Medium Range Varmint/Coyote Whacker is Done!! Now Paint or No Paint??

[curraheeguns]

One of the best i've seen,You have a video,of how you did it?

That one wasn't done by me, it was done by Cory at Welcome to Nash Gunwerx. That was one of his own guns at the time that he did for himself.

I say go for it! If you don't like it, you can always take it off or have it done by someone with duracoat later on.

First off I would say damn I need one of those.....

And also I think a nice Rattle Camo would look sick so I would have to say Paint her and post pics to show what it looks like when your done.....

Lookin good man! What's next?

 

[curraheeguns]

Can't decide if I should go GAP style or try for the new multicam style. I am at a crossroads.

Looks good so far. You were busy after I left! hell, all i did was play with the kids and cook supper yesterday afternoon! How does the Hogue grip take the paint? My FN's stock is a sticky Hogue and have wanted to paint it a few tikes, but didn't know if the rubbery stuff would take the paint OK.

Put a crush washer on the birdcage first though......

I thought that was a "Tactical Sidewinder FH", it directs the gasses to the left, in order to counteract the inertia created by the brass ejecting to the right, for quicker follow-up shots.

Put a tactical brand name on it, and it'll sell

I think the paint will wear off the hogue pretty quickly but it's a rattle can finish meant as a hunting camo finish.

The wear gives it a cool patina. It will only be perfect until the first time I take it shooting/hunting.

Like was said, the paint will come off. I would paint it and see if you like it. You can always change it back to black or a different camo pattern.

NAW,paint does not come off that easy and in some places damn near impossible
to remove, maybe just the stock and forend,it looks great as is!

should have painted it this color!

Duracoat Diamond Plate

 

[whitetrash]

if its yours then do what you want to it. but 1 thing, put up pics when done pls

 

[DaKruiser]

Lookin good Cory! Those colors you chose are excellent. Can't wait to see it finished.

Listen to the voices in your head, and paint it. I did a stock, and was not happy with it. So I striped it down, and am redoing it. I'm much happier the way it's coming out on this go around.

NOOOOOOOOOO PAINT, BAD INGOER BAD!

 

[Colt556]

I like it the way it is but part of me says it needs one more color to tie everything together. Can't decide if I'd do black or khaki. Post more pics when you can. Good job!

NOOOOOOOOOO PAINT, BAD INGOER BAD!

No paint!!! Camo tape or ghillie cover, but no paint. I have a DPMS .308LR that is equipped just about like yours with the magpul butt and the SS scope and bipod. The only real difference is my DPMS target grip and SS fluted barrel. However, if you do decide to paint it, post lots of photos as I might just be interested in doing mine. Just my two cents.

 

[VUPDblue]

Ummm did you read this thread at all? Aparently not because he has been posting pics of his painting progress....
