[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2502633, member: 42"] Well I was bustin' yer chops, and there a few good examples in this thread already, but here you go: For me the point of rattle-canning a gun is to functionally camouflage it. To do that, you gotta get down to it and paint the whole thing. Leaving a huge black scope, black barrel and all that biz is like showing up in cool new multi-cam wearing a gold watch and a pale face LOL (but I get it, some folks are just experimenting and having fun, or don't want to rattle can a high dollar optic...no harm in that and I'm not flamin'). Here's one my oldest and I did based on a technique I do not claim ownership of. Touch up is as easy as grabbing a can...and the color can be adjusted the same way. Magazines can be done the same way. The whole thing took about 30 min. Before: [ATTACH=CONFIG]38602[/ATTACH] Base coat of tan (the only thing taped off is the dial on the micro red dot, the front and rear sight important bits, and a paper towel stuffed down the muzzle.: [ATTACH=CONFIG]38603[/ATTACH] Camo netting for follow on colors (dark brown, dark green): [ATTACH=CONFIG]38604[/ATTACH] Dust with OD green (without net) and done: [ATTACH=CONFIG]38606[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
