Any of you guys painted a rifle with a law folder? Should I tape anything off (hinge, seam, button) or just send it?

View Quote I have not painted a law folder... but, considering the number of rifles I've painted along with their charging handles, safety selectors, bolt catches, mag releases, triggers, etc. with no issues, I wouldn't bother taping anything off unless you want to for aesthetic reasons. |

Attached File My daughter "helped" so the paint pooled in a couple of spots and it has a little more brown than I was planning. Edit: don't know why the picture quality sucks on the uploads? |

I got a smoking deal from a guy in NC, I see, or saw, one here on the EE for like $150 maybe? The rest of the gun Lower is B5 PSA with BKings bcg and Breek Warhammer micro, upper is BKings assembled 14.5 mid length with Dead Air three prong flash hider. Paint is Rust-Oleum camo colors in a 6 pk on Amazon. I had that for several years before I grew a pair. Unfortunately, I have not shot it yet so I have no idea how functional it is. I want to paint a Rhodesian one day, just don't have the colors yet. |

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Hope it shoots as well as it looks.

View Quote It's only been on there two days, but so far, it's as durable as any other spray paint I've used on a gun. Originally Posted By SecretSquirell: Looks like it might be a bit shiny but that could just be lighting and how much you laid down. Looks great. View Quote You are correct. Both the Rapco, and LVP paints I've used, even in their flat offerings have that little bit of a shine to them. Ive read that Rapco and LVP coatings are the same thing, made by the same manufacturer, so that would make sense. I do have a can of Rapco's "lusterless" Olive crab, that appears much flatter than the Field Drab, and Forrest Green. I may hit the green areas with the OD, and see what that does, or consider a flat clear coat. I really wish they offered the field drab in lusterless. RIP Aervoe |

I've noticed with Aervoe that if I'm a ways back that it results in a more matte finish. |
