Wanting to get my chassis cerakoted but need some ideas/inspiration. Would like to see some photos of your guys cerakoted rifles and see how they turned out! Drop the pics
 
This is spray paint but some ideas. I just sold this chassis, but I’ll probably reuse that pattern some day

I see a lot of these and they are badass, are you just using a big sponge to apply this?
Taped everything off that I didn’t want paint on. Bolt, pressure relief hole, safety, trigger etc. then sprayed it with big stripes for a base. Tore off a piece of sea sponge and did alternating sizes with that lighter dirt tan color. Fun project if you wanna get a little artsy. Very cheap project lol.

Before you go balls deep, practice on something else disposable/unimportant

Does the Krylon stick to the chassis well or will it peel after time. Nice work. I have a Magpul Hunter thats gotten a bit scratched, thought it might be a good one to experiment with.
Some folks “prep” the surface with sandpaper or something. All I did was clean it well with shotgun cleaner spray. Could use brake cleaner too. Just gotta be careful. After I sprayed it all, went over it with a layer of matte clear coat.

I don’t suspect it to be super durable. It’s just krylon. But it’s also not going to matter if it gets scratched up/worn. It isn’t a flat single color. It’s already broken up.

Just me though. YMMV. Everyone has different preferences.
