Only fags paint guns sober.Like I mentioned earlier…motivational and inspiring! LoL
Today’s subjects: one of my SBR’d lowers with a 300 BLK upper, and my 3-tax-stamp PDW/PCC:
The first one was my usual pull the bcg, tape up the optic where needed, throw it in an old laundry bag, and spray away!
Literally took less than 10 minutes total time, including waiting for the first coats to flash off before turning it over. Light coats help, just sayin’ @clcustom1911 LoL
Left the magnifier and mount unpainted for now since that gets swapped between multiple uppers. Really doesn’t matter I suppose, but didn’t want to mess with it today. Turned out nice….well, good enough for my needs anyway!
Second one’s taking a lot longer; partially because I’ve never used this technique before, and I really haven’t figured out the “art” of the barrier/mask application (dish soap) yet, and partially for the drying time between coats after I wash away the dish soap.
In fact, I’m posting this right now while waiting for the rifle to fully air dry after doing the first layer on both sides:
…more to follow.

Edit: second coat down, soap washed off and the rifle’s drying again. Clearly need to go much, much heavier on the dish soap ’mask’ for the first coat, and not much less on the second to preserve more of the tan Cerakote base color.
I’ll probably hit it with a light mist of tan after it’s dry to bring it back to a color more appropriate for my AO, but I actually like this technique…I just need to figure out how to properly apply it!
Edit #2: basically wound up with a paint job similar to the first one after going back over it with the tan. Turned out pretty cool, but it was a lot of work vs. the simple 10-minute version. Especially considering I had to do a complete detail strip and clean after hosing it down to remove the soap:
Why in God’s name would you assume I was sober?
OK, maybe mostly sober during, but not for long afterwards!
It wasn't white claw.
Twisted Tea Light. I am complete river white trash commensurate with Project Asshole Douchebag. I dont need a flat-bill hat to show it.
This newfangled book printed in 1613 is pretty neat
Psh, like you can readIt wasn't white claw.
