Painting your guns/magazines

I got pretty bored this afternoon and decided I would paint some of my AR magazines. This was brought on because a friend was showing me a paint job he did on his AR using Restoleum Camo spray cans and a mesh laundry bag. He told me this was how they did it when he was in the service (but dont quote me on that).

I think they came out pretty awesome....

 

Those look awesome. What paint did you use? Same as mentioned above?

 

Yup!

I also pulled some maple leaves, ferns and pine boughs from my yard to try and mix up the pattern but nothing worked as well as the laundry bag.

 

Ooohhhh. Thats nice.

 

Also I may have gotten a little carried away because I went and grabbed my deer rifle, a 6 year old Savage Axis .270 and gave her a fresh coat too!

 

I did my AK with krylon camo fusion paint

 

I want to paint one of my ak mags yellow like this so it looks like a banana just for giggles at the range.

 

I wont be touching my AR....

 

Haha.

 

Cerakote holds up much better but krylon can look good.

 

Where can I get cerakote? I had my AR done FDE by a local shop.

 

I love rustoleum camo jobs

 

A pro of paint vs cerakote is quickly, easily, and cheaply change camo for seasons.

 

I do the same, laundry bag and Krylon or whatever is cheap.

Or to be ghetto use different color duct tape and P-mags lol.

 

Krylon job on my Nova.

 

That came out great, what did you use for the pattern?

 

Thanks! Pinestraw and leaves. Just took my time and tried to make it random.

 

My old LWRC M6IC SPR, but then it was Cerakoted, lol.

 

Very nice White wolf!

 

I used Brownells Alumahyde. It's supposed to be Magpul FDE but it's not really a match. Seems to hold up really well, however.
