Post your painted AR’s here and possibly a brief description on your inspiration or process.
Here’s mine:
Started with a new build and decided to use Brownell’s Alumahide in Caote and Dark Earth. I also decide to use both colors and use the darker tone as contrast.
After a few weeks, I decided to paint my other AR this time in OD. I gambled and used a new paint called Painter’s Choice (Oregano) and went with an old OD look.
I stripped it down and used Moly resin OD and flat black. then came back after curing and filled in the roll marks with the black and then back into the oven.
the skull was an after thought and I may cover it with another coat of OD.
It came out good and the finish is better than the pics show. it was coated a few times and after 3-4 shooting sessions it no-longer gave off a “paint” smell when hot. I like the FDE but in Indiana OD is my choice. I considered a grey color but was not sold on it since I don’t know anyone that has it done that way.
I am waiting on a Noveske lower to arrive but that will most likely stay black.
If MAGPUL puts out maybe it will be an FDE project.
those look awesome guys, i really like the bottom OD one with the skull.
Lookin great guys!!! That two tone is nice! Also on that OD one I think that punisher logo tops it off!..excuse me after I post this if I put my flame suit on b/c of a few individuals here who are tired of seeing my rifle.
Started off life as so…
Then moved to this…
Then to this…
Actually 5.0 your post is right on topic 
One of my old M4gerys, Steyr green from Lauer.
AR…that’s an interesting green…almost reminds me of Glock OD.
I like it though b/c it’s different than most of the greens you see used!
Here’s my Recon Carbine as it sits right now; the only things painted are the barrel and bipod assembly, which were done using Aervoe epoxy spray paint with a topcoat of Alumahyde II matte clear. Once I (finally) get an optic on it, I’ll probably man up and paint the whole thing in some kind of camo pattern.
I like it because it blends in anywhere fairly well.
I bet it does! Seriously coyote works good in any environment…OD works good in almost any environment. It’s got a bit of both going on.
Every time I’m on your site I always make sure to look at that piece of art!
LWRC M6A2 CQB, 5.56mm
Damn nice guns in these photos
Excellent.
What camo pattern kit did you use to acheive the effect ? What are the Krylon colors used and how did you ‘seal’/ lock in the paint ?
Nice work.
Updated pics taken this morning.
You gotta love the green guns. This is one of many but it is Magpul Green and SOCOM black with the Pirate Flag. Duracoat is good stuff but I’m sure that it will need a touch up after a rifle match or two.
Sorry for the picture quality, I was running out of daylight.
What do you think of the flag?
Spike’s Tactical lower, CTR, Timiney Trigger, ACOG, Ergo Grip, YHM Big Hole, Dan Young barrel, Spikes vert grip, Magpul trigger guard and mag.
As far as inspiration goes, well, I had the barrel in the back of the safe next to the pile of stripped lowers, some new green paint and an afternoon in the garage. Just trying to keep a fun hobby fun.

Ain’t she a beauty!?!? High tech paint job: Take one can of “desert tan” krylon, one can of “olive drab” krylon, duct tape them together and push both buttons simlutaneously. 
BTW, the black stuff is powder residue, carbon, etc. This baby gets used.
