[ARCHIVED THREAD] - WTK: How to camo an M4

Posted: 10/22/2004 7:30:52 AM EDT

I am working in Iraq as a contractor and I have seen several M4's with a "home made" desert camo finish on them. When I return home I would like to duplicate what I am seeing over here on my M4.

I would like to know where to find the correct spray paint, how to go about doing it and having it look good.

I'm sure your seeing BowFlage. Its, technically, a "removable" camo paint.

I just finished talking to a 5th Group SF guy here and he says that they use BowFlage paint. I have done a search on the net and cannot find anyone that sells it. Are there any dealers on the net I can contact?
