That came out pretty damn nice! I'm not just saying that because of the Bushmills either.[Tooth]

Half tempted to ask you how much you would charge to do that up for someone elses AR?

Thanks guys. I just used krylon camo paints, and cleaned the gun with brakleen before painting. I used a wire coat hanger to hang it from a tree so i could do all sides at once. I'd be nervous to do it on someone elses lol. I'm sure it won't last near as long as duracoat, but I could always remove or re paint it.

I like it, but are those black flakes in the paint or chips?

The spots are intentional brown splatter. It doesn't look good in pics but in person it looks better. ( I maybe shouldn't have done it cause if you don't know it was intentional you might think the paint went crazy lol)

Is it me or does the pattern and colors remind everyone else of a chocolate / vanilla ice cream bar?

Would love to see it in a natural background :) Doesn't blend so well with da' leather!

Still for a first run, well done
