Yeah I kind of like it. Had the OP done the lower like the upper, it would have been awesome. Still, it's kind of cool for me.

I don't know why people don't paint their AR15s. I understand why people don't paint their other guns. A black ar15 sticks out like a sore thumb it's a tool not a show gun. Good job

Well, if you aren't a soldier or a hunter, what reason would you have to paint your AR? My hammer is a tool too, but I don't paint it. My wrenches aren't painted either!

None of my hunting guns are painted either though. Most have wood stocks and bluing. A couple are all black, just like my AR.

My friend is a Dallas cop and tonight I saw him on the news standing watch at the airport with his AR. That black gun really stood out against his bright, high visibility yellow jacket... I'm guessing that is kinda the point!

I would like it more if the lower matched the upper... still wouldn't be something I would do, but would look better to me.

I'm just giving my own personal opinion. I don't want someone spotting me a mile off holding a black rifle if SHTF situation. I use rustoleum camo paint that can be stripped off to its original black color if I so choose. Why do special forces paint their guns?

Just make sure to paint it colors that match your surroundings. I'm from Appalachia Mountains and I see people painting them desert khaki.

Old sport but gets the job done ugly or not

My opinion is my opinion doesn't mean you have to agree.

Oh great, here we go with the ever-popular (and generally absurd & imaginary) SHTF "grey man" scenarios :rolleyes:.
If someone is eyeballing you from "a mile off", you've obviously already been "made", and whether or not you goobered-up your rifle with a can of spray paint isn't going to alter that.
And, when they see that you're one of those guys that camo-up their AR15's, aren't they also going to make undesriable assumptions about that ??
"Uh oh, careful, boys, we got us a serious playa, here !!" :D

Spotted a mile off? Chances would be pretty good that the "spotter" is one of two persons: Either the person behind the spotting scope, or the sniper already clicking you in with his .50 BMG...in which case the round will reach you long before you are in any sort of range for spray n pray. The above listed 2 person(s) ARE the "S" in SHTF situations.

Just sayin.
 
Play nice. Your vision may not always match that of others. This is a good forum and we should all be able to show off what we think is cool without a bunch of negativity from the peanut gallery. I am pretty sure paint doesn't affect the performance of AR type rifles.
 
Never thought to be attacked for painting rifles...lol keep em coming. I painted my 308 bolt gun too.

The point is to break up the outline of the gun that's it sorry if I offended anyone.

Special Forces would fall into that category of soldier that I outlined above. But since you brought it up, do you have the training of a special forces soldier? Do you know how to properly camouflage yourself and conceal your movements? A Krylon coated Sport does not make one an "operator".

And your SHTF scenario could be way different than mine. If I live in an urban area, I am more concerned with rioting and looting. In those types of situations, I'm not concerned with a guy "a mile away", but more concerned with the mob outside my door or fence.
 
Bottom line is ARs today are not only tools, they are expressions of ones individuality, and that's perfectly ok. Lots of people spend lots of money on their guns to personalize them and make them look how they want them to look and there is nothing wrong with that......assuming the gun still functions as intended.
 
I think some of us may be looking at the OP's work with the wrong eye. He said "It's supposed to be a Post Apocalyptic theme." in an earlier post... With that in mind, maybe it is more art, than camo?

Again, I don't care for his pattern or theme on my rifle, but he did do good work for what he was trying to do.

Much like I wouldn't want the metallic and candy colored paint scheme of a low rider on my daily driver, but I can appreciate the work and the art that went into those cars.

I'm not offended by anyone's opinions of it. I posted it on a public forum for people who also like to do custom work to their AR' could see it. I realized when I did it that most likely more people wouldn't like it than do lol. Either way I'd love to see anyone else's work, if anyone has done a Post Apocalyptic theme.

My wife's hydro dipped Muddy Girl Pink AR-15 will blend right in with her Muddy Girl coat & ammo box.............so what! And we're the ones that dipped it. It was black to start with. Expensive black! Quite artistic actually!

I think that some of the comments on this board, in this thread, border beyond ridiculous. Like in so **** serious! I too enjoy the thoughts, talents, and experimenting, that go into AR builds. Face it, most ARs are for the fun of target shooting, and individual creativity. Not as a tool for a possible once in a lifetime apocalypse.

Uh never claimed to be a Special Forces Operator. Why would you assume because I paint some of my guns I think I'm an "operator"
They do it in part to break up the outline of a rifle. If I want to paint my guns so what.
