New rattlecan paintjob

[Warguy]

Well i just got my AR but i wanted to be different, i like the magpul stuff but cant really afford it right now, and i kinda wanted to use a different color, and i thought the dark grey/silver looked nice. So let the flaming begin but hopefully not because i actually think it came out really good and I like the color so let me know what you guys think!!!

I know i havent painted the BUIS yet but im going to i just didnt have time to get to it today.




I know in the second pic it looks shiny cause of the flash of the camera but it not glossy it just kinda appears that way in the second pic...

I like this color combo. It came out great

[Capt Jack]

Yup, looks good man! This is a nice alternative to buying new stuff, plus you can use your $$ for ammo!

What do you use to paint your gun?

is it a bad thing? i had it a little farther forward because when it lays down its really close to the charging handle and when i have my RDS on there and its laying flat if i have a FTF or FTE and i have to pull the CH i dont want to touch the BUIS just in case i hit the adjustment knobs and knock it off zero....that was my thinking anyway.

Is there a difference with it being 2 notches more forward or is it just matter of opinion?

Thanks!! Ya i have two motorcycles that are silver and black so i kinda thought that the colors would go together no problem, and i thought they go together nicely. Plus i didnt want it to be like everyone else's with the green or tan, but i didnt want it to be to crazy and standoutish either.

Yup, looks good man! This is a nice alternative to buying new stuff, plus you can use your $$ for ammo!

Thanks! Ya and i didnt really want to buy the regular green or tan stuff so its all good. I know now i can convince my wife that with the savings of not buying new stuff for my gun i should be able to get like 10 boxes of ammo because i was a good boy and didnt blow more money lol

I just used KRYLON made for plastic kind from walmart, it was like 5 bucks.

I cleaned the parts and let dry then hung them on a hanger and did one coat, then waited 20 min and did another coat, then waited 5 hours and put it together. Its not fully dry till like 36 hours but i just put it together and set it aside so i wont use it till its really supposed to be dry, which is later on today so then ima take it out!!!
