Re: Camo Painted Rifle - I finally did it!
I thought your camo would blend in with the rocks you usually use for pics...

Re: Camo Painted Rifle - I finally did it!
Why did you not paint the grip. Just curious as I plan on rattle canning one myself.

Re: Camo Painted Rifle - I finally did it!
How did you do it? Looks too professional to be done by eye and some cans of spray paint. What kind of paint did you use?

Re: Camo Painted Rifle - I finally did it!
I didn't want to affect the gripping surface.
Initially, it had a black rubber Ergo Grip on it and I sort of brushed some paint onto it at the top to try and blend it in.
I took some pics in the back yard against some greenery and the black grip just stuck out like a sore thumb, so I ordered a Magpul MOE+ (with the rubber overmold) in OD green. It blends more with the paint colors and I retain the grip that I like.
That said, a plastic MOE grip may have been OK if painted. Not sure.
The fore grip was painted and I did so lightly to try to retain as much of the texture as possible. Seems OK. I don't "grip" it anyway - it's more of a hand stop/point to pull back on when gripping the forearm.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!
