Which color to paint my FSN ?

[Undergiver]

I have an FSN-01 but can't decide which color to paint it. I have 5 colors to pick from . Brownells aluma-hyde in Earth brown, OD green, Dark parkerizing grey and Coyote. I also have duracoat in Flat Black.

Thanks

Coyote - I had my 858 refinished by Tac Ord in their "baby poop" tan color.

No pics as I haven't picked it up yet.

The earth brown is alot darker then magpuls Flat dark earth, Coyote is a much closer match to FDE.

Go with the classic black. Will look real good with wood on it. Even the beaver barf

I can't give you pics if the gun is not painted yet. But here are the aluma-hyde colors.

yea i meant a pic of the gun TO BE painted
i'm liking the Desert Tan so far but i would like to see what you want to throw it on

Have you looked into Ink Dipping instead of paint? The possibilities are endless. I had my SKS done in Grande Prairie, AB at Rip It N Dip it. Not sure if it will work for you but I thought I would mention it. I can't figure out how to attach a pic of my gun, I'm new to the site, sorry.

I have the basic black fab defence foregrip and pistol grip. The gun is the FSN-01F. it has the 15" barrel and factory folder.

Can't go wrong with flat black. All that tan stuff will go out of style when we're out of the sand box.

I agree. Just makes it look more natural IMHO.

Looking good sardaukar

is that armacoat or duracoat ? What's with the giant rivet in that mag !!!

 

[bfiles]

it is arma coated

I know cuz mine is the same

I covered mine in mud and grass from the classes I took over the weekend.

 

[Sardaukar]

That is also appropriate, but temporary.

Armacoat is the bomb.

Parkerizing is also fine. It's just that it's an old school finish, so it looks kind of odd on a modern gun, but that may just be my opinion. The rest is undeniable fact

Does anyone know if Duracoat is more durable then aluma-hyde ll ?

 

[Mr Freeze]

I vote for a classic flat black...

well I went with the Duracoat flat black. I will post pics when she is all done. I'm debating whether to put the factory forend back on, the Fab forend is to fat for my liking. I'm going to do my Remington 700P in OD green and Earth brown.
