Painted AR's - show 'em off!

I like em. My opinion, but I'm not into the pretty cerakote or dip jobs. Looks fake. Yours have somewhat of an ATACS look to them. Nice work. On a side note, is cerakote and dip jobs really paint?

Thank you for the kind words. I tried to make the areas that would have shadow lighter (lower areas) and the areas that would have direct sunlight or light in general darker. I may add some darker splotches to the top of both carbines. No cerkote on these rifles at all, just black original metal and furniture. I used some home made stencils and also a sponge for some of the patterns. All paint is Aervoe rattle can.

I've always wondered how much DSA charges to duracoat a rifle, they have some cool patterns.

I would say cerakote is but dipping probably not. Here is my dipped ar

Get a few cans of paint, degreaser, roll of wide masking tape to make stencils and mask of area not painted and you're golden. Try on a magazine first to get the hang of it. Rattle can painting isn't much money wise. Duracoat gets pricier but I prefer it personally.
