I’ve accumulated a bunch of high-end all-factory black rifles — KAC SR-25’s, SR-15’s, Noveske’s, LMT’s, some mid-range POF’s, etc.
But... they’re all still black. I hate black.
I’ve never rattle-canned anything other than steel plates on my range, but here I sit with a bunch of brand new Krylon Camo spray cans next to my high-dollar rifles. I’ve watched the YT videos and seen some amazing paint jobs. I use my guns, and don’t sell my stuff, so I’m not really concerned with affecting “resale” value.
But, for some reason, I just can’t bring myself to do it. Should I skip the cans and go to a qualified Cerakote applicator? Will Cerakote wear and give that patina everyone seems to covet?
Or should I just man-up and blast my $10K gun/scope/MAWL?
