Painting my AR!!!

JASLAR12002 · January 25, 2015

So I have been doing a lot of looking and you tube vids. I want to paint one of my ARs mostly for fun. Needless to say my sons toys are my practice grounds.

I think I now have it to a science on what I prefer. So tomorrow I'm gonna take the plunge

Looks good to me. I thought about doing the same thing to my 887, since it's ugly already and has a big outline.

I'm thinking elastic wrap and ghillie for the .30-06.

Looks good, how is the texture of the paint?

It's great sort of like the texture of the mag pul furniture. Smooth but still has grip. I used the rustolium Camo ullta flat paint it hard to tell in pics but. There is no gloss.

Looks good!

Would look even better if you were to stretch a leg stocking over the rifle and lightly spray it again, gives a ciil snake skin look. I would love to paint my AR's but then they are all of limits for work.

Being a bowhunter, I'm onboard with the function of camo on a weapon. But I'm just not thrilled with the look, especially on a gun. I frequent a predator/coyote forum and a lot of the hunters do the camo on their ARs. I understand it. But I like the clean look of a traditional gun. I'm over the hill old school about guns, I guess.

One of my favorite guns to hunt with.

I started out with the rattle can jobs, but then quickly got into duracoat and cerakote. What a world of difference it makes for the durability, but damn is it pricey.

Burnt Bronze

Burnt Bronze and Graphite Black

These are both all custom jobs with C series Cerakote Coating done by a guy in Arkansas and the rifles were built by Moon at Crescent customs

Some goofing around with Duracoat I did
