Dang! That's pretty as hell. Any info on the stencils / colors / process you used?

Thanks N2CH.

I had a buddy of mine at Tactical Coordination do the paint job. Next time I see him I will ask him your question.

Any suggestions for prepping a scope for krylon? It has glossy anodizing on it now, so it definitely needs something.

Should I just hit it with some wet/dry and shoot it?

Just wanted to post a quick tip for those who have had paint chipping problems in wear areas like around the mag well.

A solution used by the auto industry could help here.
3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film

It's used by many for preventing rock chips in susceptible areas of cars such as the airdams or rear fenders of vehicles like Porsche's.

If anyone is using automotive paint or other paint out of a spray gun / airbrush (vs a spray can), another thing you can do is add a plasticizer to the paint. A lot of RC Glider people I used to hang with would use automotive paint on the gliders, but to prevent chipping etc they would add a plasticizer to the paint to make it more "bendable".

You know....that sparked my brain....Krylon makes a paint for painting plastic outdoor furniture. That probably has plasticizer in it to keep it from cracking/flaking off the furniture as it flexes.

Not really going to help me on my project, but maybe someone else.

is this duracoat? looks awesome!

Post your painted AR's here and possibly a brief description on your inspiration or process.

Here's mine:
Started with a new build and decided to use Brownell's Alumahide in Caote and Dark Earth. I also decide to use both colors and use the darker tone as contrast.











After a few weeks, I decided to paint my other AR this time in OD. I gambled and used a new paint called Painter's Choice (Oregano) and went with an old OD look.
