First side, first coat...

What paint did you use? How will it stand up to repetitive firing and the barrel getting hot?
Looks cool though.

Man....you gotta have stones to take a can of paint to an AR. Very well done. I don't usually dig the camo stuff but that's not bad at all.

I used krylon fusion camo. From my experimentation, it's pretty wear resistant if you follow the directions and paint properly. Also, the cure time of 7 days is critical.

That said, it's not cerakote. It will chip and scratch, but I don't mind a little wear on the paint. (Wear on anodizing would suck)

I don't want it to be permanent anyway. I like the fact that I can completely remove all the paint without much trouble. You can't do that with duracoat, cerakote.

Neat thing i figured for painting guns and not wanting to do one side at a time. take a spent casing pop the primer, put string down barrel then casing and knot on back suspends them nicely.

Damn. Great idea!

Not bad, the maple leaf stencil was a good idea
