Materials USED:

>Car Trunk NET

RUSTOLEOM
> Camo Flat DEEP FOREST GREEN
> Camo Flat KHAKI
> Camo Flat Earth Brown
> SATIN Dark Taupe

Start with 2-3 Colored Base Coats on large strokes:


When Dry, Apply Net. MAKE SURE THE NET IS tight against the surface or the lines are gonna fade.


With net in place spray a DIFFERENT Color than the base. example If OD Green Base, choose Tan or brown or khaki)



Then wait to dry, and see where it needs more lines or different colors to your tastes.
Example, This side is good to go:

this side has too much khaki:

apply net spray with OD or Brown:


Rifle should look like this:



Right now my rifles have more Khaki (the lightest color) and OD green to match the Foliage.
In Fall, I plan on re-spraying the Khaki and GREEN Areas with BROWN to match the Foliage.


This was my first time so I just did the upper:

I loved the wear on the old paint job but man the new one looks fantastic. I just tried doing a multicam job on mine and I suck at it.

Probably because krylon comes off easy on the grip.
I know all the rifles I painted the grip would wear down to the orginal color with the first shooting session.

the worn look is commonly a goal when painting a rifle I thought.

The goal is to break up the shape and color of the weapon. The people creating a worn look artificially, whether it be scrubbing some paint off or throwing their rifle down the driveway, are probably better suited by another popular AR focused forum.
