Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SoloDallas: Any suggestions for painting it? Depends on what you’re looking for. If you want it to be authentic buy krylon camo paint(that’s what they have at the px) throw your rifle on a big piece of plywood and paint. Use vegetation that’s near by for pattern or empty out your mesh laundry bag with your dirty pts and use that. Don’t hang it up with fishing wire. Don’t try and make every inch have an even coat of paint etc The shittier and more half assed it is the more authentic it is. |

Yeah, I went to paint something a few weeks ago and the same can I've been using for a few years stopped spraying as did the other one of the same color. I grabbed a different color I had on hand that had never been used and it sprayed fine. Both colors were the same age, but the field drab stopped working. |

Both end up looking good. Or even black isn't that bad really. I do want to see the crazy, cooked off colors on the suppressor - but I think it's going to be better starting with a lighter color (i.e., FDE). I just made a massive mistake getting black. Might go for spray paint first. Will see how it goes once it's outa jail! |
