I Used Duracoat on the AR finally. I wanted to walk you through my paint job. I also go over the Paasche airbrush and tools. I made sure I had a quality mask, and went to the local hardware store and bought a $50 breather. Not even a trace of the toxic fumes. I purchased a Paasche single action kit from Amazon (highly recommended) and went to the local Tractor Supply to pick up the necessary attachments and hooked it up to my air compressor. I regulated pressure at around 40 psi.
First stage, I coated the rifle in flat tan. I waited 2 hours and then went across it with burnt earth to create the lines in various angles to break up the shape.
Second stage, I cut out a pattern of a leaf on a business card (high tech, no?) and used it as a template to paint the dual green tones and the dark brown. I rotated and angled the template as I needed, no fuss.
Third stage, I added flat black branches (again using a cut out on a business card I free-handed).
