I want to kylon my 5R matte or flat black, aside from knocking it into things that would normally knock the paint off, does krylon wear well as a finish?

Think about it, it doesn't really matter how well it wears as if you scratch it, Krylon is inexpensive.

You could throw up a little more money and have it professionally coated if you are worried about it scratching. Remember, when you paint, it's all about PREP WORK.

Re: I want to krylon my 5R
the good thing about Krylon, if you chip it or it wears thin......it cost all of 6 bucks(3 for 1 can of paint and +/- 3 bucks for gas) to touch it up.....its simple
Or if something fancy strikes you its all about creativity and not huffing the fumes.

Some have had good luck with a flat clear coat over the Krylon....prep the stock, shoot the paint and allow proper drying time, then shoot 2-3 coats of a good flat clear coat on it.

Yeah, just do it. My wife left the house when I painted mine cause she said she didnt want to be around when I %$#@# up the gun
but it really isnt tough at all. ky shooter is right for the prep work. There are several good tutorials here. I used blue painters tape overlapped on my truck window and cut out with an exacto knife for templates on a gap-like camo job on my 5r.
Krlyon does wear off the bolt knob pretty quick, but then who cares?? Its a tool...

Re: I want to krylon my 5R
some of the coolest paint schemes are krylon....done one on top of another, all different colors and patterns....toss it in the weeds and it will vanish .

Re: I want to krylon my 5R
Top is a 5R Krylon'd Ultra Flat Black in an AICS (bolt was ceracoated when bolt knob installed)
Bottom is a 10/22 with bead blasted barrel krylon'd black and a Krylon GAP style camo job on the stock.
Just do it!

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 spray 3 or 4 good coats of Krylon flat clear over it. It's been about 2 years since the last time I painted it and it is holding up great. The only thing is that you have to be careful when you're cleaning your rifle. Hoppes and Butch's both make the paint really sticky and will make it come off if you let it sit on there.
For some winter coyote hunting...

Like others have said, if you jack it up you can repaint it on the cheap. It's a tool anyway. Make it fit your needs.

Re: I want to krylon my 5R
Be careful about painting the HS stock. I've seen the original finish damaged when the Krylon was removed. Just in case you wanted to return it to its original colors. HS Precision will refinish it for $80.00.

Re: I want to krylon my 5R
Did mine in 3 nights. Plan out your pattern. Clean out side of your weapon. Put your pattern on. Spray weapon. Then put on a couple coats of Flat polyuerthane. Best part of it if you get tired of the color/ pattern strip it and start over.

What do you guys use to clean your rifles before you paint it, Thanks Brian

Re: I want to krylon my 5R
I clean mine with plain old alcohol and paper towels.
But then again I am rather ghet-toe.
Kryon camo paint rocks. I've painted every single one of my bolt and pump guns with it. It's easy to apply, wells OK, and touches up like a breeze. Just put a good coat of matte clear over it.

Re: I want to krylon my 5R
I just did my 5R in a simple gap camo with krylon I also textured it before painting it check it out
My Remmy 5R prep work is key specially with the finish on the 5R you have to make sure you knock down the green web like finish they spray on the stock by sanding it or else it will show up as bumps after you krylon it. As far as clear coats go I would also like to know as I am going to wait 6 more days for the krylon to fully cure before I start looking at clear coats.

I really like that multicam AR, 338BLOODHOUND. Paint job looks clean, and just like multicam.

Re: I want to krylon my 5R
I like the simple scheme on the 5R. That's how I do mine now. We found that a tight woodland camo or tight digital just turns into a dark blob in this area ... just like a rifle. LOL. So now I do a tan base and a few OD stipes across the rifle and scope. It seems to work better against deer and against people in low light. MultiCam or tighter patterns work well in scrub or rocks and sand.

Re: I want to krylon my 5R
Just gave the A5 on my 7Wizzer a Krylon 'sponge job', for a goof...
It matches the A5 on the .243...
which matches the .20TAC...
which matches the .223 Wizzer...
which matches the 6x45...
which matches the .17 Predator...
which matches the .25Wizzer...
etc, etc, etc...
