elvis christ 451 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I gotta decide what color to paint the receiver on my AK pistol. It's got a quad rail fore grip and will have a black SAW grip. What color should I paint the receiver? I had a vision of a dark green receiver with black furniture, but I don't know if I should maybe stick with the black receiver. Here are the colors I've narrowed it down to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. I'm kinda liking the AUG green, but I'd also like some feedback. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinsen 86 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Black? I'd go with "whatever ugly ass black finish you can find". I used Krylon unevenly on my Saiga-12. It looks great from more than 1 foot away. But get your eyes within a foot of it, and you notice how crappy it is. My prepwork was shaking the can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loki0629 55 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 White with rhinestones studded all over it. It's how I remember Elvis. BTW I can't see the tiger stripes in that one pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvis christ 451 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) White with rhinestones studded all over it. It's how I remember Elvis. BTW I can't see the tiger stripes in that one pic. Yeah, I don't think the tiger stripe green is actually tiger striped. So we've got a 3 way tie between the AUG green and the two black finishes.

markius fox 0 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Black Oxide, it's nice and cool without looking too extremely dark, plus, it might blend better for night ops than the HK Dark. IMO that is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvis christ 451 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Aug Green, and leave a lot of the parts black to break up the pattern. That's basically what I was going for. Aug green is looking like the projected winner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 So it looks like the 2 black options have beat out the green, as of now. Have you decided yet, Elvis? Or how about a bacon-colored scheme. It would look delicious and be repulsive to those Muslim extremists! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 YEAH! Bacon strip camo! Photos of bacon strips laid in a random pattern. I LIKE IT! What's better than bacon???? Chewy, yummy, BACON!!!!!! yumyumyumyumyum! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elvis christ 451 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 While a woodland bacon camo finish would be nice, I guess I'll go with black. I might even pull a twinsen and rattle can it with flat black. I'm missing a few small parts right now, I'll probably pick those up in the next couple of weeks, put the gun together, and then paint it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheGlobule 1 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 According to new democrats regulations, all guns must be painted pink fluo... The HK Black would look better though... Don't forget to paint the tip of the barrel red so everyone thinks it is an Air Soft gun... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
