micmacman Posted October 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 was curious if they cerakoted the rifle tan and then did the camo accents , or if they did the whole thing with a spray bomb product themselves , i use to be big on Alumihyde2 until i had a bad reaction to a carbon cleaner that stripped it like it was designed specifically to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I Cerakote the fuk out of my guns, every chance I get. They start out with my custom mix of Sexual Chocolate. After that, I never know where it's gonna go. Here's how this one started out, then ended up. That was Sexual Chocolate. But I fucked with it after that.

98Z5V Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I have a pretty badass "sponge-camo" job in a Savage FV-SR somewhere here too. All dirt-colors. Search it out, that thing came out sweet. P.S. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't paint a LaRue rifle or an Athlon scope - you can, but you better ABIDE by what Athlon says when you Cerakote their scopes...

shaffe48 Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Camo paint rattle can cerkote whatever would work. I employed a different approach which cost me about $30 and involved a mossy oak graphic gear skin, and one of two provided sheets covered the receiver and stock. I used regular camo tape on the barrel end, scope, and grip. I then used camo netting and rubber bands on the handguard/rail such that the ventilation still works. I cheat with the bipod, sling, magazines, and light mount. These I rattle canned The plus if this approach is that when winter hits I can easily switch out the tape and netting to make it more current with the season. Plus you aren't worrying about f-ing up the paint job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerX Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Here's a thread I started a while ago, asking for examples of camo examples: Camo photos I actually should update that thread with mine, now that it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
