store?

Yup, the hobby shop. Take your cammies with you to help match the colors.

I think these places sell bowflage, but I have not purchased from either. I think the top one is canadian. www.execulink.com/~archnook/camo.html www.chagnonoutdoors.com/Chagnon_Storefront/asp_StoreFront |

Yeah, the picture of AK103K's Dissipator really doesn't do it justice.
AK, I took the liberty of grabbing the pic for reference when you had the original and have it hosted (not published) on my site. Let me know if that's a problem. To get a real idea of how nice a job he did on his German Fleck patterned dissipator, click here. |

AK103K,
Have you done the receiver yet? That is truly excellent work. |

[#25]
Thanks for the comments. I havent done the reciever yet, still have another set of furniture left and havent decided what I want to do. I have a set done in Brownells Aluma-Hyde II in OD that I like too. I guess I'll just have to get on the ball and get some more rifles :). Just wish they were as cheap as the stock sets. Red-Leg, no problem, I'm honored.

That pattern is different. It looks cool. Sort of like a niht desert/woodland mix.

I was going to say night desert or snake skin. What do you call it SFG?

Posted: 11/14/2002 1:06:03 PM EDT
[#32]
Yeah, it kinda reminds me of the desert night uniforms we were issued in the Gulf War.
Then again, it also reminds me of a kinda fiberglass or carbon fiber look. |

It's real easy to duplicate. You start by finding some old kitchen cabinet liners. You
first lay down a base coat of exactly 3 pints "BASS" and let it sit. Once that's soaked in, you cover up with the liners and apply 2 pints "Killian's". You remove the liners and you have a cool pattern. Make sure to have something on hand for cleaning your feet. I had camo toes the next morning! |

Yeah, it's worthy of a true post, but I've grown a bit gun shy since the last time I posted a few pics on this forum. It sucks up quite a bit of bandwidth, and when you're hosting at home...
Thanks for the assist! |
