Comic Con here we come

Joking I’m not going or would I bring that but I had a buddy giving me crap for striping the parts on my lower to paint it traditional green. It was a bad choice of color so I had a can of key lime bright green went and got yellow and tried the comic or borderland look and kept going just to make it ridiculous cause I was like you don’t think I can paint a barrel ans everything I’ll make It look so stupid you won’t question if there might be some Paint there buddy.

Have I Committed Bubbacide?

$400 pick up. Had to heavily bed the stock, trigger group area, etc. bc it was just too wobbly in every direction.

Idk how I feel about the paint scheme that I went with (I'm normally against spray painting my stuff), but the stock was beat anyway. This was my last ditch effort before buying something else.

Next up is a barrel chop, so I can suppress it and probably a Texas trigger.

Also, the Novus PDS-1 is a pretty sick optic option if you were considering it.

Almost time for a fresh coat on the AR

Really happy with the way the paint on this rifle turned out, especially as it has worn in. I do think it’s time for a repaint though, especially since I’ve moved some parts around since the initial coat

I see why people rave about rapco now

300blackout pistol that ive slowly been putting together. Still need to buy the suppressor to go with it to actually justify shooting 300BO.

Also intend to SBR this, already have a painted RRA Entry stock and mp5k style foregrip waiting to go on it once its registered/legal to assemble without registration.

Colors used are rapco lusterless navy gray and tan CARC substitute

Color palette help

Free form ones mean new SBS from a shockwave. I've done a snake pattern before and it turned out okay, but I did a green and tan palette on it. I am having a hell of a time with these burt orange colors though. Thinking about using khaki base sand highlights warm caramel some coffee bean and maybe some red oxide primer maybe a splash of otter brown but suggestions are welcome and likely needed

They asked for something different

I had a company reach out and ask me to do a rattle can magazine for them. The only request… make it wild and unique. This is what I came up with. I think it looks pretty sick!

Back to blank canvas

Removed my paint job using Citristrip. I have never used it before. It works great but the the gel like consistency leaves the Citristrip lingering in some hard to reach areas. It is definitely faster than acetone but removing the remaining product after the paint is gone is a bit tedious.

There is some residual gray paint left over on the stock. I am leaving it there for character. Especially considering I will probably paint it again within a few months.
