    Don't hydrodip guns you plan on running hard.. It just doesnt stand up. I even coated my hydrodip with Duracoat clear and it still comes off in the areas you mess with a bunch.

    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    Nice thing about a krylon job it can be redone as easily as it was done the first time.

    I did a cav arms lower. I don't think I would start with a Tavor.

    Thanks for the inputs. WhileI think a sandy camo job would be pretty cool on the Tavor, I'm hesitant to make it the first one. I'd forgotten I have an M&P 10 MOE that would also be nice to recolor so I'll start with the Magpul mags (when I actually have time to do it) and go from there.

    I practiced on the kids BB gun then went for it. Non-chlorinated brake cleaner, let dry, then sprayed away. Threw down a few handfuls of grass and weeds, change colors and repeat. Let cure in the sun for a few days then oiled them up. That was last summer. 1200 rds in the LMT and about 150 in the 870 since then. So far so good. Only minor scratches. I don't mind them though. They're tools, not toys.

    It is not that hard once you learn the tricks. Electrical tape is what I use to mask. Gives a better seal, so less bleed. A few coats thin is better than one thick. Might consider a clear or translucent epoxy for the final coat if you don't want it to change. Here is a handguard I just did for FNH. Black primer coat, silver pattern, translucent blue, then a final with a gritted epoxy.

    What happened to Birddog1911? Doesn't he do custom paint jobs? Maybe I'm mistaken.
