Paint over or strip?

Looking to redo my scorpion with Rapco RAL Gray. I have a shitty gray on there now and wondering what would be the best move to get the cleanest application.

Strip it with citrsitrip (how will it strip on polymer?)
Spray over it (will the shitty base coat mess it up?)

Let me know what you guys think!

My verision of Swedish M80 camo

Used Rapco 383 Green C.A.R.C. and Camouflage Field Drab Brown for an M81-inspired look.

First time sprayin

Didn't see a lot of black posts, once I got my form 1 back I wanted to paint it nice.

Using Rapco Flat black, and Green CARC for the g19.3

Probably will spray one of my other rifles with the rest of the green. Looks good so far!

Gave her a sponge bath

RAPCO 36173 Lusterless Navy Gray

RAPCO 30118 Camouflage Field Drab Brown

RAPCO 911 Flat Black

In that order.

Blends well with gravel, not so much the grass.

What should I do with the barrel? Thinking about spraying it solid Field Drab Brown.

Dulling down Rustoleum Army Green to be less mint green with Deep Forest Green

The one in the center is blended but the one on top and bottom are not. Big difference!
Rustoleum army green is okay in small quantity but too mint green to use heavily. If qtip or sponge painting you can just spray about 15-20% deep forest green into the container. Count while spraying to achieve this. Clearly spray varies so it’s no science but it gives a nice color option.

For the Boys…

Every single Rapco spray paint color they offer. This is what ADHD, poor sleep habits and an abundance of leftover LE trade p320 grip modules gets you. Enjoy. Appreciate you

Has anyone had issues with these paints?

I want to know if anyone has used any of the pictured paints and if they’ve had issues before I commit to painting any of my actual guns. I’ve heard good things about Krylon here, but I’m curious if my other paints are any good. Bonus pic is a pellet gun I painted probably a decade ago with some of these paints.

Got one of these jobbies. It's so silly that it has to get a rattle can paint job. You guys do some cute stuff, what's some fun idea for this ridiculous critter? I plan to make new grips for it too!
