[QUOTE="Veritas, post: 4322589, member: 55012"] Painted rifles are great. I’ve done a rattle can job but I prefer professional cerakote. It protects the gun more than almost any other finish (as in from rust, I don’t care about scratches) and it makes a dramatic difference in visibility. Nothing stands out more than a black gun at night. Also, if you have ever sat a black rifle down in the sun in the summer and gone to pick it back up an hour later, it can be a painful experience, paint helps with that also. As far as resale value, I will say I don’t tend to paint historical or collectible guns. So for example, an original FN FAL won’t get the paint but a DSA FAL clone that are a dime a dozen would.
