These are some pictures of my FN SPR A2 after a recent paint job and some custom stencils i made. I found a way to use contact paper and a laser engraver to cut precision stencils that would be next to impossible by hand.

Re: FN SPR with some stencil work.
i drew the file of the logo i wanted stenciled in Corel draw 12 and then lasered through the surface of the contact paper but NOT cutting the backer, then i weeded out the parts i wanted painted on the stock and covered the face with masking tape to hold it all together, when i was ready to paint i just removed the backer and applied the stencil to the stock. after rubbing it thoughly i peeled off the tape leaving just the stencil on the stock, then i was ready fopr some krylon.

I like this paint a lot. Not just the stencil stuff, but the color blending is nicely done.
