Re: Cerakote
I have painted both my AR and my sniper rifle. I did my 700 first with a tan base, then stretched an old laundry bag tight over it. I was absolutley tickled at the way it came out. Looked a lot like snake skin, but the variations of colors used made it nearly impossible to see in anything out there. Very cheap and easy to do as well.
The AR, I used a DuraCoat template and wound up making my own leaf patterns. Blends in extremely well, and for the year + I have carried it everyday, I have one scratch through the paint on it, in a spot that hits everything (flashlight). I am Very impressed. tried to post a pic, but unable too right now. if interested, e-mail me and I will send you a pic that way
