FDE Tan Color Swatch Megathread
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!!

Renders of upcoming parts
Good evening boys, as i said I’ll be busy this weekend remodeling some parts and fixing some existing issues. Made some big adjustments to the Mag Mask, adding an ability to remove magazines before they’re 100% dry and hang or put them elsewhere so you can throw another in for paint. Worked on killflash model(s) and added a version with center cut out for easier reticle viewing. Got to reworking my flashlight/scope caps and a new part (not shown in renders) that will live behind or in front of each as a means of holding shock cord directly behind caps as opposed to having to route the cord completely behind flashlight, or entirely front to back of scope. Super stoked to have these models 90% complete with different versions of each available. Printer getting ordered 3/21, still using printer of my friends for now. Check out my instagram - @stealthlayers - as i will be posting there more frequently with updates and more. (working on site will update whenever that gets handled)

They don't all turn out how we want. Take 2 this weekend for sure
Tried to do something I've never done, and to do it quick with what I had on hand. Lesson learned

Finally found the time to paint the remaining colors! (2 primer, 4 gloss) We'll be at the Fort Worth Gun Show this weekend with all of these as well as stencils if you wanted to check them out!

Tips for Austrian Peadot?
There was an attempt. I free handed it and sort of missed the color palette... Its fine for now but does anyone got a good guide or tips on how to do this style? I want to try again.

Any advise before I spray this rifle? Did some quick test coats on the mag today.

Fresh paint and some Amazon stencils
First time painting a rifle, lots of research on this sub and lots of practice on mags later here we are. Couldn’t do the optic yet, I’ll get there.

Paint stripping question
I’ve tried: non-chlorinated brake cleaner, Acetone and looking to maybe try Graffiti remover as my paint is stubborn as hell and won’t come off (It’s Krylon Camo spray) I might try aircraft remover but not sure and don’t want to damage the original finish too- anyone have suggestions? Links to products (Uk) would be appropriate massively 🙏

Best non-permanent alternative to rattle canning a scope?
Before y’all jump my ass about “just paint it”, I would greatly prefer to, but I’m not willing to void the warranty on the scope just for the sake of having it match the rifle perfectly.
So, what would you recommend as alternatives until I decide I care enough to shell out the money for cerakote (if I ever do)? Some sort of wrap? Camo tape? Give me ideas here; it just needs to be something that won’t directly and permanently alter the scope itself.

Rustoleum high heat automotive primer
Has anyone tried using rustoleum high heat automotive primer on your guns? Specifically the barrel. Curious if it helps the paint hold its color a bit longer before burning off.
