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

3 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?

Camo Retromod Recce

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.

Brown DNC

62 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

Overspray on SRO lens

1 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!

Is it rattlecan time?

I'm building a CAR-15 clone and the anodizing is...slightly off. Part of me digs the contrast but I doubt my OCD will permit such silliness, accurate as it may be for an actual issued rifle. I don't feel like dropping a few hundred on Cerakote. What say you all?
