Painted AR's - show 'em off!

Krylon with some honest use. It seems to wear really fast at first, then I guess it gets knocked off the high spots and pretty much stays the same.

She's a beaut! I really like the color you used with (I think) laundry bag/netting?

Nothing wrong with some wear! A guy saw my SBR at the range a few weeks ago and exclaimed "man, that's beatup and ugly. I love it." That's a compliment in my book, unless he's talking about my wife

Painted my brother's blaster, he didn't want much green...

Both look good, I really like the Cobra patch on your bag. I got a question do you guys strip all the accessories off and paint, or leave them on?

I was wondering if people paint the rifle, then paint sights, rail covers, etc... or if its best to paint them mounted?

I know I get silly the later it gets. Most people I have known that rattle canned it, did so with everything in place. I'm sure some OCD guys strip it down and try and make it as prof. as possible. To each he's own. I personnaly think the rubbed off paint gives its own unique camo type. So I wouldn't worry too much.
