Nickona Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Hi guys.. I'm thinking of camoing my M249 which is pretty much like this one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/PEO_M249_Para_ACOG.jpg Basically has anyone got some pics to show.. google isn't being very helpful atm and any suggestions on going about it.. Also loadout wise I'm looking to use it for various loadouts inc MARSOC, SEALs and UKSF with both desert and woodland loadouts so that probably complicates things.. I was thinking CB/OD So any suggestions or help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Nick Link to post Share on other sites
kojak Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Mine got a light coat of FDE alumahyde early on: Updated parts were sprayed with Krylon khaki then cleaned, and the FDE has worn naturally: It's not full camo, but is a little harder to spot than the unpainted gun. Here's a current shot of it, stripped down for a long OP in harsh terrain: Link to post Share on other sites
Nickona Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Cheers looks really good.. How did you artificially wear it? Also how do you find the sling? I've never used one with mine so just though I'd ask before I got one.. Link to post Share on other sites

I've never used one with mine so just though I'd ask before I got one.. Thanks; with Krylon or Aervoe the easiest way is to clean the paint right off with IPA wipes before it dries. The VTAC sling (the Multicam one) is really handy for long hikes between objectives. Link to post Share on other sites

xrayhead Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Not sure what you are after, its not a support weapon but I did my first spay job yesterday. I used a base coat of Black, Olive top coat sprayed over hammock netting and a very slight dusting of Khaki (didn't need the Khaki really). Link to post Share on other sites
