Here is a photo of the digital AR I just got finished. It is finished with DuraCoat in green, light brown, dark brown, & stone:

How much did that cost? If you don't mind me asking.

The job itself is very well done, but the green is too light IMO.

The cost for a complete rifle / optics refinished in a digital pattern with this much detail is about $450 + shipping. A standard MirageFlage finish for a rifle / optics is $369 + shipping. The rifle is a display rifle for the shop & only cost my time (which was about 17 hrs not counting prep work) and 4 oz of coating.

green needs to be darker - sweet rifle nonetheless.

WOW!  
Finally a camo job that really works!

Pretty nice.

IMHO - I would swap the green and coyote to have more of a coyote base rather than the green.

BTW - Are those Magpul XT panels and how well does the Duracoat stick to a flexible rubbery surface?

Thanks

I think you guys are confusing a light/ washed out picture with a light colored green.  There is glare on the weapon, and the light readings are off.  I would guess that in real life, the coloring is different than what you are seeing on your monitor right now.  


Very nicely done work.

You probably need a sling with that.  If you put it down while you're outside gardening (and I always garden with my carbine) you might not find it!

All I see is vegatation and rocks.  Where are the rifles.

The green is lighter than OD green but its not as light as it is in the photo. The brown on it is a very dark brown, its almost a black. The colors are brighter in real life. It was pretty overcast this morning so I left the flash on.

That is really sweet!  I'd love to see it in desert and urban colors too!  A bit pricey though, but I expect there's a do it yourself kit available for us tightwads.

I've done a couple of desert patterns (there is a 700 on my web site in it) and some urban patterns (2 on my web site). Most of my customers who want digital patterns want them on their bolt action rifles. Most of the AR's and FN's Ive done were in single colors.

nice very nice. I like the look of a painted rifle but I have not got the balls to do it.
