Ok, I was going to do my rifles in a camo pattern, but I really wanted something durable, but was unable to find somethign that worked with plastic as well as metal (to include optics). The most durable ones I foudn requried baking in an oven. That rules out optics (I cannot even imagine what my acog would look like). I have an upper and lower that do not match (one is park and I believe the other has an epoxy finish, both are spikes). Instead I decided to do the upper, lower and barrel in one color. I am down to either Gunkote or Brownells Teflon/Moly. I am using an airbrush to apply. The questions I have is:
1. Should I sandblast both parts?
2. If so what type of media?
3. Will I have problems if I decide to put a camo pattern over top with a differnt type of paint if I use the Teflon/Moly as the base color?
4. Which one is easier and more forgiving to apply?
I am really having a tough time deciding on the paint. Since I am still waiting on the barrel I thought I would take care of the lower and upper now since they are both stripped. Any ideas?
