After mulling it over and seeing many camo threads, I've decided I want a FDE AR. I'm going to build one, so if I get my parts FDE, it will probably limit my options. I've seen some videos on cerakote and duracote, and it doesn't look crazy hard. Have any of you guys done this, and is it worthwhile? It'll be tedious, because I'm not going to want shit in the mag well or the pin holes, etc. If I find parts I want in FDE, can I expect it to turn black with wear? How do they achieve OD Green or FDE at the factory?

I remember someone posting the effects of color vs. accuracy, but I can't seem to find the related image.

You cant get more black than a white AR. You may as well put a gold plated grip on it and a spinning hand guard.

I have mixed results with duracoat. the FDE stuck fine to the rifle but the Battleship grey came right off my handgun.

>>32237516
Looks good, from here. What did you do with the one on the right?
>>
>>32237414
Used some 50 grit sandpaper then 5 coats of paint

the 14.5" rifle was rattle canned. both of these m&p's were duracoated at the same time yet the blue one started peeling, it's even worse now.
>>
>>32237613
Sorry to keep harassing you. Did you use acetone?
>>
>>32237633
Seems like FDE sticks better for some reason?
>>
>>32237801
Just a wipe of mineral spirits after sanding
>>
>>32237516
Bottom AR looks p shit desu

There is a retarded amount of FDE stuff available, unless you're wanting it 100% FDE, like buffer tube and barrel. But just shop around and you can get FDE everything.
>>
>>32237801
Make sure you use a lot of pressure sanding or the paint won't stick good
>>
FDE IS A MEME

Fucking stop it.

It's definitely more available than ever, but I've run across some stuff I like not in FDE. I'm not sure about barrel. OP pic looks good, but black on FDE always looks good. Black really pops against snow, though. Would like to not make it too easy. FDE blends decently with a lot of stuff. Was looking at OD at one point, but it blends terribly with even foliage.
>>
>>32229116
honestly just buy black parts and cerakote the whole thing. Every company that sells "fde" parts sells them in a slightly different shade. The main purpose of FDE aftermarket parts should be to keep you from having to re-coat a whole rifle that's already been done in FDE if you decide to swap a single part out.
>>
>>32237414
Had a local guy cerakote it.
>>
I kinda wanna build and cerakote an AR based on this airshit
Are the Gen 2 UBRs out yet? they're supposed to be 20% lighter
>>

>stop liking what i don't like

>>32238165
Makes sense. But I thought labeling shit FDE meant it had to match the trademark color? If that shade business is true, that throws a wrench in things. Guess I go black then cerakote
