That looks fantastic. Are you using stencils?I've used a mix of Krylon and Rustoleum for my projects and have gone from one to the other only for color preference. Never really noticed one or the other lasting longer or having more/less protection. Both last really well on plastic and kydex. I just have to be more careful with cleaning solvents than with unpainted guns.

Not necessarily traditional camo. This one is a Grey I don't particularly care for. Not sure if I'll paint the exposed barrel or not. Nothing to lose really. Was more concerned about the durability on the polymer/plasticAssuming you want it camouflaged.
If it starts to wear.....well, it will look more "Tier One". LOL.
Aloha, Mark
I have used Alumahyde with great results over aluminum (anodized and bare) as well as various other steel - carbon and stainless. If it's prepped correctly and allowed to cure, it's no different on either substrate. It was developed for metals originally.Aluma Hyde will work great on polyurethane, plastic or other types of synthetic furniture. It doesn't work worth a damn on aluminum itself or any types of metal, just speaking from personal experience.
Alumahyde is great stuff. I've used it on a couple of bolt guns.I have used Alumahyde with great results over aluminum (anodized and bare) as well as various other steel - carbon and stainless.

It's just as tough on plastics and fiberglass as it is on metals - no difference in the adhesion and surface hardness. I've done on average three items w/Alumahyde per year for the last 10 to 12 years, so have had a chance to get to know it. It's not forgiving of mistakes and picky about application. But done right, it's excellent.
Thanks! I use a couple of different sized net patterns from a laundry bag, trunk cargo net, net bag that had oranges in it (lol). I did use a stencil from Amazon (taped off the parts I didn't want) and used them here and there.That looks fantastic. Are you using stencils?
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.Thanks!

It's called Camo Form from GearAid. There are other brands on Amazon, but this is the OG. Much better than the others.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.
What kind of wrap/tape is that on the scope? I may try something like that.
Good to know, thanks. I use GearAid repair products and keep them on hand - a trusted brand. Did not know about this product. Glad you posted your pics to further the discussion.It's called Camo Form from GearAid. There are other brands on Amazon, but this is the OG. Much better than the others.
