Thank you for your Input.

No one has any input....really....come on now..

Type "Painting" in the search engine for titles only and you'll come up with at least what kinds of paint people use. I don't paint so I don't know.

[Paul]

ok thanks for that....will do.

Has any body done this to their own gun? Yes, lots have done this. The search will even point out a few here that are subject matter experts in this area

What kind of paint would you recommend? Most use Duracoat or Keracoat and stencils.

what are the do's and don't s for this kind of project? Don't do an AR for your first paint job, don't do it without the right equipment, don't do it without careful planning and practicing on material you don't mind screwing up a little.

Thank you for your Input.

Aervoe
Krylon
Rustoleum
Etc.

Degrease it (Simple Green works well), and have at it. Don't like how it turned out? -strip the paint off and go again.

Practice on other things until you get a technique you like the results of. Ammo cans work quite well.

I personally am a big advocate of Lauer Duracoat. Have done many for people and they look awesome!

I did some research on this not too long ago. Head over to YouTube and type in tri-cam or digital camo paint, something to that effect. There are a few decent videos on there that are pretty informative to the process, most are crap.
