Painted AR's - show 'em off!

[Jellybean]

So I finally worked up the courage to paint my SBR- Magpul lower w/ B5 SOPMOD stock, Vltor MUR upper w/ 10.5" barrel and DD RISII rail, T-1

Actually I didn't...
BUT I decided to do a trial run on my airsoft SBR and see how it came out.

Pattern- green/tan Tigerstripe (because TS is awesome and there's not enough of it in this world! )
Items used- OD and Tan/Khaki Rustoleum Camo spray paint, TS pattern
Took the thing all apart, sanded down finish w/ some light sandpaper, cut out TS pattern from a picture I found online w/ razor, wrapped around parts and held in palce w/ doublesided tape- I should have taken a picture- it was a work of taped-up art.

Finished product:

After seeing so many good looking rifles in the picture thread and being inspired by the paint jobs I decided to do it. Didn't have the guts to do the upper and lower on my first attempt but its more for bling and to make it uniquely mine than anything. Rustolium Camo Black, satin aluminum, oiled bronze, Krylon satin white and flat clear. A laundry bag net and a sponge. Was going for an Urban Snakeskin.





Not to bad for a first timer.

Dude, you gotta do the rest of that thing. Looks great.

That thing looks great! I can see all the time you put into it with the prep and the custom TS paint mask. Good job keeping the overspray to a minimum while applying paint from a rattle can vs an airbrush.

Its been a 11 days, paint is dry but feels tacky. Any suggestion, I used Rustolium and Krylon fusion.

What's the climate and temp like in your area?

The problem is that Rustoleum is an enamel base paint, Krylon Fusion is a lacquer base. They are not compatable.

Wow, three days has always been long enough with Aervoe.
