    What did you use to paint your rifle?

    Rattle can has held up for me on several rifles(4)......make sure its clean before you paint...of course.....another good tip is heat the (paint) can up to about 90 degrees for 5 minutes or so(boiled water works the best)...apply multiply thins coats for best results.
