I am not trying to offend anyone at Pew Pew writing this , I am a fan . I have made a hobby of painting 5 of my rifles " all AR Sporting rifles " and there is a right and wrong way . Any job worth doing is worth doing right in my book. When I take my rifles to the range I am always approached and complemented . It is one thing to paint a rifle with iron sights and another to paint one with a matching optic. Masking is important ! and a little time consuming, but well worth the effort. I use a glass window pane from Home Depot with the edges taped to lay out painters tape on and a straight edge to cut the lengths and widths I need. Mask your sight post and the screw adjustment on your rear sight " if you ever want to adjust it again " I strongly suggest you mask the Manufacturer name and serial # as several coats of paint may fill or distort numbers " and if you ever decide to sell it you don't want a a spot with scratched off paint to show the maker " . I make my own stencils if I am doing an intricate pattern like Multi cam by using wax paper , covering both sides with painters tape " slightly overlapped " cut out my snake or blob and peel it apart with a razor knife and WA LA a stick on stencil . An easier method with more controlled fantastic results is The Sea Sponge Method " NOT your wife's kitchen sponge ! " A porous Sea Sponge can be bought at Home depot or an art store, using scissors cut different size pieces from it " for different patterns " . Testor's Models paints sell many flat finish military colors to use with your sponges. First SPRAY your entire rifle with a Base color then use the sea sponge to dab different colors " one at a time " and be sure to blot the sponge before you put it to the gun so you don't have too much paint on it. I did a Deep Gray base Urban camo job on my AR Pistol and used 4 shades of gray " Testor's model paints " carefully dabbed on it and it turned out Fantastic ! There are some Guide lines that make camo truly " effective " Always have your darkest and lightest paint's all along the top and bottom of the rifle " this breaks up the outline . Don't be afraid to use your lightest color paint " in small areas " the lightest shade " of the color you are using " ever notice Multi-cam has White in it " And I always use at least two coats of Rustoleum spray on Matte Clear coat to protect the finish and it works well. Let me know if you have questions or need help. A company called Arvoe makes excellent spay cans of current authentic military colors for $6-$7 you can order on line their Coyote and Light Coyote are awesome by themselves . I have used Brownells aluma-hyde but you are supposed to bake it on and that takes patience " and a forging wife " Don't get in a rush ! let each color dry overnight " if spraying " and you will have a one of a kind rifle you can be proud of.
Even better idea: Don't do this to your prized blaster at all. Get you a PSA poverty special and do it to that one. Get your prized blaster cerakoted professionally, you will be much happier with the results.
I painted my neighbors black poodle in white house paint when I was about 6 years old. For some reason unbeknownst to me at the time the neighbor lady became quite upset.
Some things to remember: 1) LIGHT COATS!!! and let each coat dry between sprayings. 2) When you paint your mags and optics, be careful of the rubber parts. they dont like paint. or brake cleaner. or you, probably. 3) after cleaning off all oils, your first coat should be self-etching primer. it really REALLY helps the paint stick. i tiger striped mine, carefully painting each shadowed stripe on by hand. it took three days, but i also like to paint models of tanks so it was fun for me. anyways, the gun is only to be used at a range of 30' at 4 in the morning when someone anti-social knocks in the front door. and every few months at the range, where i get bombarded with requests to paint other folks stuff. nope.
@@JediSwordMasters i was probably replying to someone's reply... and now that reply is gone but i have blasted the paint off to put a different pattern on it.
Good advice. I also used to paint models as a kid (I'm a bit older). I've camo'ed a lot of stuff. Making a few bucks painting other people's stuff is pretty fun too. Give it a try.
I would recommend "Frog Tape " Brand painters tape. It has a material in it that prevents paint bleeding when your taping off areas or patterns. It will make all the difference in the world 🐸🐸🐸🐸
Don't forget the healing crystals for proper chakra alignment, maybe even wire wrap the entire rifle to ensure its absorbing cosmic frequencies for added stopping power.
