Miker Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Rustoleum (Spelling) Camo paints as well as their flat paints (for more variety of color) work very well. Link to post Share on other sites
crackisbad Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 First Paintjob on a bunch of left over parts that i had laying around. I just realized that i had enough extra parts just sitting around for me to build a complete rifle  This was a tester as i am not overly fond of guns that have EVERYTHING completely painted so i wanted to see what it would look like with some black accent parts. but in looking at it now it seems just a bit too...plain, so i am looking for some advice . please keep in mind that i live in washington where its green all year long so tan/desert will not work at all. i was thinking about dusting parts with some brown or doing some black tiger stripes but wanted to bounce some ideas with people here.  i will be whoring these pics across a couple of relevant picture threads so bear with me please kthnxbi!        sorry for lots of pics but this is a picture thread so sue me Link to post Share on other sites

Souske Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 what color was the frame again please? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â I used Testor's Dark Tan.

Echo Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Nice job on the paint, I would recommend painting the receiver as well. Most likely all that black will stick out like a sore thumb. Â Also, did you drop a VSR barrel assembly inside an L96? That is indeed very interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I used Testor's Dark Tan. Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â They have that as a spray? Hmmm. time to start hunting here. >_< Link to post Share on other sites

Slash' Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I think you could do with repositioning the ACOG a little, but apart from that it's gorgeous. Link to post Share on other sites
Tallbloke Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I wouldn't move the ACOG as then you can't see down it. think eye relief. Â Looks the shizzle mate!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Slash' Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I meant move the lower (dovetail to weaver) mount forward, and then the actual unit back - That's doable, right? Â Just feel it shows a little too much bare rail at the front (a cardinal sin for M4 owners, as we all know ) Link to post Share on other sites

Souske Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Partially inspired by Lord Sex's suggestion....though I went off on a serious tangent. Lol, this almost one of a kind paint job. Â Â Â Â Edited July 31, 2007 by Souske Link to post Share on other sites
Wraith18A Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Nice paint job, but if you're going to dummy-cord the Aimpoint, its best to dummy-cord it to the gun... Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Nice paint job, but if you're going to dummy-cord the Aimpoint, its best to dummy-cord it to the gun... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Haha, yea. I normally have it tied to the carbine, but since I removed the AP for painting, I hastily slapped it on w/o tying it down to the gun. When the AP's not on anything, I wrap the chord around the AP itself. Link to post Share on other sites
[k44] Obi Wahn Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 obi whan how did you do that spray paint job? its ******* sweet ! Quil <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks. It is no spray paint, search for a posting of mine here containing the word "plaka". I once described here how this is done. Link to post Share on other sites
