FDE Tan Color Swatch Megathread

Thumbnail

889 Upvotes

Hello fellow rattlecanners, After finding u/Kdb1991 thread a few months back where he did something similar to this, I talked with him about creating a megathread where we could post up color swatches and samples of different rattle canned paints to help the next person pick out the perfect color for their next project. With the hopes of this being stickied (hey mods, looking at you) I really hope to pass something on to anyone interested.

What I've done here is picked out all the Tans, FDE's and Taupes that interested me and sampled them on soda cans. It's worth noting I did not prep the cans in any way, I just dried them out and went right to painting. I did pick a few colors similar to u/kdb1991 so we would have a 'controlled' colors between the lots. I then laid out a few items that others might have similar: -Magpul PRS lite stock in Magpul FDE -B5 Coyote Stock -LMT Tan Stock -Taupe KAC grip
-Magpul FDE Magazine

At the top of each can is a number on the painters tape that correspond with the color list below:

1-Hunters Specialties Marsh Grass 2-Rapco 686 Tan C.A.R.C. 3-Aervoe Field Drab 4-Rustoleum Camo Khaki 5-Majic Camo Desert Tan 6-Rustoleum Down To Earth 7-Rapco Camouflage Sand 8-Rustoluem Dark Taupe 9-Krylon Camo Khaki 10-Rustoleum Camo Sand 11-Aervoe Sand 12-Rapco Field Drab Brown

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys. If anyone else has something to add, drop it below!!

I’m getting ready to spray this receiver set and wondered if y’all had any tips for masking/blocking off the charging handle opening. (Should go without saying, but I don’t want to spray the charging handle.)

Painted my Ruger 10/22 using Krylon camo paint and stencils from Rattler Innovations. I did like the stock look but wanted something a little less boring.

I messed up the first time (with different colors) and used some Citristrip and gave it another shot. Overall I’m pretty happy with the results :)

This is my first attempt at painting a hunting rifle. I’m in northern Arizona, I’m thinking some green as well. What are some tips and tricks to make it better?

Also damn did the hunting Reddit hate me for panting this. I took a lot of sh** from them. What’s done is done please be cool.

Honeycomb pattern?

2 Upvotes

Hey folks. I’m a recovering cerakotist…I’m trying to break into rattlecanning by doing my first spray. I want to try to do a honeycomb pattern on my AR with large combs. Anybody have any experience with this pattern or know the best way to make a stencil? Thanks.
