That is the best Kryptek paint job I’ve ever seen. I’ve painted or tried to paint many. The number of colors and fades are insane.@Short-bus
I'm still waiting on a 500 color flectarn, just saying
I still like the Armasight rifle you did! That totally rocked! View attachment 7912630

It’s different for everyone..my MK18 got really beat up/scratched up after years of hard use..I was going to rebarrel it and a buddy offered to cerakoat it for me..he did the upper/lower receiver, and rail disruptive grey, and everything else black.
It looks really good, but the first class I went to with it I felt dumb as hell..like an air softer or something

The first rifle I painted was my .22 AR that I used in our "tactical" .22 matches. I did it because I thought it would be pretty stupid on that rifle, so it was an ironic paint job. After I while I said... you know what would look even dumber?
Don't do that. ^
That lower and upper haven't been used together in years, so I'm getting ready to paint the lower again just because, something to do.

I am tempted to dip another one with a wood grain though. Tell people it's a ghost gun and I made it myself. (carved from a tree near home, the tree was split open by lightning. "Wondergun")
I have a JP that they did for me in a grey very like the one you posted as a potential example. It's subtle, but super cool. It invariably gets some compliments at a match, so if you're an attention whore it should be perfect! I did another in bronze ceracoat, it's pretty awesome, too. I'm a fan of F1 racing, and the current Ferrari color scheme is dynamite. I'm pondering the idea of painting one up in Ferrari red and black just to be an even bigger attention whore.
If by “kac” you mean the venerable Knight’s Armament Co., then no. I wish I had so few GAFs to spray paint dicks on a KAC. That would really piss off the clone nerds.
If by “kac” you mean to describe the well-known English slang term for male genitalia or “cock,” then you would be correct.
Why do you care?
Its only shows your insecurity that you give a fuck what anyone else thinks.
Time to become a man and stop worrying about what other people think.
Opinions on customizing AR-15 rifles with painting or cerakoting vary. Cerakote offers durability and color choices, while painting might be less durable. Many view custom finishes as a way to personalize their firearms. Tastefulness matters; subdued, coordinated colors are generally well-received. Resale value could be a concern, impacting appeal to potential buyers. Consider functionality and local regulations. Prioritize reliability over aesthetics.

Well, as long as its not chartreuse with hot pink detailing I think you'll be fine.
Really, people's taste in rifle appearance vary greatly...if there is something you want and like, well...you paid for the rifle and it should be exactly what you want it to be. Right?
Asking the internet about painting an ar is gayer than a fag in a dick tree

I have painted two of mine:
Pinestraw color and Wood color.
I also half painted a custom cherry stock with indigo ink and that was a trip to do.
