[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2369729, member: 8377"] Just a few different colors of rustoleum and cut some stencils out of a sheet of paper. Easy peazy, just got to commit to it. first step was to remove the optics,( i wasnt sure if i was going to keep the elcan at the time, so no sense painting it till i was). Degrease the surface with rubbing alcohol or acetone on a rag. Tape off any areas you dont want painted like rail mount points for said optics. Spray a couple of light coats of your lightest selection of contrasting colors, sand in this case. I will say, at this point the gun will look like crap and you will question your decision, just roll with it. The comes the contrast colors. On mine it was olive drab, which i just sprayed on in a random pattern. Then cut out some random pattern stencils on a sheet of paper and sprayed the dark brown. There is a thousand ways to make your camo pattern but the method of spraying stays the same, light coats and allow to dry between each layer. All told if it takes more than an hour to do it with flat spray paint you are probably doing it wrong. I think mine was painted in about 20 minutes. Now, does it wear off pretty easy? Yeah it kinda does with rustoleum, and its friggen beautiful. If you want it to last longer then spring for a better paint like aerovoe. Of course if you have some need to make it semi permanent then ceracoat may be for you or maybe dura coat. I think every one should have at least one painted gun just to say they have done it.
