By far the best home-rattle can paint job on RU-vid. The dish soap method gives very good results combined with a conservative approach to laying paint on. In turn Coupled with the fact that your colour choice was as good as it gets. it has a nice high end finish too it. I’d be proud of the end result. 👍
I have had it turn out pretty well but your method is so awesome I’d be outside doing it if there wasn’t a ft of snow out there can’t wait until it warms up your paint job really turned out so awesome!!
I paint a lot of rifles , interesting concept using the dish soap like a "liquid stencil " , most people don't realize that for good camo effect, that the different colors must break all the edges of the rifle to break the outline or silhouette. The dish soap does a great job of breaking the edges by flowing over them. I do exact matches of military camo's tiger stripe , marpat , multicam etc. Another quick concept I have used is Sea Sponge Camo ! You just paint a base coat and then use pieces of cut sea sponge to dob on different colors of paint, each cut of the sea sponge gives a slightly different pattern for each color . Be sure to blot the sea sponge on something between dipping it in the paint and transferring it to the rifle so no paint runs. It's a great method for getting the colors and pattern exactly where you want them. WARNING ! Painting camo is addictive " none of my rifles are black anymore " and all my shooting buddies are jealous .
I painted all 17 of my BB Guns....all different...One custom for my Daughter...she picked 3 colors, Pink, Purple, and Gold...I don't think you can go wrong
Been rattle canning my rifles for years, and I'm pretty good at it. Never seen this technique before. Very slick and I'm impressed. I freely admit I will be doing this next time. 😆
If you have worked in a body shop, I've seen Dawn used before, spread out on windshields and body panel to prevent overspray from sticking, then run it through the wash station after curing.
I was skeptical at first, but I really liked the end result quite a bit, that's a useful technique that could be applied to a lot of different projects, motorcycles, dirt bike, old toolbox. You earned a sub. 😀
I've been up for the last 3hrs watching videos on this and this is by far the coolest and most simplistic breakdown on the topic!! Thank you so much for the knowledge!!
DUDE! That dish soap method works awesome for Tiger Stripe pattern! Simple, easy, cheap & versatile methods. I was already happy as hell with what he did 3/4 way through.
Looks great! I use various mesh fabrics, a metal hex mesh and craft store leaves. All stuff that I acquire from my wife's craft area. I use a matte clear over every thing at the end to keep the paint durable. My first project that I did as a test as held up really well. It's been on there for 8 years and gets well used. It's a Daisy Red Ryder, of course.
For quick fast and in a hurry no BS camo this is probably the best method I've seen. I have seen other methods I like better but those don't go on anything that will actually be used.
This is an absolutely slick method (pun not intended). I've looked at a number of options with stencils, etc. I'm gonna rock this method this weekend. Awesome job man !! It looks great !!!
The whole process is slick and the finished product is as cool as I’ve seen and better than most. Using the drywall tape instead of burlap or similar is way better imo. You could probably do a similar process using leaves and less striping for a woodland camo design too
Definitely love the tiger stripe look. I did the sponge method on my first gpr which gave it a digital camo look. I'm gonna use this method on my spr for the tiger stripe drip.
I’ve seen camo comparisons on different backdrops from kuiu and Sitka ect. And it seems, at distance, that larger patterns help break up lines better than smaller more detailed patterns. I’m sure it’s better than a black or monochrome color.

That looks really good. I think I would have gone a little more tan and coyote brown with a lighter drab. Maybe even a dash of light stone grey in spots but ONLY because I live in a desert region so it makes more sense for me and my surroundings. I've seen this same dish soap technique used for sneakers before as well. Very effective method, nice job bro. A tip though to anyone else looking to paint like this, lighter more misty multiple coats of paint tend to take longer to wear off. 4-5 very light dusting coats for the base layer works well in my experience. Thick coats will chip off alot easier. Also, if your colors end up a little darker than you meant to paint, you can hit it all with a very light coat of matte clear at the end to lighten shades up a bit and get a small amount of added wear resistance as a bonus. PS Rust-Oleum tends to last I bit longer than krylon in my experience, bet.
