paint
Paint is any pigmented liquid, liquefiable, or mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film.

After nearly half an hour of deliberation, I opted to use up the camouflage paint I had laying in the garage from a duck hunting boat project back in the late 1990's.
Figured this would break up the outlines better than nothing. Not that I am planning on doing much hunting with a short...
hey guys wondering have any of you done some custom paint jobs on your AR-15’s and magazines? What kind of paint? Where do you get your patterns or do you make them yourself? Would it be more worth it to find someone who does cerakote?
