Negative. I can do almost as good with cans. The paint quality is harder to control.

That's pretty nice. I've done some faux painting, but never on a gun. Very cool.
Seems like dipping a gun is relatively simple and turns out great.
Who here has hydro dipped an AR? Where's you get your kit? How did it turn out and last?

Just in case anyone is wondering what he's trying to achieve:

Ended up going with Tuckahoe Gunworks. Will post pics when the AR is done. Lead time is 8 weeks

No, just a stock pic.
Do have 3 wins on Rebirth today though :-)
I went through doing a fancy Cerekote job on one of my AR's; it's expensive and like a body tattoo, difficult to revert if you don't like it later on down the line. My advice is not to do sophisticated patterns. I am in favor of solid colors for the furniture, reviver, and hand guards. If you do go down this path, rattle can spray paint has the advantage of being easy to apply and remove.
I painted my brothers AR as a gift. Not really to much to worry about. As another person here stated, just cover or lube up some of the holes. easier to clean up. My group used to spray paint out rifles as needed and based on the environment to be used. Never had a problem. Though understand you will get burn off or more correctly smoke off if you run a full mag or two quickly. Best to do it and get it over with prior to range day. The smoke off can be a little embarrassing.
