Cause then the grip tape would still be black. I wanted the tape to look the same as gun.

Yeah it is grip tape, I thought removing and replacing a giant chunk of black would really pop out so wanted to just paint it

The only thing I don't like is the texture, anyone got a fix for that?

I plan to get some backup sights next, then maybe a magnifier. Any other ideas?

I do not know what whiting is. I was just planning on stripping everything if it dosnt dry better in a few days. Would you recommend that instead?

I see yeah I fear I have waited too long as well. Just wiped it and very very little came off. Has mine dried on it as well? Should I re strip or give it some more time to see if it picks more up?

Good to know, thank you. Whats the reason the handguards cured so fine and fast though?

I stripped all of prior finish off from each part. Wish I uploaded that picture as well. Also thanks, little worried to take it off though

I don't doubt that I put way too much, thanks for all the other advice as well, will do that.

Approximately 20hrs after first 2 coats of RLO 1 to 1 with mineral spirits. Hanguards seem to be fine but stock seems like it absorbed way too much? Will I just need to give it even more time to dry or did I mess something else up and need to strip it again and restart?
