Re: Show me your homemade spray jobs

I decided to restore an old G36C that I got for free while buying another gun. I patched the hole in the body (where the stock latch usually is), fixed the electrical issues and made sure that it was nice and airtight inside the gearbox and hop. After that I just decided to try a new way of painting, turned out decently enough in my opinion. Black, OD + a little bit of tan for the camouflage, gunmetal for the fake wear on the parts that are metal in the real steel version, and then some glow in the dark paint for the iron sights

That looks mint Dog! I've never met anyone who can spray up a gun like you, and I've been told mine are good too.

All hand crafted by my self , I milled the barrel extension down from a G36k extender , the flash hider is a cut down M14 , the carrying hand I carved then forged the metal part and then finally I painted the wood effect on the furniture .

You're right Sanic that looks great! Simple yet effective. I also like the optic on it too!

Re: Show me your homemade spray jobs

Hey Guys,

Wanted a little, advice and general opinion on what I have planned for my rifle.

I recently purchased an ATACS Hydro dipping kit for my M4 DMR, but I don't have the guts to dip the nice VLTOR parts unless I am sure it will look nice, which I don't think it will.

So I decided to go with something like this:

That looks cool huh?
My rifle is essentially the same but an M4 with a CTR stock and an Aimpoint micro (no longer a dmr).
BUT I have the bronzy daniel defence rails. And I don't have the guts to so much as get a drop of paint on them...

How would I go about doing this and would it even look good? Thanks!

Richie,

I used the range available at a national motor spares retailer....

Used the following matt colours: Green, Brown, Black and Khaki for a desert look

Re: Show me your homemade spray jobs

Yeah I see it now mate. Good picture, looks effective. Would look good with an ATACS loadout like. What were the colours you used bud??

Re: Show me your homemade spray jobs

Evening guys.

I know it's not quite an entire weapon, but was messing around with the idea of a "On Tour" warn/over cleaned barrel.

Now this is what I was going for, or at least trying to get close to,




Now, this is how I did mine.
I sprayed the whole barrel with a Halfords wheel rim paint in a Steel colour.
I then went over the long parts of the barrel with a dark metallic grey, avoiding the gas block slightly. But still allowing a few whisps of paint to hit it.
The grey was added to replicate the phosphate process a real barrel would of had.
Once dry, I went over the whole barrel with a Satin Black, but only going heavier on the areas I wanted to stay black.

Once done, I went over where I wanted warn. I did this with a pad of scotchbrite and a slight touch of white spirit, wearing away like you would a real one.
Working from the gas block down. So the gas block would be the lightest and most warn, slowly getting darker the further down the barrel I went.

Then eventually, voila.

Let me know what you think?
