Rattle can painting

[Cavedweller]

Those camo patterns do look really nice. I haven't done any patterns like that (yet), but I've looked at quite A LOT to get ideas, and yours are very well done. Nice inspiration.

Some time ago I saw a video or an article (can't remember which) where a guy used fern leaves for a pattern. Looked pretty nice.

That's what I do.

@Saffir has experience and helped me paint an AR a few years back. It still looks great!

A gray stock will take black dye very well if you just want a black one.

Otherwise most any spray paint will adhere well to polymers once it's prepped for paint.
My EMOD stock is Forest Green and I just hosed it down with some Cummins Charcoal engine paint after a hot water and Simple Green wash.
It's held up well after a few years with the usual wear marks.
