Alright so I aint spending thousands on some cool authentic green furniture, I know some have had good results with spraying some A1 stock sets green, anyone know what the best color matches are for spray on retro greenery? I will probably use it on a psuedo retro project that I am wating to come in, so as not to defile retro sensitivities.
Thanks

KurtVF, on this site, has the color matched and sells if for use in your air brush. I am not sure if he is back from overseas yet.

I got mine set for about $860, so you shouldn't spend thousands anyways.

I've got a little of Kurt's paint left over. Not enough to paint anything, but maybe enough that a body shop could reproduce it.......

....& I have under $50 (just over $100 in my complete stock set) in my set of HGs. You just have to have a little luck on your side, & a heck of a lot of patience.

Yeah, well I guess $860 aint bad.........F that.

The most I've spent on furniture is about $500 for a set of Russian early '74 furniture from Tantal. It hurt but damn its sweet.

Really, I'd be happy enough with spray on fakes. If I had a 1/14 barrel and/or every other authentic component I might change my mind and shell out the $$$$, but I dont.

$860 is the total I spent on my entire set.
Most of that was the handguards. ($740)
The same week I bought the handguard I bought a full set of furniture for $500 for my Prototype AR.
I told one of my gun fanatic friends that I'd spent over $1200 on furniture and he gave me a funny look and said, "you could have bought an entire AR for that!"
Hanging out with you guys makes me look crazy.
