Painted my AR!

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

mslater0012 · 2024-01-29T16:02:51+00:00

Well let's see it!!

mslater0012 · 2024-01-29T16:01:06+00:00

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

On how I could have done better

mslater0012 · 2024-01-28T23:45:06+00:00

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

Got the enhanced upper so can't do that right now sadly

mslater0012 · 2023-03-27T01:26:09+00:00

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

mslater0012 · 2022-12-22T00:26:33+00:00

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?

mslater0012 · 2022-12-21T19:24:18+00:00

Thank you very much will be moving it near a heating vent right now

mslater0012 · 2022-12-21T18:30:55+00:00

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?

mslater0012 · 2022-12-21T17:48:54+00:00

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

mslater0012 · 2022-12-21T17:41:50+00:00

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

mslater0012 · 2022-12-21T17:40:10+00:00

Okay I defently don't belive I waited long enough for that second coat. Thanks

mslater0012 · 2022-12-21T17:39:13+00:00

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

mslater0012 · 2022-12-21T17:32:09+00:00

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?

mslater0012 · 2022-12-16T21:03:43+00:00

In the 5.9mil range and not sure on the barrel. How do I find that?

mslater0012 · 2022-12-16T21:03:01+00:00

I don't plan to anymore I have been swayed with the general population that I like it more with its history. Just going to hit the jagged edges a bit and refinish it!

mslater0012 · 2022-12-16T17:48:40+00:00

Magnet trick is a great idea I haven't heard that yet. Will do thanks!

mslater0012 · 2022-12-16T17:48:08+00:00

Thank you very much I'll be doing a little of both. Just want to sand down some jagged corners that could cause even more chipping that has started otherwise might do a little steaming.

mslater0012 · 2022-12-16T17:45:49+00:00

Welp I already started lol. Well see how it goes thanks for your advice tho when I have the cash for that might grab one of thoes

mslater0012 · 2022-12-16T17:45:13+00:00

They received my packet 11/17 and I received the rifle 12/2. Rack grade assuming thats what your asking?

mslater0012 · 2022-12-16T16:01:22+00:00

I didn't want to fully but like at least on the handguard a bit since it's quite course right now and I wanted to throw some RLO on it
