Sorry about the delay in updated pics, hope these help distinguish the color!

That thing is sweet, I hope you don't mind if I steal your idea for my first SBR...

Two in Calvert County!?! Meh I guess, you'll come up with your own unique set up as you go,

Oh yeah that's what I meant, other colors, mods, ect, but similar look. I'd say I've always had the idea, but you just built it first.

 

[mouzzer]

Sweet, I look forward to seeing it

 

[Nister969]

I think it looks great....love the look

 

[Indiana Jones]

Would look even better with some Hk sights on it. Mmmmm

That is the link to there 'Shake n' Spray' kit. I've used that and bought just the duracoat paint and reducer separate as well. If you are only planning on doing 1 gun I would definitely suggest you go that route. The sprayer that comes in that kit is very good. Duracoat sprays incredibly even and smooth as well. So long as you do your prep right it is damn near impossible to mess up. They also have EVERY color or pattern combination you could imagine. Hell, there are four or five FDE's alone (Magpul FDE, Daniel Defense FDE, Leupold FDE, Grey FDE etc.)

Bookmarked. Thanks for the link.

No problem. I strongly request that anyone else who does any duracoat work on any of there firearms please post pictures and the color information. Im already working on a couple other builds and the hardest part is trying to find images of the paint already on a firearm. It would be great to have a consolidated reference thread for future projects.

What did you do for the inside of the recievers? Tape it off to still be black?

 

[mouzzer]

I taped off the bolt face area in the upper but no tape on the lower. I did four coats (a little heavy to be honest) and everything was fine. Tolerances of the take down pins grew a little tighter but not to bad. In the future ill probably do 3 coats and a little more taping.

How long is the barrel?

 

[mouzzer]

OAL 10.0"

Love the color, did you use the shake and spray kit, or did you use your own sprayer. Also, did you use the SL (self-lubricating) variant or the standard? Thanks!

 

[mouzzer]

I use shake and spray, self lubricating

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. I saw the sheen on yours and wanted that. The SL variant said it had a higher sheen to it, so I thought I'd ask. Hope you don't mind yet another guy copying your color scheme. You know what they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Not at all, that's why I posted it

Damn nice! Looks like art. You are justifiably proud. Well done.
