You can use a base coat like on the AK or just over black like I did on the Scar and M1A

I choose the colors dependent on Operating environment of the rifle, also thicker grass Blades tend to look better

Spray in a Sweeping motion bottom to top, Air brush works best but I did use krylon spay can on many of them
