Came out awesome & you learned the same lesson I did. Gloves from start to finish. Prep work & keeping the piece clean is paramount to a great finish every time.

@righteousriverfishinginoregon7 Yeah, the colors look great! Keep up the great videos. Maybe an update video when you finish the rifle out? I'd like to see how the build turns out.
@@mattrogers2701 I will. The build is sick. I think you'll be surprised at what I've put together. Very few brands, and include Aero Precision, Strike Industries, and a few Magpul pieces. Stay tuned.
Excellent results! Your attention to detail and care in the process really paid off. Cool AF. Also, subscribed and am looking forward the the 223 wilde headspacing video.
Great thanks!! I'm super happy with the paint, and the build results which I just finished. The headspace video is important, I believe, because it shows what you need to buy and don't need to buy to check headspace on 223 Wylde. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Sweet! The paint kit has plenty of paint for several projects. Have fun with it and make sure you have ALL DAY reserved for this project so you can time the drying periods perfectly. Good luck!
Good video. Didn't know either of these vendors or their products existed. I've been looking for a way to do an M81 pattern on my PSA Sabre ever since Duramag put out their M81 anodized mags. Will definitely be following your process! Thanks for putting this video together!
Yeah, I love the M81 pattern and wore that uniform, so I thought it would be cool to paint that pattern. It took me a long time to find these products, but they are really awesome. But, if you use it then use clear coat. It really helps cover blemishes. Good luck!
@@righteousriverfishinginoregon7 I wore it too (joined up early 2002) and it remains one of my favorites. Works well in my area (Middle TN) but Flecktarn probably works a touch better. Thanks again!
Awesome! I would love to see the results. Have fun with that project and make sure you have the entire day for the project. The drying and timing are critical and you need time. @@Paulie771
Ha! Thanks! I actually wanted to pay someone, but I couldn't find the right person so I did what I normally do.... research, buy products, and then do it myself. It wasn't that bad but it does take an entire day. Thanks for the comment. I'm breaking it in now and i love it.
Not really because I already had plans to use a new black strike industries dust cover and i needed to paint the lip under the cover. Good observation though.
I know this is an older video... but I would HIGHLY discourage you from using simple green on your aluminum parts and pieces. Simple Green's chemical make up causes Hydrogen Embrittlement when applied to Aluminum... The US army even lost a CH-47 to the stuff back in the day
@righteousriverfishinginoregon7 Awesome! I live in Salem & I have a membership at a private outdoor/indoor range if your ever in the area. I am always up for linking up with like-minded people.
Hey sorry about comments being turned off. RUclips did that when I wasn't looking. On the headspace video the handguard was the ZRODELTA Range Ready LVOA Rail. I bought it on a complete build but they also sell it for $150 or so. I believe they give a military discount. Thanks for the comment.
Great question. Because all the internal parts were not painted I had little to no problems assembling the lower. The takedown pins are the only pins that go in tough at first, but they are very easy to work and get moving properly. On this build, surprisingly the mags were a little tough at first, but after a few push pulls they work fine now. @@herbertmartin4320
You would think so but I didn't have a problem with them. The mad well did make the mags fit in tight for a while, even though the well is flared, but I just worked it until everything functioned well.
You're probably right. It might not be the best solution for your EDC, but who needs to camouflage an EDC anyway. It's not for show and tell, it's to have the element of surprise. This method does have its place and purpose and it's really cool. Thanks for commenting.
I'm not like many people and don't have french fry hands. My hands are clean, the product came out great, and handling the receiver did not affect the paint job in any way. Thanks for comment!
BDU isn't a camo pattern. Battle Dress Uniforms come in a variety of colors/patterns. I do appreciate the video, but I'm not a fan of the end result. But who cares as long as you like it.
You are correct and pay great attention to details so I assume you must have been in the military like I was. I updated the video title to say BDU M81 Camo which I hope will make you a bit more accepting of my work. And yes, I do love it. It's bad ass. Take care my fellow comrad in arms. www.freedomstencils.com/products/bdu-camouflage-stencil-kit?variant=42089728330¤cy=USD&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2KitBhCIARIsAPPMEhJ5Ujz7oHs5jWs1VbX5IPSEwwZ9gcrJhnAAL3tnwcpUHtY6aIuRmwEaAqK-EALw_wcB
Honestly i think that paint is either hot garbage or perhaps wasnt applied properly. Not talking shit about u or anything but still oily means poor adhesive normally. Taking a rag and rubbing down your paint job will help with sticking. While i do think a songle thin layer of clear is ok it also does increase the shine which isnt ideal 3 coats and man the shine on that will stick out. Good job for the pattern though next time go with BCM upper 😂
Good comment. I really don't know much about paint quality except for the price lol. I did not like how sticky it was after completing the layers, which is why I clear coated it. Maybe I just should have let it cure for several days to see if it firmed up....idk. I understand it shines, but I don't have a problem with that. I really don't climb around in the jungle much. And, I do love Aero Precision so I like to match the upper and lower with the same brand. I will need to check out BCM. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@righteousriverfishinginoregon7 it looks good don't listen to the haters. They only hate when it's something they want to do but can't do it any better

