FX DRS DIY splatter paint 🎨

This DIY garage art was inspired by the Utah Airguns custom shop. They built an M4 with a similar “splatter paint” job.

I don’t have the means to cerakote any longer, so I wrangled up some less-than-permanent acrylic paint.

Now...mask of the scope lenses, and anything else that "shouhldn't...be painted, and do the whole gun.
Scope, the rest of the barrel covers, the stock, etc., etc.

Nice work.

As an old guy why I like the splatter paint:

recreational airguns look far better when they aren't trying to be so serious looking & tying to fit in w the HP PBs. The tacticool scheme has been over-played IMO. Throw a little color or better yet some wood & it changes everything aesthetically.

Furthermore it might make the activity more approachable to non-shooters for the looks + all the other reasons that we're all here. Some mfrs seem to
be on this trenda bit, but black guns still prevail.

Field guns are exempt obviously for practical reasons.

I watched a YouTube video where the guy had painted his in nerf colors…IMO, one of coolest I’ve seen.
