Malig8r Posted July 12, 2015 Report Posted July 12, 2015 Welcome to the forum from Washington. I laughed at the fde reference...nice.
TomVMurphyTX Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Posted August 26, 2015 Well finally got the Dark Earth ANA from testers tried out.What do you all think? th Ana 617 Testors (http://www.amazon.com/Earth-Testors-Acrylic-Plastic-Model/dp/B0035LOYEE/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=AIPKL3KI5K5DH)
slugger43 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Yeah, this FDE thing is interesting to say the least. My latest is a half-and-half in black and FDE, and the FDE parts don't match. I hosed some of the parts down with a can of Durakote, which got "some of the parts partly matched". Probably the only way to get it all to match is to hose it all down with the same brand of finish. Personally, I think your rifle looks fine, but I'm not all wound up in getting a perfect match.
TomVMurphyTX Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Posted August 28, 2015 I was scouring the web looking at onesy twosy comparisons of colors. There was one post (that i have promptly lost) of a bunch (like 6 or 8) paint swatches on two different plates comparing the FDE's, tans, and sands. I was just trying to point things out when I find them. I don't have a lot of faith in the Acrylic for staying power either.Do not get me wrong I love this gun. I made it. It had to have some parts on it damn the color match. Like the CAA pistol grip. Since I was able to shoot so much better on my Franken AR-15 with a the one I put on it, I wanted one for the 308AR.
98Z5V Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 Cerakote FDE, and Cerakote Magpul FDE - those are two different colors. I'm just sayin'...
