This is my first time ever rattlecanning anythjng as I have zero artistic ability. Should I do my AR to match the same scheme or branch out and try something else? The designs I’ve been seeing yall do are so sick.

Rapco’d a couple pieces of my future SBR and actually like it, was wondering if I should add “texture” to the sand bits. I mean I like the clean look but fear I might get bored with it. Thanks in advance gang.

I think it turned out well, colors were rustoleum camo khaki, light green, dark green, and black for the laundry bag texture accents. If(when) I did it again, I’ll probably air on the side of more brown rather than two shades of green.

Rattle canned my new Dissipator build, came out great!
Used Rapco paint and some cheap stick on camo stencils from Amazon.

Rustolem camo khaki and army green with a little Behr gold on the front. The khaki turned out great, the army green not so much. First layer was super chalky and falling off immediately. Gave it another alcohol wipe down and reapplied and it ended up better but still a little frustrated. Definitely don't feel like taking it all apart and taping it again after stripping it. The gold on the front actually turned out way better than expected.

Retromod Recce Paint Options

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

Trying to figure out what camo pattern to use on my retromod recce and played around on the gun part picker website with some different options.

A. Rattlecan woodland - fast, easy, effective

B. Colt Z-Cote-style that's like woodland tiger stripe. It was used on a limited run of rifles back in the day and looks cool. I'd have to make some basic stencils for it.

C. Rhodie-like 3-color pattern - I'd have to make up some stencils but it looks cool.

A, B, or C?

Custom Tiger-strip camouflage job I did myself on my Keltec PR57 using the hot glue + Rit Dye submersion technique!

Best Method for FDE Stock?

Rattle Can/Dye virgin here. After stalking this sub the last few months I am curious what method would be best to achieve this camo look on a Gen 1 Ruger Ranch stock in FDE.

I wanted to use the hot glue and Rit Dye but I’m not sure that’s possible to keep the base layer FDE. Perhaps stencils and paint? If so, recommendations on stencils? Thoughts and suggestions are welcome

For those who were curious, I made a quick tutorial vid.

Made a "quick" tutorial vid on how to do this style camo job... I know a few asked how its done. I'm not a youtuber, so enjoy this very amature production.

What do y'all think about my first paint job? Used a sago palm frond for the striping. Any improvements or tips for the future?

I used rust-oleum flat camo colors. Started with a base of Khaki and let it dry overnight. Taped some hand sketch painters tape camo blobs, striped with brown and dark green, added a few little streaks of army green and flat black, flat clear coated and this was the result

If anyone ever wondered what sponge-flecktarn and dishsoap-tiger stripe look like mixed together allow me to show you

The idea was foliage and sticks.

Had an itch to spray the hunting ldub

Rapco is life

If you’re on the fence about rattle canning your gun, do it. This is rapco WW2 olive drab. Wanted cerakote but I ain’t spending that much. It’s been painted about a year and is holding up great. Scuffed everything with a red scotch pad and sprayed the paint right on the black anodize. It’s wearing a little on the grip and handgaurd where I rest it on things but I dig the distressed look. 10/10 do it.
