B4 & after(s) -- I didn't like how the "shattered" effect looked, so i citristrip and Klean Stripped it.

Used a different painters tape off of Amazon. Straight 🗑.. im sticking with Scotch pro line. Rapco saved it with the final spray. 🎨

Painted handguns /wear

• Upvotes

I have always had good luck with my paint jobs lasting on rifles even under alot of use I feel they hold up fairly well. But I’m debating on doing a handgun or 2 , so many of you paint your pistols and if so how well does it hold up I know kydex holsters are really aggressive as well on finishes !
(Also I don’t care about the warn battle wear ,that doesn’t bother me I kind of like it )

I have become a big fan of the sponge method. The new Staker Precision TA01 + ACRO stack says it needs more paint.

Question about purchasing Rapco cans

5 Upvotes

Getting ready to spray my first rifle. Is 1 can enough or should I purchase 2? Also do you guys prefer a nice light base coat color for this product?

I used the GunPartPicker paint simulator to mock up some ideas for my retromod recce and decided to do a pretty normal rattle can finish.

Krylon Khaki

Rusto Earth Brown

Rusto Flat Black

Rusto Deep Forest Green

Rusto Army Green

I rushed it, did the whole thing in about 30 minutes to beat a storm coming in but I have no regrets.

Overspray on SRO lens

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone—I tried to research this independently first, but I couldn’t find very consistent information. I accidentally had a tape malfunction and got some papco spray paint on the lens of my SRO. Does anyone have recommendations on how to safely remove the accidental spray without damaging the lens coating? I haven’t tried much yet as I’m afraid of damaging it, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Brown DNC

69 Upvotes

Like some, I’ve loved DNC for a while. Apart from its reliability with modern tech, I believe it still looks cool.

Here’s a brown take on it.

Paint used:
Base coat - Rapco CARC brown substitute: 30051
Stencil coat - Krylon Satin Khaki (wanted to use Rapco for both so badly, but this gave me the tan I liked most)

Stencil used: Unavailable, “VinylWeaponStickers” but any DNC vinyl will work
