To answer the "does it hold up?" No, not like other coatings. But if you use it, it ends up with a cool (and earned) battle worn finish. I paint specific rifles that have a specific purpose. But the rest stay black. But I also prefer the rust-o-leum. Good video
Thanks man!!
They make a clear coat/protective layer to put on over top
@@matthewbeaver5026 does it add a sheen? I’ve never added a sealer or clear coat out of fear of unnatural shine.
@@corey0863 Not to mention IR reflectivity.. I know for a fact those Rustoleum paints are, if not NAR compliant, pretty good. I am not sure about Krylon. But some things not only show up easier in night vision goggles, some fabrics, coatings, and materials literally GLOW under night vision. Obviously this isn't a concern for everything you do, but if you're camo-ing a rifle, you should do it for all wavelengths you can.
@@corey0863 theirs always the matte/flat clear you can use if you’re worried about sheen, it will over time if you don’t top coat it.
Iraq Combat Veteran Armoror here. rattle can all day. The human eye can spot a little under 5 inches at 100yrds! break that pattern up! Awesome video great paint job
@@thereal-stl_slim thanks man
Break pattern!
FOBBIT
I have painted every rifle I've ever had, from $300 shotguns to $1800 ARs. There is no downside to painting your firearms, unless you buy them as commodities vs tools.
Right
This depends on how many rifles you have???
And I ain’t ever painting my Browning hunting shotguns and rifles hahaha.
But like your good AR15 setup sure paint it , if you got the money get it cerakoted especially if it is a high end AR … years and years from now you end up getting cancer or your wife or kid have huge medical bills one day you will be glad you thought of your plus 100 gun collection as more than a tool collection that’s all rattle canned hahahaha …
@@JoeWayne84 very important considerations. Absorbtion through skin. I sweep chimneys professionally. Inhalation, and 7x worse from skin contact. Protective gear, or safer options. Years later cancer if just being the tough guy. Details matter.
@@zplitterz these young guys who doesn’t understand Guns can be more than one thing hahaha there one of the few things in life if you take care of them they never decrease in value..
Ohh unless you rattle can paint job it then you will have a hard time giving it away hahaha
Do you have a link for the stencils?
I've started applying a matte finish clear coat, typically at least 5 light coats. It makes it last q lot longer. It also helps give it some depth.
Interesting idea.
How long did you wait before applying each coat?
Does it still have the Matt finish? I'm concerned it will reflect light.
Clear coats come in matte, satin, glossy. It will be matte if that's the one you use @@3gunshooter60
Samething we do when hydro dipping , I normally waited 30min. In between coats , a 2 part flat works best .
I Use matte clear overtop when I have painted stuff. Helps seal and protect the colors, no gloss or shine and give a more harden surface. Idk who else does that but I find it more durable
Same here. Matte clear coat after.
You are correct that rattle can jobs won't last like ceracoat will but that's the good part about it. As you use the rifle, parts of the paint will chip away giving it a unique look and further breaking up the pattern which is the point of camouflage to begin with. The bonus is you can touch up or completely change it as your environment changes. A rattle can job that works in the Arizona desert won't work for the North Carolina woods and so on
Don't be afraid of "non traditional" camo colors. Some of the leaves in your backyard match the JD green... I do understand sticking to a very specific pallet if you're going for a very specific pattern(multicam). I've even seen trees with leaves that match blaze orange hunting vests nearly perfectly in the fall. I think the rifle looks awesome! Well done guys
Thanks!
Gotta be honest. Before my first "spray cammo rifle project," I was really worried that it was gonna turn out crappy and would ruin my expensive gun...
So, I painted my $350 Savage Axis II, complete with scope. (Used "laundry bag netting" as my stencils... and followed Garand Thumb's directions in his second "paint video" where he paints a $3K SCAR 😬)
My Savage turned out SO badass (looked like snake scales when I was done), I couldn't wait to paint my AR-- Which *also* turned out badass!
Now, my problem is putting the spray cans down so I don't 'over do' it...
So, I spray paint my mags every time I get new ones 😂
Nice
I have painted a number of rifles and I use Tigger Strips pattern. I use a flat vise on a table top with the mag to hold the gun up or hang it from a cord. I always put 3 or 4 coats of mat clear coat on mine to help keep it from wearing off the paint. I bake them in the sun for a day or two in between colors and the clear coats, so far it has worked well. Doing Tigger Strips in a pain and takes a lot of time to get it right. I am in Florida so the Tigger Strips works very well here in the swamp and it's the one I like the most.
