So I got realllllly bored today and decided I'd paint my rifle. There is really no purpose behind this other than I thought I would have a little arts and crafts time. Let me know what you think . I just got done building her a few months ago and it shoots like a champ. I wish I would've taken pictures but I keyholes an entire magazine at 50yards. The shot group was covered by a quarter. I was pretty happy with it.

Where is your front sight?:-"

Looks pretty good, a bit shiny though, did you use gloss or is the paint still wet? What barrel?

Nice bang stick.

The paint is was still a bit damp. Definitely didn't use a gloss on it haha. I've got an old Rock River barrel on it.

I've also got a magpul flip up front site, however I forgot to put it back on before I took the pictures. It's on there now though. I'm trying to figure out a way to seal the paint onto the weapon so it doesn't come off as easily. Any suggestions?

Hobby store-get a couple of cans of clear flat or semi-gloss.

Test it on the paint to ensure they are compatable, then 2-3 light coats on the rifle (you may be able to get clear flat or semi-gloss from the company that the paint came from). Key is 2-3 coats with a lot of drying time.

Regardless, you will scrape the rifle when you put any optics/lights, etc.
 
That Kimber Raptor is a sweet looking pistol but it just doesn't feel as good in my hands as some of the other Kimbers. The Kimber Eclipse is a pretty bad ass pistol as well. Huge fan.

Not really man, you really just have to pile on the paint. I have started KG koating, but I really suck at it thus far, but the spray on is really easy to use and comes out nice (not as good a Cercoate, but better than krylon). I have one AR that is Kryloned and it turned to shit after about 3 trips to the range (I am hard on my gear).
