Yes I'm a dumb kid and it might not be in everyone's taste but. Was wondering how vinyl or die cut stickers would hold up on an ar lower receiver and possibly the upper before the handguard. Sticker bombing is a huge trend in the car scene and was thinking about throwing some flare and pizzazz on my rifle, anyone try this before?

Shouldnt be a problem on the lower, not sure about the upper. Also might want to think about whats gonna happen to those stickers when you get oil and gun cleaner on them.

I don't think the cleaners or grease are corrosive enough to melt the stickers or anything ill throw some on one and see what happens

What stickers are you planning on throwing on there? I've considered doing some artwork on my guns, but was never sure what paint would stick the best to the synthetic stocks.

Depends how much you plan to use it. I have a hard time keeping the anodized finish on my guns, if you are going to only use it from a bench odds are you will be ok. If not, replace them.

I just depleted all my stickers inmy gun case but ill do some gun brands some car ones maybe a zombie or two. If anyone's interested I have a bunch of blank postage stickers that many people use for graffiti and if people would like to draw something up that's worthy of goin in my gun ill send some and you can send them back

I was thinking of painting a German helmet, with a Kaiser Wilhelm mustache underneath. And also having an eagle carrying the German and US flags on mine, but I'm not sure what paint would be good. I know nothing of sticker design.

Paint sticks pretty well regular rusto or krylon works fine I painted my shotty and it came out great. I would make a stencil of it and spray it on

That's what I was thinking, but I'm not really sure how to make a stencil or anything like that.

Are these stickers expensive? Just put them on and if they fail then replace them.

 

Most people put designs on their guns with Duracoat of Guncoat etc. I think there are some others. I've never done it but people do some wild stuff. One of my friends did a few cool ones, I'll ask him. Look into it.

I was going to completely sticker the lower and red urban camo the upper.

 

Kaiser if you want help or some design ideas pm me

I know that airsofters do some pretty sweet stuff to their guns, for instance, using some paint and diamond shaped grating, this guy pulled off an amazing snake-skin camo job. It was beautiful.

Here's the shotgun I did with rustoleum.

 

Next time I take my ar to the range ill pay more attention to what gets hot and what gets warm I don't want melted stickers. I'm planning on stick wrong te lower and buffer maybe the stock too. Check out my other thread to help me out with some stickers

I put a sticker on my lower, some oil leaked out and the sticker is now starting to bubble. YMMV

If you want actual customized paint jobs, that is completely different then stickers. People have done amazing things, here are some pictures what can be done, but we can assume they practice a lot on something else first. Stickers won't last.

 

 

 

 

Those are all pretty good but I'm not trying to camo it I want a sticker bombed look

People do way more than amorphous patterns.

 

I have friends that have guns that look like they have tattoos, skulls, ghouls, and wildlife scenes incorporated into them. And it's not uncommon. Like I said, I'm going to ask my friend about one of his rifles and get back and tell you what he did. I don't know anything about it but I know it is a pretty routine thing.