Also, Krylon has a flat clearcoat that you should put on afterwards and it helps hold the colors in much longer that way the black doesn’t start chipping off and gives it away better overall look for where in tear
Who cares
I painted my AR pistol 4 years ago and it still looks just fine. I was using grass and limbs with leaves from my yard as my stencils and it looks pretty awesome., Then I went over it and spot with a mesh bag. And sprayed through that and that made it pop
I painted my Savage .308 2 years ago and it’s holding up just fine. I used Krylon camo paint
Nice
My first military assignment was to Germany in 1979. I was USAF, but I was assigned to a TAC unit. We had a large number of vehicles to support our mission (tactical communications). They were all painted flat green. We had to paint all our vehicles camouflage IAW technical orders. Just like you're doing with your rifle. The key is to break up patterns and eliminate flashes from optics, mirrors etc. No stencils required. Don't over think it. Go out in your back 40 and pull up some native vegetation to serve as your stencil. Grass, sage brush, maple leaves etc.
Excellent fun video! Thank you, Guys!!!
Another co-contributor in TH-cam "Tactical Hyve" suggested using a fade/graduation of color from darker on top to lighter on underside of the rifle that matches what animal camo does. Seems like a mighty smart tip to share.
I did this a while ago to an AR (used dryer nets for the patterning and it turned out awesome). I used a foam earplug in the barrel to keep paint out. That way you can paint the muzzle break too, inside and out, without worrying about gunking up the barrel. And I was really surprised with how well it felt in the hands after painting. I expected a sticky feel or something, but it's quite the opposite. Using the same paints you used in this video, it's almost like having baby powder on the gun. A bit grippy but very dry. It's really nice.
And that paint job looks pretty sick, guys. Nicely done!
Very cool! Thanks man
It turned out nice. I have done a few using netting. I think from a laundry bag. It kinda looked like snake skin when finished. I say it is worth it.
NIce thanks man
I did my mossberg 500 with rustoleum. That stuff is the tits. In my opinion they make the best flat camo colors on the market. Y'all have inspired me to do my AR. Thanks for the video! Great job!
Thanks man! Yeah I agree after this experiment
in my experience, brake cleaner can/will soften plastics..and basically starts dissolving it.
it's meant to be used on unfinished metals, so use at your own risk.
I used light grey for my lighter spots and it worked well. Afterwards I coated with matte car clearcoat to protect it.
I painted my Wal Mart Remington 700. I thought it came out pretty well. I tried to go with more of a desert shade, as opposed to a jungle camo. I like the little pattern cutouts. Didnt know about them when i did mine. Yours came out nice.
Thanks!
Loved the video I went out back of my house and my neighbor was giving me a real serious looking side-eye, you missed this part in the instructions so I just smiled and waived
Hahahhaha
Looks good! Now that it has been several months how has the paint held up? Specifically the barrel, gas block, all the buttons/ levers- mag, safety, forward assist, take down pins, charging handle, etc.
I guess I need to do a follow up video lol
@@BlackDiamondgunsandgear Please do💯
I start all my rattle jobs with a high temperature paint as a base / primer (particularly for the barrel / forend).
If you’re prepping it & getting stencils cerakote it. If not that rattle can. It’s a quick and dirty camo job.
Love the Bob Ross episode of painting your AR15
Hahaha you should’ve thought about that for the intro!!!
So far I've only paint two of my guns. They were cheaper one's of mine. More or less simple paint jobs to see how well it works? BUT..I just got an SRC FightLite which is pretty badass. And, I plan to do a really cool, detailed paint job on it. And adding attachments etc..really hyped to hook it up!
I'd be keeping those stencils linear and attempting an original Mossy 0ak Bottomlands pattern . Its would be useful to actually have something with that pattern on hand to study . Its just a tad more complicated than your stencils alone. They use some blotches colors over the base coat then the stencils
I did a paint Job to my Death Star and Star Destroyers...
looks Awesome,
next gonna paint all the Tie Fighters
Hey folks I also use Crylon camo sprays but there's a trick to making it last and not scuff MATT FINISH CLEAR ! SPRAY
Why wouldn’t you want scuffs on a painted rifle?
