So we don't muck up the pic thread I thought I'd start a thread to debate the merits of painting your AR in a camo or other scheme.

I don't paint mine. I've been tempted. But I have a checkered history of trading off what I own for something else and I think rattle-canning your AR is a good way to 100% devalue it unless you have it professionally done.

Having said that, I do own a Colt LE6920 that has a complete Vietnam tiger stripe camo job from the factory. I consider that a keeper and would be my contribution to the "just have to have a camo AR" club.

So, what do you think?

To paint or not to paint?
