March 20, 201214 yr I used Aerovoe paint and OD Krylon.. Some scrunchies, mesh, pine tree branches, etc.. indoor with flash.. Figured good day for painting.. and went and did it.. Stock, PG, MBUS, Trigger, Safety, Bolt-Catch, & CH.. all still black..
March 20, 201214 yr Looks good, how do you like it? It's funny, I went the other way: I bought a painted AR then spent weeks stripping all the paint off.

I did my 308 AR last spring in desert scheme.. had the paint here.. I went OD first this time, then lighter with browns, coyote, tans.. Now I won't mind scratching the $190 rail as much..
March 20, 201214 yr Author I painted my last AR 308 stock and PG and lets say it didn't last long in spots with sweat.. I'm undecided.. I may end up getting a FDE MOE Pistol Grip and MOE Stock..
March 27, 201214 yr Looks great! I'm tempted to try something like this, but I'm concerned with longevity of the paint job if it isn't one of the bake-on types. Would like to know long term hold-up of the finish with normal use!

Would like to know long term hold-up of the finish with normal use! Duracoat will stand up to sweat and solvents and reasonable heat levels without baking but it stinks to high heaven when applying it. They have a bake-on version also. I painted the knurling on my handguard with Duracoat when I couldn't get all the old paint out. Painted the stainless barrel black too.
