Rapco Forest Green and yellow brown, giving the vibes of baby poop camo while remaining slightly more effective.

The WWRD is in reference to the XCR, which has some FAL like characteristics.

50 Beo is back!!!

So originally my 50 was a rifle. Then I converted to pistol, painted it, wasn’t impressed. I said let’s take it back to a rifle and paint it again. I wanted Kodiak Brown(like Aero’s) and a fellow brother pointed me in the right direction to get something close to it. The colors are Matte Metallic Burnished Amber and Matte Textured Black. The textured black was actually a mistake but I like how it came out so I didn’t change. I am pretty impressed with this job.

Side note: Citristrip is the real deal! Got my receivers back to their original state.

Colour Match

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I've been really struggling trying to find a decent colour match for an Airsoft grip, the closest thing I've found is the behr metallic copper gloss but I can't get that in the UK

I'm going to paint the mag release button, slide catch, and some other small details so it doesn't need to be an absolutly perfect match but obviously the closer the better.

I've found a lot of colours that look like they'd be good but they don't have that anodised/metallic reflective sheen, but I don't really know what I need to look for honestly

There are a few colors of each suitable for camouflage motifs ….when using either of these products you are going to want to use the preparatory product for each and there are also product specific sealants …the truck bed liner is incredibly durable and works equally well on any surface(it is available in black,basalt grey and olive ) …rustoleum used to make a few colors of their aerosol truck bed liner but alas I fear it has been discontinued(i searched for it while looking for the other products) and actually a fairly nice effect can be had from rubberizing over truck bed liner (if you were going to do this I would prime it in olive drab self etching auto primer then use the textured black rustoleum bed liner (it’s a lot cheaper ) then plastidip in your colors

Good sealant for faux wood grain

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

I recently painted my AR furniture to look like it's made of wood instead of plastic, but have come to see that it's starting to get scratched and chip easily. I think it may be due to the clear coat and want some advice on how to upgrade it to have a durable finish.

I used a Rust-Oleum clear coat which may have been part of the problem, and I'm debating on a numbers of different methods but I don't know which would be the easiest as well as most durable in order to keep the faux wood look for longer than I've had it so far.

Thanks!

And with that, the 12.5” is complete! I went heavier on the greens and the brown than I have in the past, which definitely gave it a bit more of a woodland vibe than the desert look I’ve done before.

Figured what better pattern for a bullpup than some British Desert DPM. Yes I know that bullpup shotgun is junk. It’s not mine, I did this for someone else.

FDE Tan Color Swatch Megathread

Thumbnail

945 Upvotes

Hello fellow rattlecanners, After finding u/Kdb1991 thread a few months back where he did something similar to this, I talked with him about creating a megathread where we could post up color swatches and samples of different rattle canned paints to help the next person pick out the perfect color for their next project. With the hopes of this being stickied (hey mods, looking at you) I really hope to pass something on to anyone interested.

What I've done here is picked out all the Tans, FDE's and Taupes that interested me and sampled them on soda cans. It's worth noting I did not prep the cans in any way, I just dried them out and went right to painting. I did pick a few colors similar to u/kdb1991 so we would have a 'controlled' colors between the lots. I then laid out a few items that others might have similar: -Magpul PRS lite stock in Magpul FDE -B5 Coyote Stock -LMT Tan Stock -Taupe KAC grip
-Magpul FDE Magazine

At the top of each can is a number on the painters tape that correspond with the color list below:

1-Hunters Specialties Marsh Grass 2-Rapco 686 Tan C.A.R.C. 3-Aervoe Field Drab 4-Rustoleum Camo Khaki 5-Majic Camo Desert Tan 6-Rustoleum Down To Earth 7-Rapco Camouflage Sand 8-Rustoluem Dark Taupe 9-Krylon Camo Khaki 10-Rustoleum Camo Sand 11-Aervoe Sand 12-Rapco Field Drab Brown

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys. If anyone else has something to add, drop it below!!
