YWHIC Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Well I was browsing online and saw a bunch of different camo type ideas for AR's..So I bought some Aervoe Paint in basically Desert USMC Marpat colors..I got Aervoe Urban Tan, Light Coyote Tan, Highland, Field Drab, Light Tan.. and I bought locally 1 can of Krylon 'Olive' CAMO.. I also have cans of primer white and fla black if needed..Here is a pic with Urban Tan as a base, and just Coyote for the overlay..I used some mesh material and some fake FERNs..This was my crappy attempt at Digi.. but I have 0 patience.. on my old Red Ryder BB gun.. (I do realize I have to use MULTIPLE layers for the proper effect)..Think I am going to stick with plant and simple mesh on this..Stay tuned..
bgc Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 :o You painted a "Red Rider BB gun"? The humanity :-[Keep us posted. I curious to know how the paint wears.
Robocop1051 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 Anyone know a good source to send a part in for DuraCoat? I just want my handguard painted, but everyone I talk to wants $150?!?!? Is it really that expensive? I'm trying one more local source tomorrow.
imschur Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 DIY it with a kit straight from Lauer http://www.lauerweaponry.com/ Anyone know if YWHIC has a cat or dog?
bgc Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 Are ya thinkin of sugestin a practice pattern on the family pet?"Tactical Kitty"
YWHIC Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 My 1981 Red Ryder has a broken stock and does not shoot ANYTHING anymore.. (too many times shooting pebbles I guess)..Painting today.. will post pics hopefully later today..
imschur Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 Are ya thinkin of sugestin a practice pattern on the family pet?"Tactical Kitty"Im thinking more about prevention ;D I look forward to the pictures
YWHIC Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 No digi today..just some Pine branchs, thin mesh, and some sponge techniques..overall .. very :)
YWHIC Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 Thanks got it back home and changed the pattern TWICE so far..calling it done.. current and FINAL pics coming when dry..this is exhausting..
98Z5V Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Looks good, man - nice job. <thumbsup>I've probably put 1k through one of my 5.56 guns since I painted it, and it's been holding up just fine. I've got before pics when I first sprayed it, but I haven't updated anything since. I'll try to do a before and after comparo and put it up here. Krylon Khaki worked well.
YWHIC Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Posted June 5, 2011 Here are the final pics..the Field Drab 'brown' is not dark nor shiny.. its the flash and the camera angle..[img width=810 height=607]http://www.executiveprotectionservice.us/forums/RIGHTFINAL.jpgI wanted a 'muted' setting with a touch of foliage and some Olive under a dust coating.. and I threw in some mesh net here and there..
RayGun19 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Nice. Was there a reason you picked primarily gray and brown?I've been thinking about doing this on my AR and my Remmy. I guess I shouldn't care, but since they're MINE and not Uncle Sams I, for some reason, have reservations about doing it. I have the paint though........
YWHIC Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Posted June 5, 2011 I went with primary of Light Tan.. then dabbed some OD and some Field Drab (aka brownish).. then did some Urban Tan (which is I guess gray-ish).. then finished with some Light Coyote Tan..I figured the LEAF patterns would break it up a little bit..I have 11 acres in West TX so I think TAN and BROWN's would be more prominant then alot of O'Drab (aka green) colors..just finished the four 20 round MagPul LR20 Mags matching the theme..
YWHIC Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Posted June 5, 2011 Here is the final with Mags in place and outside.. <thumbsup>again.. The Field Drab Brown is not Dark.. its just the angle..
hobbesgunner Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Very cool....i don't have the nerve to start out on a weapon....gonna practice technique and patterns on ammo cans first ....
RayGun19 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 Ahh, I thought it might be your local terrain. That makes total sense! <thumbsup>
YWHIC Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks folks..Just added some Desert Camo Para/550 cord to the FF tube..now complete.. (sorry for the bad pics)..
YWHIC Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Posted June 7, 2011 Heres a pic with a real camera.. (again the BROWN is not that dark)the cord is still wet (I just applied).. has to dry and shrink to be ultra-tight..
