- Start date
maybe in the room where the pool table is going oh and maybe ill camo up the pool table as well and see how much trouble i get into 
yeah its chinese synthetic i was thinking about getting 2 more stocks and painting one white and the other olive drab and just swap them out as the seasons change
umm i have no clue i was going to use some BBQ paint on the barrel and action as a base coat to help with heat but i got lazy and just wanted it done
im still not done i got touch ups and i still have to paint the upper handguard khaki becuase i think theres to much black and the sling mounts are going to be black then it will be all done

Is Krylon a durable product?
it says it takes up to 7 days to be chip proof but i put it all back together an hour after i was done spraying and charged it a few times and hardly any paint is coming off the rails or the charging handle. little bit came off on the bolt lugs but expected that middle of next week if its nice ill get it all oiled up and maybe shoot it. its really thin paint and i only put on 3 coats i think im not expecting it to last either i just got bored and felt like painting a rifle.
i was going to sand it all down but i only sanded one of the mags i think and it came out scratchy but i was using 320 scotchbrite from work and i thought id just take a gamble on the rest since the can said no prep needed. so i just used wax a grease remover from work and it turned everything white for some reason then i just sprayed everything so ill see how well it holds up.

It's also incredibly sensitive to A) undercoats and B) temperature/moisture.
I found it worked exponentially better when given a good adhesion promoter on plastic or an etching primer on metal.
I painted my whole Land Rover with the stuff and it's stood up pretty well. Word to the wise though; it does not supplant a proper primer/sealer if you're looking for corrosion protection!

It works okay on stocks but... (not to crap on the OP's parade) I've seen a couple m14's painted with it and it really doesn't take all that long before it starts to flake off. You're better off going with something like armacoat for the metal.

It would be ridiculously difficult to play pool on a camo pool table...throw in a couple beers though, and the lines might straighten up a bit?