Living in the Santa Cruz mountains, I actually prefer quite a bit of contrast. Due to the fact that we have a lot of vibrant greens, and dark browns. But I do usually ad a fine mist of one color over the entire rifle to help blend a little bit.
I started doing this with my paintball guns in highschool. And it didn't matter how many times I thought it looked like shit anytime someone saw it they complimented it. I agree with your thought process. Have fun and experiment.
Cool video.. and I'm good at painting things, but if I were to go ahead and paint my valken M17 paintball gun? .. do I gotta tear it all completely apart? . Or just tape it off where I don't want paint to get it and paint it??.. and if I do paint it.. could paint some how ruin the gun? Not trying to fk anything up. Just asking. Thank you in your.
Model master- Testors (made by rustoleum) might be worth mentioning that model master comes in enamel, acrylic and lacquer all three behave differently when used on metal and plastic. I’m not saying you’re wrong and mean no disrespect I just wouldn’t fork over money for 3oz of paint when I could get more for less money buying rustoleum.
Why do people get so butthurt about other people painting there guns? It doesn't change how the gun works (if done properly) it just makes it look different, and what's wrong with that.
This isn't a bad paint scheme at all, but we all have to agree the whole paint ur gun like a nerf gun is stupid as fuck... What u think a kid will think wen they see a real gun all colorful? They're gunna think oh my new nerf gun an then hurt or kill someone or them self
@The Weapon Collection lol ya think? Those r givens, knowns... A rabbit hole I don't wanna go down with the fucking idiots of the internet... What isn't so obvious to many is the fact of lets paint r guns all colorful is a huge mistake... U lay a painted up colorful ar next to a nerf an a kid would never know the difference, which in turn gets said child killed or said child's friend or family member killed
@The Weapon Collection right cuz every one jus follows gun safety to a T... I'm all for guns, love my guns. But there's very few colors a real firearm should b.
@The Weapon Collection ur jus being fuckin ignorant about the shit i never said that's exactly how it would go but I did say having any colors u see in the rainbow or on a nerf gun it shouldn't b on a real gun. If that's so hard for u to understand Idk what to tell ya.
@@theimmortal4718 Just hit it again and it's gtg. Plus the texture is grippy. If clear coat is your thing to keep your safe queen looking new, roll on sir.
@@NineteenEighty-Four What? Who talked about a safe queen? You've never actually used it, have you? It doesn't change the grip at all. It's not slick with flat clear coat. you're thinking of a glossy coat
Michael Groff you could probably hydrodip it but I don't personally know how it'd hold up to wear n tear compared to a proper paint job. But painting anything isn't really "tacky" (assuming it's done with decent quality) it's simply a way to personalize something and or add a protective layer from the sun and other elements. I'd go with powder coat personally because I've seen how hard it is to sandblast off engine parts, it's durability blew my mind. There's also just about endless possibilities for color, you could probably even find a match for your local dirt and foliage. Sure it definitely costs more, but it varies especially if you can find someone who has a small PC setup they use for small personal projects willing to help ya out.
@@100GTAGUY you kinda made my point for me. Cerakote is def higher quality, a better finish and an overall more professional way to go about it over the "tacky" way if just hitting with some spray paint. I asked a friend about this and he's done it to a few of his AR's and he has mentioned that it even feels tacky(on his cheek and in his hands) in comparison to a cerakote job. But to each their own. It def gets the job done for a fraction of the cost that a professional job would run you.
I have seen some coatings scratch easy & hard to fix ... paint is fast & low cost , easy & fast to fix ... use local fern or leaves primer brown is the color of dead oak leaves a good base coat for winter in the mid west , use oak leaves as a stencil with your other colors = home rolled real tree
The Weapon Collection I just moved to Colorado recently, and have been thinking about the best camos to use but you're definitely right this place is hard to match especially when you can hike half a mile down a mountain from woodland to red rock desert. But I've been thinking something like flecktarn might be kinda decent for the various habitats as its a rocky/mountain/woodland type pattern
It's hard for me to care enough to pick a color and buy something but I like the video. If somebody came by and painted my rifles for me I guess that'd be ok. From what I remember - you want dark stuff on the high bits and light stuff on the depressed and low bits. Weapon looked really fine when it was done. Good jeorb.