If you shake a can more than 6 times per year, one of those paint can holding devices that insert into a Sawzall to shake it up are worth the cost.
Okay thanks.
Now that looks super cool 😎 👍. Very nice 👍

Wish I had your patience buddy. Turned out badass

Thanks!!!!
Turned out very nice sir!!👍👍
Hey thanks! I really like it too.
Great job! Looks amazing!
Thanks a lot. I love it. Just like my Air Force fatigues.
One mistake though. Should have put the dust cover on so it would match the camo when closed.
Not really because I already had plans to use a new black strike industries dust cover and i needed to paint the lip under the cover. Good observation though.
Nice job, my man !!!!
Thanks! I appreciate it. I love it.
They gonna drag you for taping off the logo lol. The rustolium flat camo paint is great, wouldn't clear coat it though. Looks nice.
Maybe but I love it. Thanks!
Looks pretty cool
Thanks Isaiah! That's my brother's name. Solid name.

Hey Elijah, what handguard did you use in the video detailing headspace in the Wylde chamber? Thanks.

@@righteousriverfishinginoregon7 Thanks! Love your channel. Proclaim the gospel with boldness.
@@bowermate007 amen! Thanks for the encouragement! Fish on!
Turned out nice, how did it hold up?
I don't know because I just finished it but I'm confident that with the 3 coats of matte clear coat it will hold up well.
The clear coats where the sauce is. You can use cheap paint with good clear and get great results. @@righteousriverfishinginoregon7
@@righteousriverfishinginoregon7did the parts go back in without a problem as far as fitment due to the spray paint?
Great question. Because all the internal parts were not painted I had little to no problems assembling the lower. The takedown pins are the only pins that go in tough at first, but they are very easy to work and get moving properly. On this build, surprisingly the mags were a little tough at first, but after a few push pulls they work fine now. @@herbertmartin4320
@@righteousriverfishinginoregon7 sweet I’m going to try it on a Anderson upper and lower see how it comes out
Rule number one when painting anything. you always start with the lightest color then work your way to darker colors.
Interesting rule. What rulebook are you referring to? Interesting perspective. Thanks for watching.
If you get paint inside of the trigger's pin holes, are the pins harder to install?
You would think so but I didn't have a problem with them. The mad well did make the mags fit in tight for a while, even though the well is flared, but I just worked it until everything functioned well.
This project didn’t require any scuffing or sanding?
Required is subjective. I didn't, but the paint I used had primer in it. Only time will tell. Thanks for watching.
If you do this in a pistol you can't tell me you won't scratch and start peeling and putting it in a holster all the time

Took the time to degrease the surface, then immediately handled the receivers with your bare hands. Multiple times. That's my only critique.
I'm not like many people and don't have french fry hands. My hands are clean, the product came out great, and handling the receiver did not affect the paint job in any way. Thanks for comment!