It just kept getting better and better. I thought the dish soap was a terrible idea and it turned out great. Then I thought changing the angle of the dish soap was a terrible idea and it turned out great again. Learrned learned. I'll never trust my own opinion again.
This is very likely the best-looking paint I've ever witnessed on a rifle. For several days I've been concerned regarding how I will paint a rifle I'm currently saving for. Well, this is it. I've been a professional gunslinger for more than 40 years. Wars, conflicts, mercenary work, and was actually there when practical shooting sports such as IPSC and IDPA were developed. Yeah, this is how I'm painting mine.
First time I've been surprised. This is something different. So many people just make the same video. I think this is the first weapon painting video where I learned something.
LOOKS GREAT, I JUST PAINTED MY 7615 WITH ENGINE ENAMEL, AND BAKED IT IN THE OVEN, BARREL AND RECEIVER IN CAST IRON, THE REST FLAT BLACK, BUT MIGHT JUST HAVE TO GET SOME MORE PAINT AND DISH SOAP.
Another way you can do this is start with green as base layer. Then cover with lighter and darker colors. It tricks the eye more. And use plants as a pattern mask. I always used some fake plants I got from a flower arrangement. They can be reused many times. That way you actually get the right shapes in your camo. Then the light and dark colors on top of the green look like light shining through a canopy onto the surface.
I agree with everyone saying that this is the most baddest ass tutorial for a rattle can paint job. I’m definitely doing this, but I think I’ll do just one coat.
Been thinking about spraying my airsoft rifles for some time now and just came across your video. Many thanks for this tutorial, very easy to follow and looks simple to do. Again thanks for sharing!
I followed this tutorial while painting my glock! Super thrilled that the results was so good! A little excess paint on a few spots but in all very good! Thanks for sharing!
Agree with others....best looking paint job I've seen. Camo doesn' need to be that detailed...but when your larping...larp on bother. Paint on flash hider will burn off after the first session...which is whatever dude, fire and smoke is cool.
I am totally terrified to do this, I have never painted an AR before... but this looks so bad ass that I have to go for it, thank you for the awesome video!
I’m also a little freaked out about doing it! But, I guess no matter the pattern it should look bad ass. Nice video! I just bought all the paint and some leafy stencils. Also, going to finish it off using a matte clear coat. Here we go!
This is awesome. I feel like starting woth the darker colors for the base then moving to the lighter colors for the soap effect would give it a lighter effect. Thanks for the idea!!
Thanks! And good luck on your project! Feel free to send me the results @3KOG on Facebook. With your permission I will post them, and help motivate others to paint their guns!
I never considered painting my guns but, I like that. Since I have 3 of the ar's, I think I'll try painting one of them and see how it turns out. I'll have to think on it before painting my scope though.
@@3KindsOfGuns I had a question good sir!😁 When you do this dish soap technique, do you take out the bolt carrier group, buffer tube spring ect.??? And, after rinsing with a garden hose, do you use an air compressor to dry it all out??? 🤔🤔
@@3KindsOfGuns Thanks bub! I got a GOOD BASE COAT, it's DRY now, after waiting 36hrs, I'm just waiting for 🌞 SUNSHINE, and 🌴 palm trees! It's been OVERCAST, ☁️ the past few days here in Fla... Once it's cleared, it's on like DONKEY KONG!!! 😆 🤣 😝🙈🙉🙊🐒
Might try this method on my next paint job.the ladt one i did was my scar l and i painted tan base coat let it dry and strerched a pair of fishnet tights over it and then sprayed the black on in random stripes for a snake skin type effect.
Thank you so much for this video. I wanted to paint my rifle but wanted to do something different than the stencils. I painted mine today and it looks awesome! Thanks!!!
