I've always set them in front of a space heater until they're hot enough to be uncomfortable to the touch. Like any good paint, several light coats, letting it flash off between coats. I've got a gun that I painted over 10 years ago, hasn't been babied and the finish still looks like the day I did it. |

Made my first attempt at spray painting a rifle yesterday evening. This is my least prestigious AR and I did a pretty low effort job of it just to see how it would turn out. Overall I’m satisfied with the outcome but I don’t like how light the Rustoleum khaki camo paint is. I need to track down something more coyote brown colored for the next attempt.

It just has more of a yellow hue to it. I do wish they had an in between color when compared to the earth brown or whatever its called. |

If anyone has a line on Aervoe Light Green plz link me. I cannot find it in stock anywhere and I want to do a bazooka green carbine.
Since pic thread... Shot a few new test handloads at 100 yesterday from my custom shooting platform, then backed off to 250 and was smacking the 3" steel easily. I like the green and fde, and I like this gun. Heavy, but it's easy to shoot. Attached File |

I think it is because you don't get the feathered edge of Khaki that is really light, and instead that is the darker color feathering into the khaki. Attached File SBR on the bottom is the Rustoleum colors...kahki base, then brown and green sprayed over it. Thanks, |