I used Krylon after a primer, can't remember if it was a self etching primer, and holy shiiiitt... It was pretty bulletproof but when I wanted to remove it I was hating life. I spent so much time and money on aircraft stripper soaking the parts forever.
Brownells Aluma-hyde is more durable than normal spray paint and easier to use than Cerakote. Camouflage generally works best with the lightest color as the base layer and getting progressively darker as you add layers. But do your own thing, it doesn't make that much difference.
People talk about that battle worn look lol. I have an aero precision gun in fde that I just leave in a bag in my trunk and it has a badass battle worn look. You don't need crappy paint to wear off. Just use your gun.
Do NOT use BRAKE CLEANER to clean your rifle!!! Brake cleaner will get it clean but it leaves behind a residue, so the paint will take forever to dry, scratch off with your thumbnail, and get sticky if you hold it for a long time. Clean it with one round of acetone, two rounds of alcohol, and a round of distilled water. Use clean towels for each phase. Let it sit for an hour, then get your paint on. (Also, I still hit the like button because I’m not a complete douche bag.)
The legend that they call Jon from Airsoft to real steel. I am pretty sure this guy can make any TH-cam video worth a watch. Quick FYI maybe you could read out some comments from your last video at the end of your latest uploads. Keep up the good work 🤗
Great video and outcome was very very nice. Unfortunately none of those paints are available ANYWHERE today....Either back order or galactic backorder.....🙄
Brake cleaner is good but I start with Acetone to start most of my projects. I've never seen anyone use Model Masters paint on a rifle before too! Sweet :)
$20 gets a cerakote kit to finish a full AR, a little more prep work that you should probably do with rattle cans anyway...but a massive improvement in durability etc.
I'm really interested in that kit where would I begin to look or do you so happen to have a link also what is needed are you going to need a sandblaster and all the other Hardware?
Make it look like an illegal immigrant and you should be good. The liberal democraps will love it. Hell, it might even get housing allowance, free health care and other government subsidies.
A part of me wants to paint my AR but I think I'll keep it original, mainly because I only have 1 AR with a lot of time and money into it and Idk when I can afford another. I could paint it and love it today, then feel like I ruined it in a week. I do like to admire paint jobs like this tho. I may buy throw away furniture that I can paint and just leave the barrel, receivers and original furniture the way I bought it.
Dont do it painting Ar-15s is something, dudes that live in their mothers basement do, to play soldier and try to impress their looser friends. You say you put alot of money into your rifle, if you have to have it refinished send it off to a Pro, and have it ceracoated, or a number of other finish options they can do now a days, it will look way better, and adults wont look at you like your a idiot when you bring it to the range to shoot.
@The Weapon Collection actually i wrote another comment in for this video that says "if you are not in the active military, painting your rifle is stupid" , one you will never be able to sell said rifle, to if you do some how prove me wrong and find a shit hole pawn shop that will take it the value is automatically dropped, two: Your not a professional sniper, three: even if you were painting your "personal rifle" is still dumb, four: black blends with ALMOST all enviroments, five: the shit has NOT hit the fan, and if it does, paint on your rifle wont save you,(and if you actually need it painted why not wait till the shit does hit the fan. Just incase your fantasy of world ending zombiez that attack black rifes and not painted ones, never comes to life. Six: they make stuff that helps your bright black rifle blend into environments that black stands out in. Its called FDE colored rifles.

A nice idea is to practise on something like a cheap nerf gun or sections of drainage pipe first before you spray your prized blaster.

I also use break parts cleaner but I try to avoid the plastic parts. Plastic doesn’t like solvents.
I been using Rustoleum flat camo for over 10 yrs and it works just fine.
Does the paint not get damaged when cleaning?
