What are you guys using to spray on the duracoat? I want to go OD green on my lower and upper.

Cheap airbrushes, powered by my compressor.

The shake n spray kit works fine for small jobs, just move the part as needed, not the angle of the sprayer. For bigger jobs, most any airbrush will do once you get the mixture right and dial in the output. Either way, disassemble the internals, and prep the surfaces properly for the best result. After that, be patient with light, multiple coats or you'll be sorry!

Below are some pictures of my DDM4 that I painted several months ago. I used Aervoe and am very happy with the results.

Looks nice.
What kind of paint did you use.

Cerakoted, baby!



Ok... so the cerakoted upper is out in OR getting barrelled. I'll paste the whole thing when it's done though.

Thanks. I used rustoleum camo spray paint because the local store had it and I have had good experiences with their products in the past.

My 2 newest builds - a Mega MA-TEN .308 and a Noveske Gen2 FFL with MUR upper. Both rifles have Troy TRX Extreme Handguards and AAC Muzzlebrakes.

The 5.56 rifle will be my new duty rifle, replacing my wife's AR that I've been carrying for the past couple of months (I had been carrying an ACR but came back to the AR platform). The T-1 will be getting some paint, just don't have the right mount on hand for it yet.

The .308 is going to be used in a hunting/LR plinking role. I've got a 1k yard range and I'm hoping it's up to the task of ringing a steel gong at that range consistently.

The rifles were painted with Duracoat Tactical Flat Dark Earth. It's very, very flat paint and has almost no reflectivity at all. I'm probably going to sponge over with some browns, tans, and greens when I've got more time on my hands. I've never seen Larue's UDE up close, but from pictures this seems very close to that color. You can see the FDE plug on the ACS stock for contrast with Magpul's FDE.
