I finally bit the bullet.
 Attached FileI wish I'd remembered to keep the mesh closer to the gun. It didn't have much effect. 
 Attached FileIn full sunlight, it's lighter than I'd like, but it's still a damn sight better than black. I may speckle a bit more dark brown to see what effect it has. We'll see.  Attached File Attached File |

Well I pulled the trigger...let’s just say it was scary hahaha. Does anyone else have a problem with a magpul pistol grip being a little tacky...? I know the sling mount is tacky because it’s paint on plastic coating but the grip I don't know about. Any ways here are the pics...please tell me your thoughts.

Anyone know how a Aervoe Olive Drab and Aervoe Earth Brown camo job would look? Probably would do olive drab as the base then spray areas of the brown and use a gym bag or something to create a olive drab pattern over the brown and a brown over the olive drab?... Very new to painting so not sure what direction to go. I live in more of a wooded environment

Did this lower in Aervoe Field Drab. I really like it. It has a hit of green to it in some lighting, but in bright natural light it looks like in this photo.
Going to do my Bootleg upper and SLR rail in this color this week.

Anyway, pic thread. 
Krylon and Rustoleum for the tan ones.

Better pic from shortly after sighting in yesterday. Colors don't really match the vegetation at my range, but I spend more time in the woods during fall and winter. Should work good then.
Probably less than $400 in it. I'll be using it for steel case mag dumps and banging around on the 4 wheeler. |

Never done camo paint before. Thought I'd practice on a few ammo cans first. I liked the way they turned out. So I did a "not a yeti-tumbler" too. I used a enamel gloss clear coat on the tumbler.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By MidwestJ: Fantastic. Stencils?? Process? I started with de-greasing (alcohol) the "whatever it is I'm going to paint", then using 4 colors of Rust-oleum (SP?) camouflage colors I started by base coating the whole item in tan. A couple - three coats, then, went from light to dark with some vegetation I found around my house. I have a fuck ton of ammo cans I'm going to try different methods on until I find a method I like most. then I'll do my Tavor. I bought a few more tumblers to play with as well. I did add 3 layers of clearcoat to the tumbler. I'm going to do my GoPro frame and magnet mount too. I already did the external battery bank. |
