Almost every gun I’ve ever painted I usually regretted it cause it looked like shit. But that being said I rushed it and didn’t do everything right. Im tossing up the idea of painting this nomad chassis for the 10/22 had Gemini help me out and honestly I love it but unsure if I can pull it off will use rustoleum ultra flat and vinyl stencils I can make with my cricut

Good shit man. Out of curiosity, how do you avoid that tacky-paint feeling? I am a complete noob when it comes to rattle cans. I assume curing and applying clear coat would take that feeling away?

So I scrubbed it with warm soapy water to get rid of all my liquid mask leftovers and then hit it with some krylon Matte crystal clear. It doesn’t feel like tacky paint at all i was surprised. I did light coats of the clear from about a foot away and it’s got a nice sand blasted texture to it very pleased
