I'm really torn on painting a 2800$ rifle. Just looking for thoughts, opinions, and pic. TIA
I have rattle caned three of my AR's and one long range rifle. None of them cost $2800 or even close! I love a good rattle can job on a gun, but a $2800 rifle, probably not. Do a cerakote job on it or something high end.Lonestar-aught-six said:

I don't think I will but there's a part of me that doesn't want to screw up the valve.

Yeah, the long range gun I am talking about is a REM SPS Tactical that I had a little bit of work done to. Still about half of what you are talking about. But, to each their own. If you do it, post pictures!Lonestar-aught-six said:JB!98 said:I have rattle caned three of my AR's and one long range rifle. None of them cost $2800 or even close!

Just to be clear it's scope included. Probably 2000$ in just the gun.
You have essentially just "Put in the tip." Go ahead and go all the way. The wear gives it some character and can always be touched up. AR's I think are meant to be rattle caned. They just look better to me, it gives them an identity. Just do the whole damn thing and work on it from there.tandy miller said:
I just did the stuff that would be easy to swap for now. I want to see how it holds up and wears before I do the whole thing
I will keep up the sexual innuendo. I realize that this is your first time and that can be scary, it was for me. Take my advice and just go all in. I tried the netting, I tried the placing leaves in certain places and then moving them, none of it was satisfying. Go to Wal-Mart and buy every color of flat camo Krylon that they have.tandy miller said:
I'd like to do this pattern but not sure how it was done. I really like multicam. Only thing I can think is make stickers, and repaint the whole gun diff color each time you put a new batch of stickers on
I believe Primary Arms sells stencils for various types of camo. Might be just what you're looking for.tandy miller said:

You can buy all kinds of vinyl camo stencils on Etsy as well as lots of websites or if you know someone with a Silhoutte or cricut vinyl cutter, you can cut you own.
I did my Grendel with Duracoat using a cheap harbor freight Airbrush kit and Kryptek stencils that I cut on our vinyl cutter. Doing another, I would consider just rattle canning it as well but the Duracoat has been super durable so far. This was my first one, so not perfect but worked out pretty well.

There he is, the Buzzkill!AggieBarstool said:
Nothing makes a weapon look like a cheap toy more than a rattle can paint job, good or not.
Take that in to consideration.

It was a joke.
…probably.
We will see when I get around to painting
