Hi guys,
I want to subdue my all black Benelli M4. I've been purchasing replacement parts that are tan colors. The extent of my purchases have been the sling, shell carrier, weapon light and ladder rail covers.
I have a Surefire Scout Light that is in "Desert Sand Brown". I like the color. I wonder what Surefire's process is to coat these? Does anyone know?


I'm curious what I should use on the plastic stock and handguards? Or should I leave them black to avoid problems? I know that coating the rubberized parts is a NOGO.

Krylon Fusion for plastic maybe?

Is the Krylon Fusion line the toughest paint for plastics? Or would I be better off with Duracoat?

Duracoat would be more durable but it requires more prep, equipment, etc.  It depends on how serious you want to be.
