"Refinished" my rifle today, check it out. Also recently reconfigured the setup, changing the ARMS AimPoint mount with LaRue and switching the Surefire tape switch weaponlight with an X200. The Weapon light became awfully heavy after a while and I decided to cut down on weight. Someday maybe I'll switch forends to something a bit lighter too....

Looks very nice! I've never seen someone camo up LaRue stuff yet.
WHY did you ditch the Arms mount, inquiring minds would like to know
Same here. Lumpy, need a test can shipped to you? |

I've got a couple of guns I want to refinish in this manner and my first few attempts did'nt go so well. Even though I tryed my best w/each one. Help please? You can IM me if you want.

so when you paint an ar... do you do what you normally do when painting metal and scuff it up a good bit? or do you just degrease it, cover all the important holes, and spray away?

That's a really good job! I think you may have a second career available to you.

I had to put some no ban stuff on my cammo gun and redo the paint on the new stuff. While I was at it, I got a new OD green Houge grip from Rock River... The green on the grip matches the Krylon OD almost perfect. I painted a little tan over the grip. At least now when the tan flakes it will be green underneath instead of black. I was happy. Intaleld a Magpul M93 and painted it too. As soon as I get the barrel threaded and a FS installed, I will post more pics!

Maybe I did mine differently or incorrectly, but I didn't cover anything (except I did close the dust cover). I just degreased it thoroughly and went to town w/ the Krylon. Granted, I never sprayed anything down the muzzle.

What did you use to degrease it?

The only prep I did was remove the ladder rail covers, plug the mag well with a rag, degrease with brake cleaner and spray in the sun. |
