Nice job with it. I have a very similar setup. What colors did you use, krylon I'm assuming?

Just scuff it up a bit, Dont really have to, but make sure to clean it really with a degreaser. Looks like you are good to go with it though.
ARP here will be the one to ask questions though.
Great job.

I recently painted mine, we used Duracoat. We scuffed the stuff with 400 grit sand paper, and after that we used some gun cleaner to clean the scuffed areas and used gloves so the hand oils didn't get onto the areas where we were painting.

I actually used an indoor outdoor rustoleum paint. It has a gritty finish to it for added grip. It is even a flatter based paint then the duracoat ultra flat. And, the colors matched with the environment we have around here.

So for a blued barrel, would you just scuff it up, or do you have to make sure all the bluing is removed?

I hate clear coating the paint due to the shine it leaves on the camo. Don't worry about it being durable. If it gets scratched to where it bothers you, just paint it. You really can't mess it up, do don't worry so much. And remember... its just paint, have fun with it.
