Anyone done it yet?

Thinking of painting my first AR and my KE arms build makes the most sense.

Think I’ll have to rough up the parts first?

Use plastic specific paint?

Crappy older pic of one I did. I didn't do any kind of special prep for it, used the regular Krylon Camo paint.

Seems to be holding up OK. Does wear off the plastic faster than on metal. Once they get really worn I usually just respray them.

Looks good. Still haven't done mine yet but plan on it.

I don't have any specific advice for painting them, I haven't painted any myself.

All of my custom KP-15s are cerakoted by We Plead the 2nd/Pro 2 Customs.