Agreed works and cleans without issues and if it was a issue can always paint it over in about 2 or 3 hours.
I would recommend "Frog Tape " Brand painters tape. It has a material in it that prevents paint bleeding when your taping off areas or patterns. It will make all the difference in the world 🐸🐸🐸🐸
Rust-Oleum Camo Paint is really good. Doesn't stay sticky and dries fast.
I sponge yellow or white on my dominantly bright green AR. It blends in with the tropical environment really well
You can even drape your tactical beard over it to break up the pattern.
He's one of the Smith Brothers of cough drop fame.
Instead of masking port, you can stuff inside receiver with paper towels. Stuff.
I was thinking more pastels and hibiscus stencils... glitter... maybe glue on some rhinestones or seashells...
kill 'em with "flair"
Hell yeah. Bedazzle it.
Don't forget the healing crystals for proper chakra alignment, maybe even wire wrap the entire rifle to ensure its absorbing cosmic frequencies for added stopping power.

Honestly disappointed bob ross wasn’t showing me how to paint my gun, 😂 but hilarious thumbnail
Great tutorial! Now if only I can convince my Grandmother to paint her AR camo instead of that pink and purple combo she's so fond of...
Aaron Kauffman is that you!!! Hahaha lol
You can tell he bought that can of break cleaner himself. When you don’t, you empty the can 😂
Im trying crayola right now!
Very nice work!
Excellent tutorial. My natural environment is urban AF. Still brainstorming the colors/design I’d choose.
Red brick?
Make it look like an illegal immigrant and you should be good. The liberal democraps will love it. Hell, it might even get housing allowance, free health care and other government subsidies.
Destroyer gray
Diversity brown?
Shades of gray and tan
Lot of great content/vids from Pew Pew...just about any topic you can think of they’ve covered it. Anyone hitting the thumbs down is a wanker.
You've got old man hands my guy
That paintjob was decent but the beardjob was amazing!
Goddamned right.
love that intro but i still like grandthumbs just slightly more on painting your rifle )good stuff
A part of me wants to paint my AR but I think I'll keep it original, mainly because I only have 1 AR with a lot of time and money into it and Idk when I can afford another. I could paint it and love it today, then feel like I ruined it in a week. I do like to admire paint jobs like this tho. I may buy throw away furniture that I can paint and just leave the barrel, receivers and original furniture the way I bought it.
Dont do it painting Ar-15s is something, dudes that live in their mothers basement do, to play soldier and try to impress their looser friends. You say you put alot of money into your rifle, if you have to have it refinished send it off to a Pro, and have it ceracoated, or a number of other finish options they can do now a days, it will look way better, and adults wont look at you like your a idiot when you bring it to the range to shoot.

@The Weapon Collection actually i wrote another comment in for this video that says "if you are not in the active military, painting your rifle is stupid" , one you will never be able to sell said rifle, to if you do some how prove me wrong and find a shit hole pawn shop that will take it the value is automatically dropped, two: Your not a professional sniper, three: even if you were painting your "personal rifle" is still dumb, four: black blends with ALMOST all enviroments, five: the shit has NOT hit the fan, and if it does, paint on your rifle wont save you,(and if you actually need it painted why not wait till the shit does hit the fan. Just incase your fantasy of world ending zombiez that attack black rifes and not painted ones, never comes to life. Six: they make stuff that helps your bright black rifle blend into environments that black stands out in. Its called FDE colored rifles.
Bet you’re fun at parties
Bro, you are hilarious. Even kicked over the squash.
Thank you Dr Ross I mean John
Mag locked and featureless both on one rifle? Holy CA Batman.
I was really hoping for a bob Ross type of painting
Happy gas ports, happy mag wells...
It looks great.
That looks great.
hahaahha - Well Done with the Start Pic !!
Guy at work decided to repaint his duty DMR and it had function issues after that. The armors had to strip it and they were pissed.
Idiot probably painted the bolt group to match.
My ex was a SAC Bomber
Is... is that good? 👀
Great video
Thank you Eltenda!
