I want to camo my AR but am on a budget. What do you guys think of spray paint? Also a thread for home made camo rifles. (Pic related, my AR I want to paint)

my last unit in the army let us do it, we just had to take out the bolts and tape the insides up so paint couldn't get inside and fuck up the trigger assembly and shit
Do it pussy
>>33938756

Dont be a pussy and just do it.
depends. Its easy to take off but extremely easy to look like shit/ not blend
I'm actually pretty pleased to see how it turned out

The fuck kind of world are we living in when the army is letting people spray paint their weapons?

This.
I just spent about 3 hours scrubbing spray paint off my rifle. Didn't harm the finish and it's back to normal, but I don't know what the fuck I was thinking.

It's been going on for a while, carrying a solid black object with a recognizable silhouette kind of defeats the purpose of wearing camo.
any articles or readable guides for painting?
i don't wanna watch some fudd on youtube.

It's spray paint. You were a boring teenager weren't you?

Yeah, I don't camo my firearms, but since I'm a city boy, and squirrels are evil little shits who fuck up my garden, and since there's a bylaw prohibiting discharging any sort of weapon in city limits, I kinda camo'd my silenced PCP carbine. It's only hitting with 10fpe but that'senough on squirrels with perfect placement. Light sand and dull green on a stone textured base coat worked out pretty good to not make a wire stocked short carbine look like a gun. So no SWAT visits so far. So yeah.
As for how-to, mostly surface prep with acetone, shake the bloody hell out of your rattle cans to ensure good blending with chemical driers and avoid months of sticky paint, and Krylon clear satin a few coats over the colours. Or go with engine block paint. VHT dries really hard. Limited colours though.

Nah. Just some biege sand for the base, dull green narrow diagonals, not worth setting up to photograph. It doesn't stand out is all.
