This is my first attempt at spray painting a rifle. Did the whole rifle but the rubber ergo grip is taking its time drying so I just separated the upper from the lower. Used Aervoe sand as a base and then went back over with bands of Aervoe olive drab and Aervoe earth brown using a mesh bag. I went back over and dusted with olive drab and hit it with sand where I thought I had overdone the darker colors. It definitely didn't dry quite as green/dark as I was going for and the pattern turned out kinda subtle but overall I'm happy.

Just popped my rattle can cherry. Base coat of flat patriot brown on my 308 pistol. I have other colors to do as this will be my new hunting rifle.
Khaki added... Not sure exactly how this will end up, but we shall see. 
Started doing the multicam stencil and ended up with pine straw. I need a little lighter green to add to it, although I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Thought I'd make my first post on here about my [attempted] paint job on my AR pistol.
I was going for the AOR1 digital pattern and have tried three times over the past eight months and it never turned out quite right. I think this is the closest I'll get. I was going for the look as seen on a lot of the ST6/DEVGRU guns. I've given up on that as I can never get the colors right. The desert pattern does me no good here in Northern Virginia so this is for purely aesthetic, tacti-cool purposes. The optics are not painted because I just can't bring myself to mess with those for some reason. Maybe because I swap optics between my firearms a lot. The paint used was Aervoe desert sand, light coyote and coyote. This time I used a stencils from freedomstencils.com instead of the Primary Arms stencil. You can see the difference between a stick on stencil and the Primary Arms stencil. The mag was painted previously using the Primary Arms stencil and the rest of the AR pistol used the stick on type stencils. Aervoe is some serious stuff, incredibly hard to remove and very toxic (as per the warnings on the can). Being that I live in a small apartment with no options of painting outside anywhere, I had to plastic up my bathroom and get a respirator; the whole nine yards. Success though with minimal damage to my bathroom other than the fan vent is now brown from the paint dust. On a side note, what removes Aervoe paint? Gotta clean up some surfaces in my bathroom.

My 13 y.o. wanted to camo her AR and I gave her free reign...she is infatuated with horses so they made their way on it. Whatever keeps her interested in shooting! I actually ended up liking it. You can make out the horses close up but further away it just looks like camo.
