Puting camo on a ar platform

I know "search" could not get it to work!

Need some help doing a good camo job on my ar rifle,
fixed stock, mm grip, free floated barrel, barrel is in ss and bull,
a bit forward heavy but with a bypod is good.

Kinda like this?
20" SS bull barrel upper, free float handguard, the same as you.

First you gotta pick a paint/finish. Then what's gonna be your base color? You shoot the whole thing with the base color. Then it's stencil time, leaves, paper plate cut outs, netting, what ever.
Then figure out what secondary colors you want. Is the camo for hunting? Do you just want a cool looking gun? Camo jobs are easy, prep is the key.

So a good qualty paint is good to go even with gun cleaners?

Not sure what this dura coat is, is it paint or more like epoxy?
Just not sure what is what, what works and what does not.

But yes gun would kinda like yours but a short mag (only 5 rounder), but the camo would be deffernt. More tan like the "golden" grass here in ca, maybe a small bit of green?.

I had bad lighting in that picture. The base coat is coyote tan and the secondary colors are OD green and brown. I have long dry grass and lots of oak trees and brush.
Dura coat is paint, my rifle is just a rattle can job. Dura coat is avalible in 200-300 colors and can be mixed for custom colors.
If you a DIY guy check Brownell. Dura coat, Gun Kote, Moly resin all need to be applied with an airbrush. Brownell carries oven cure stuff and air cure stuff. The biggest part is the prep work, if your prep job is crap your paint job will be crap.
