Paint it? Coat it? Shoot it?

Since opinions are like assholes and we have plenty of those to go around here, thought I would pick everyone's brains.

Trying to decide what to do with the rifle in the picture below. I basically have three options on my plate.

Option #1- don't do anything, it's fine just the way it is. Shoot the darn thing.

Option #2- pull the handguard and have it cerakoted to match the upper and lower receivers. It looks horrible the way it is.

Option #3- get some Krylon and try my hand at some sort of camo job. Cheaper and quicker than cerakote and will definitely improve the looks of the piece.

All thoughts and opinions welcome. Thanks.

I've always wanted to krylon something. Just haven't grew the balls to actually make the step.

I think it looks fine if you plan on shooting it. If it's a safe queen I'd choose #2

Did you just pick all three options?

Sometimes more is less Ray.
Sexy as is.

It looks like it shoots to me

Krylon wipes off with carb cleaner if you don't like it...

Just shoot it. If anything I think the stock not matching is worse than the hand guard.

Do you mean the stock being a slightly different shade of tan? Or the stock not being black? In person, the stock is so close to the same color as the receivers you can hardly tell a difference.

Leave it as is, or cerakote, but those hand guards are too nice for krylon. That is coming from someone who would love to have those hand guards but can't afford them, so take it for what it's worth.

Unless you plan to keep it forever PLEASE DO NOT RATTLE CAN IT. I have seen some really nice items in the TP. decent pricing. BUT once i see that spray paint shit , i don't even bother. I picked up a rattle can AR ONCE. Sure the paint comes off easy, IF YOU PAINT over it. Spray paint don't come off nothing easy. plus it makes it harder to sell.
