RUSTOLEUM PAINT

[j_valdez]

Is the rustoleun camo paint any good?

I have not been impressed with Rustoleum stuff in the past. But maybe it has gotten better recently?

I use it a lot... I like the colors a little better

Do you have a rusty gun?

Slower to dry, a little tougher than Krylon, the last time I tried it.

I prefer the Krylon. Seems flatter, dries faster and the tip sprays MUCH better.

krylon....fast drying, no overspray, and a nice selection of flat colors

I also prefer rustoleum to krylon.

I'm right in the middle of a Rustoleum job for my middle son's AR. I have the base coat done in dark earth and will be doing a sponge job when I put it together.

Should be done tonight. I'll post up some pics.

I just got back from Manard's and all they had was Rustoleum products. I had my heart set on Krylon but I havent used ether of them. If Walmart doesnt have Krylon I will be giving Rustoleum a try.

The only camo Krylon Waldinks had was tan....

I went to the local hardware store and got a bunch of Rustoleum's camo paint.

Here's my partially completed Rustoleum job.

First pic is the base coat (earth brown). I had stripped the rifle all the way down, stripped off the duracoat I had on there previously and then hit everything with the base coat. This pic is just after reassembly.

Next I sprayed some paint into a jar and then used a piece of natural sponge to make it look muddy.

Tonight when I get home I'm going to thin some of the "mud" out so it looks more watery and do some back fill.

I didn't paint the bipod because it's only on this gun when shooting groups over a bench. It's primary purpose is as a coyote gun and my son uses a taller unit for that.

How scratch and chip resistant is the rustoleum?? My buddy wants me to do his .17 beater gun.

The scratches and chips just add to the effect imo. And you just touch it up with a few more sprays/sponge wipes when needed. TTT