Man! I love this. I’m going to try this over the summer
Have fun!
I've done it. Used Rustoleum, not cheap crap,. Flat colors and sealed with satin clear. Holds up better sealed with the clear. Biggest, BIGGEST consideration is THIN COATS.
first ar I ever painted was my pws mk111 mod 2 lol. it ain't that big of deal as long as you mask off the parts that don't need paint
Another great way to camp your rifle is using natural foliage in your area, would make it blend better then just a camo paint scheme.
Hey you didn’t run the rifle, how do we know if the paint job didn’t screw something up?
I just believe lol
Just painted my $4k scar and it looks awesome, I will paint every rifle I own
Yes!
Tape it up and rattle can it. You can brake clean/wipe it all down. I just wipe it off. It's a tool and the paint will come off no matter what. Test a few methods on a piece of cardboard. For patterns you can buy cheap burlap (makes grids), use leaves and brush, etc. Again, test it out (hold the patterns close to it), and give it a few light shots. Use some strips of burlap you can break up the edge more too. They can double as tie ins if you are going for real camo looks.
i had a camo wallet at one point. went dirty bike ridin in the woods and got to the top of the mountain. pulled out the ole wallet to chop up a bit, i guess i set it down and forgot about it, rode down to the truck and realized i was missing my wallet. Long story short it took me a while to find my camo wallet in the woods and my friends where pissed. camo gun yes/ camo wallet no.
Hahahhaha
I was intrigued by the idea but hooked by Volunteer basketball with Kesling live in the background.
Hahahha
On my savage axis I actually used a texured sand brown and some of the camo colors to add actual plant silhouettes from my local surroundings to break up the outline with native foliage to my area that looks pretty dam good for just a few cans of paint. The textured paint adds that extra grip to a simple cheap plastic stock.
I’m going to do this to my home built coyote rifle soon.
Nice!
Damn just happened to come across this video and immediately recognized fellow Blount Co Boys. Then I heard ole Bob Kesling (When you know you know) Nice to see actual native TN guys doing well in the internets.
Hahaha well thanks man!
Brownell's has a spray epoxy matte clear that will make that last way longer.
The white and brighter green should be random accents if used. Looks great guys good job
Thanks
I painted my 4000$ AR build, beat up spray paint looks fantastic
Yessir
It's kinda cool but for 90% of uses not needed..everybody wants to be a Seal Ranger socom larperator and practice stacking up neither mk18/10.5 builds...when for the past 60 years and most recent conflicts the strongest richest military has tapped out to farmers with smooth bore AKs
Looks good. How long did you wait between coats?
About 15 minutes
@BlackDiamondGunsandGear Sweet, thanks man. In the process of painting my MCX but I don't wanna wait 24 hours for it to dry before I apply the 2nd coat lol
he got me there
You can put a light coat of matte water based sealer on it and it will hold up a bit longer
Spray paint is the only way. The camo gets better as the rifle gets used and worn down. Battleworn paint jobs are siiiiiick and do a great job adding to the camo
Personally I do a decent coat with the first color then the rest I barely do and they come out awesome but I do it because I like to do snake skin patterns so guess it really depends on how you want it to look
Did you use a matte clear at the end to prevent it from rubbing off?
No
i spray paint my receivers, then buy FDE rail, pistol grip, and butt stock. GANG
Great job looks great...
Thanks
You need to put matte Clear coat on it so the paint Won't rub off
No, you don't. Paint will wear with or without clear coat.
Do what makes ya happy. Awesome video fellas!! 😎👌🔥
My boss has a Mini 14 he hunts with. He had it dipped.....badass! He had to poop so he leaned it against a tree and lost it for over an hour.
The flatter the finish .The softer the paint.Coat with clear matt at least!?
I have that exact gun.. thinking about painting it.
U shouod
You definitely should have fired a msg on camera, show us it worked 👍 I’m with ya, I know it’s fine Lol
I should have.
I have no desire to rattle can my rifle, but I support people who paint theirs all day! Get after it you spray paint Picassos!😂😂
Always cool to customize a pew pew 🤠👍
Yup!!
