Does that ACOG have a different color duracoat/cerakote on it? Looks a little darker than the factory dark earth.

That ACOG may be anodized green. Trijicon did a limited run a while ago.

I really like that sponge camo job. Generally I do a light base coat first, with darker colors following, and a tiny mist of the light color back over the top to help blend/meld the lines, but that green base coat looks good with the two lighter colors over the top. The paint scheme kind of reminds me of the Colt Commando/XM177s used in the movie "Blood Diamond"

I really like the sponge / cotton ball method. Simple and effective.

Some of the paint is starting to wear and it's lightened up since I first sprayed it about 2 years ago, but it's still a tack driver. Loves 69gr SMKs the best.

Hunting with my 18" AR. You can see the stainless Rainier Match SPR barrel hiding under the rail. Ready to crush a deer with a 77gr TMK

Man that rifle looks great.

Not an AR, but still a gun part. Still letting the paint dry off, but it looks good. Here's how I get my Multicam:

I used Desert Sand for the cream splotches. For the dark brown splotches, I used Black misted with Earth Brown. Next layer, I used Earth Yellow (misted with Light Green), and Dark Green. Final layer I used Earth Brown, Khaki, and Light Tan. Negative stenciling to generate the patterns (traced from a Multicam rifle case), all paints were from Aervoe's Camo or Digital Camo line.

Looks great!

The SBR had been painted 2014-JUL, and it's been about 2170 rounds later; you can see the wear's not been too bad, most of which has been generated by biathlons.

Spent some time in the woods. My younger brother shot his first deer, a freezer filling 4pt (and I shot some pictures)
