Nice vid i just ordered the same scope wondering how you liked it? When you painted the scope did you paint over the sight adjustments numberscouldn't tell from the video
great vid on how to. Question, does spraying with krylon all over effect functionality in anyway? Ive been thinkin of putting a camo job exactly like the one u did in the video, thanks again for that, just wondering how it held up or if u did anything to it afterwards?
@hajime21sac I covered all movable parts or took them out. And to be totally honest I would not do the barrel. Adding accessories later will scratch and over time the heat will have an effect on the paint. I did this one for a friend who insisted that the entire weapon be covered.
@UGADTdawg71 I used Krylon. But there were some issues that I knew would happen. I did the rifle for a friend and he wanted to do the entire piece. The problem was/is that the paint does not still to the barrel very well. I wanted to do just the stock and reciever.... it would have been ok that way im sure. Anyway if you are going to do the etire rifle look into Duracoat instead.
@FlammingMen1 Do it man, I painted mine after watching this and it was a breeze.. i screwed up a few times but all you gotta do is just paint over it and start again.
Question: I noticed when you painted it you first did tan, then sprayed on the black with the stencils.. then after you're done you show it and the tan appears to be darker, almost a brown. did you mist it all with black to make it darker, or does it just get that dark when it dries?
Ya know they make a special paint for plastic bumpers and the idea is that the plastic moves and that paint doesent crack like reg paint would its flexable im going to research that..
if the coat doesent last or is easly scratched you might get an epoxie primer they do have it in spray cans and it may make your coat more durable.shit im gona do mine in automotive paint ill make a vid hell yeah man Thats cool...
Ok first question what type of paint. then what is the durability .because I paint cars and well lots of stuff and they make prety good hardners you can add to auto motive paints and now im wondering.
@THESOBPOSSE Its Krylon Ultra flat.. I used it on that .17 and I tell ya what the stuff is pretty damn durable. I used 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of paint on the each one... Of course just like cars if something hard scratches it then thats just the way things go.. but so far the 17 is holding up WAY better than I expected. With the AR I'm not so sure about the heat from the barrel if you just rack off 2 mags as fast as you can but we will see...lol
Keep up the great vids!

I'm looking to paint my AR.. What kind of paint do you think is the best to use? Also what parts need to be removed/covered during the painting?

@Metzgermeist It dried darker .. and some of that may be that the lighting had changed from start to finish too.
