I vote no but then i have very few with plastic on them most of mine are wood & steel but i usually leave the plastic one alone in case i decide to sell down the road and that road is getting closer every year that passes.
If its a gun that has been abused and used hard then some cerakote or other paint won't hurt it . If you have an investment grade gun and you paint it , well to be kind the owner is an idiot but its a free country have at it. Just don't expect others to think its an enhancement or that it will enhance the value. Every AR I have ever painted didn't have collector value meaning that it wasn't a vintage Colt or a high end rifle like a DD , etc . Same for stick shifts . I am not painting a pre 64 Model 70 or my Colt Sauer .
It’s your firearm, do what ever you want with it.
You’re talented. Krylon Camo Colors and get some leaves, branches whatever you see out there you like and practice on something plastic. I used the wifes Christmas plastic box lids. And a big piece of a truck bed liner.
I always wanted to paint one after seeing some that were done very well, but I could never bring myself to do it. One day, I finally had enough leftover parts to put together a lower. So I bought a cheap stripped lower, a cheap complete upper, then once all together, I went for it and painted it. It’s not as good as some I’ve seen, and I wouldn’t ever do it again, but I’m totally happy with how it turned out and I will definitely keep it around as it serves a purpose for me. One day I may repaint it and see if I can make it more appealing to me visually, but really it looks good now for what it is.
It looks like a spray paint huffer dripped gold paint on a frikkin G Lock 22.
Then out loud I will say, "Wow, that looks great @zghorner!"
It is G34 that has special significances. Only two maybe three have shot it.
I doubt he ever lets anyone ever again shoot it.
