    I want to krylon my 5R

    Re: I want to krylon my 5R Go Krylon. It is easy to do, and easy to fix if you scratch it or don't like it. I've done a few different patterns on my AR, and all have held up well. I usually let it sit somewhere fairly warm for a day or so after I paint it to let it really dry well and then...
