Re: Camo Painted Rifle - I finally did it!
Looks good, EM! I'd be tempted to drag it through that gravel a little to give it a battle worn look on top of the camo!

Thank you!
Haha!
Well, my initial plan would have given it a worn look.
In the Arizona Response Systems video (part 2) he shows how he uses Scotch Brite pads to scuff off some paint in the high wear areas.
With as much paint as I have on there now, I'd need a grinding disc! LOLI called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: Camo Painted Rifle - I finally did it!
Gonna do my other 7.62x39 rifle with the same colors.
I'll take what I learned and modify my application - probably make the color blocks wider for more effective camouflage vs what we think "looks cool". Instead of applying it with a brush, I'll spray the main bands of color, then use the sponge paint technique again to give it a similar style.
Time will tell if I work up the nerve to do my x39 pistol in the same manner.
I wanted all of them to look similar so I know without looking that they are x39 guns.
Right now my method of quick visual ID is to have brown slings on all x39 guns.
Since I can't get any more of this Aervoe paint, I'll switch to another color palette for the 5.56 family.
I'll probably look into Brownell's Alumahyde paint. Lots of colors and more durable than Rustoleum.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!