I spent like almost 4k$ on my ar so far. Suppressor eotech etc. it’s really hard for me to be like ok now let’s paint it all. lol but I really want to do it.
I dropped some good money on my DDM4V7 Pro and my Remington 700 PSS.
Both those ladies got laid with rattle can.
I truly will never understand the purist mindset of those who think painting quality equipment is some sort of blasphemy.
I hunt with my 700, so having it rattle canned serves a solid benefit in the woods.
I bought my arsenal of tools as effective tools, not safe queens for show.
The color of the rifle has no effect on how well that tool will perform if it’s ever needed.
I’d also like to point out that factory painted rifles tend to have a very high IR signature which makes it easily identifiable vs the flat non glossy finish of some rattle can.
Cheers!
Love the way the pattern spots fade. Good job
A matte clear enamel coat or two on top keeps it on a little longer too.
Just starting getting ideas from everyone I am painting my geissele 16inch and a ak I think my ak will be my practice one
It would have looked better if you had used the stencils to make stickers on some paper tape then apply the paper tape in layers after applying the tan/cream or khaki, it will keep the camo spots from burring
with the Rustoleum cans the camo colors are printed/stamped on the bottom of the can. it's weird but that's how they did it.
and it might look goofy but i'm thinking of rattling my 995 in Owen gun Camo.
Hello from Texas!
What state are you guys in? I'm asking cause I can't really decide what color to do mine. I'm in Indiana so I think the same colors as you guys buy idk.
Tennessee!!!
You guys are awesome! Great job on that paint job!
all those trees and brush around you guys whats point using stencils? i use foliage works way better
I can tell u from experience, if u prep it too much and try to be too perfect it will look like crap. People put too much thought in to it. I promise u nobody is as hard on they're rifles as I am. Bounce around in the cab of tractors and trucks every day and I'm amazed how well camo rattle cans hold up. Tape up lenses on optics and bcg and rattle on.
Nice job gentleman..👍🏻
Thansk
Might wanna plug those QD holes
I tried on my glock first it turned out well. I say that by the time the paint wears off completely it'll be time to send it back to glock for maintenance. My galil came out great when I painted it
Hell yeah, I’m probably gonna do a Glock 2
I've only painted an AR, my Galil is next.
@@sahzookey what kinda galil you got
@Beach Drug Panda gen 1 IWI Galil Ace 8.3" 7.62x39. What you got?
@@sahzookey gen 1 16" 7.62x39 I had one in 308 but I sold it. I think painting it came out really good. There may be a video of it on my channel if you wanna check
How does the paint change the texture of the grip?
No clear coat protection? I'm doing a PSA Dagger in digital real soon.
Never understand why you didn’t just move the table for better lighting 🤣 shadows don’t help
link to the stencils you used?
I don’t just search multicam stencils
Looks good, I did my S&W AR10, DPMS AK47 and my 5.56 Zastava, they look great!🤘🏾🫡
Thank you! Hell those sound rad
Turned out GREAT 👍
Fun video!
Thanks
I rattle canned my rifle, black rifles just seem to stand out too much. On top of that, my liberal relatives said to me this Hunting season, "I'm glad you got rid of that assault rifle and got a real hunting rifle." It was the same gun. I just painted it.
Hahahhahaha
I too am Josh😂
At least that’s 3 of us lol
NOICE!
Two Josh's... one can. I mean four cans.
Hahahah
Looks great 👍😎👍
Thanks man!!
Looks fantastic
I want to spray paint one with a base color. Then hydro dip it with some other shit then add clear coat
Well, how did it hold up or did the wear add to the effect?
Update? Likes versus dislikes? What would/wouldn’t you do again?
Need a touch of white
cheap route aka fun route
Yup
I paint everything
What’s the Number 1 rule in firearm safety? Those who look close will understand this. lol looks great
Civilians are hilarious… don’t want to paint anything high end, lol go ahead and stand out with your all black rifle. You will stand out for easier target acquisition, you do you though lol.
One pointer, lighten up the bottom and darken up the top after you get done with your patterns 🙌🏼
Thanks. The one that didn’t like to do it. Is prior service military
You know what else stands out in the woods? A 270 lb man holding a rifle
Hahahhahaha true
Men's version of arts and crafts. Nice...
Hey next time wait to record after the chainsaw work. 👍
Thanks for the vid though!
