Painted the AR

[cch2a]

So made the jump and sprayed one of my ARs flat khaki and flat dark forest green. The green looks more grey/green than green which I like. I know some don't like krylon on guns but this is kind of a beater AR so figured I would try something different. Considering I've never painted anything in my life I am pretty happy with how it turned out. This gun will never be sold so figured I didn't have to worry about resale value.

looks good to me.

Looks good. I've painted two and ended up selling both. What kind of scope is that?

It looks good!

Major Kong - Leupold Mark AR mod 1 1.5-4x spr reticle green. Nice for the price point of just under $400.

Thanks for the comments!

Great job and color balance is just right. Not too much of either.

I sprayed one of mine a little while back and it looks very similar to yours. I think yours turned out quite well. I didn't use Krylon brand paint but I have shot mine 3 times since painting it and it all seems to be holding up well so far painted barrel and all. I hope yours works out the same.

If thats a beater id like to see what your pristine black rifles are. Great paint job!

Hehe I like that 18volt Dewalt/magpul combo.

Looks great!

I think that might be my next optic. Edited October 30, 2013 by Batman

Lol, yeah the 18volt battery powers the optic through a Magpul adapter (they make everything). A little heavy but provides a nuclear glow for those really sunny days.

Beater AR was probably a poor choice of words. I really meant that this rifle gets beat on a lot, it's been a great rifle. M&P15t I got back in I think 2007, it has been through a lot. I in no way meant it was of poor quality, the M&P line rifles are what I always recommend when people ask me.

Oh forgot to mention I used Krylon as a generic term, I actually used Rustoleum camo paint. Edited October 30, 2013 by cch2a
