I just couldn't leave well enough alone I did what some might think a bit crazy, added some bright yellow. Yup.... yellow to the 'pattern' Attached File As I was reading an old book on camouflage in nature, in particular about disruptive camo in nature. What may not always seem logical actually works. With some random spots of yellow, it really helps break up the outline of the rifle. A perfect example it the Belgian Jigsaw pattern camo. It looks silly in the open, but it just plain works well when they are in the woods. ( Here's a link to an Arfcom thread on it ) Now I took these real quick this morning, and really want to get a good shot of it in some woods or underbrush. But these do show that the does work to trick the eye and break up the outline Attached File Attached File Attached File I'm going to stop experimenting with this one (before I totally screw it up ) and give it a few coats of clear matte and call it good |

I was going for the look as seen on a lot of the ST6/DEVGRU guns. I've given up on that as I can never get the colors right. The desert pattern does me no good here in Northern Virginia so this is for purely aesthetic, tacti-cool purposes. The optics are not painted because I just can't bring myself to mess with those for some reason. Maybe because I swap optics between my firearms a lot. The paint used was Aervoe desert sand, light coyote and coyote. This time I used a stencils from freedomstencils.com instead of the Primary Arms stencil. You can see the difference between a stick on stencil and the Primary Arms stencil. The mag was painted previously using the Primary Arms stencil and the rest of the AR pistol used the stick on type stencils. Aervoe is some serious stuff, incredibly hard to remove and very toxic (as per the warnings on the can). Being that I live in a small apartment with no options of painting outside anywhere, I had to plastic up my bathroom and get a respirator; the whole nine yards. Success though with minimal damage to my bathroom other than the fan vent is now brown from the paint dust. On a side note, what removes Aervoe paint? Gotta clean up some surfaces in my bathroom. https://i.imgur.com/oafs5Vq.jpg View Quote |

I do too actually, but I think I just need some time to break in the new paint.
