Used three paints; Tan Primer for Plastic, Texture Tan with the color flakes, and finally matte Clear coat

What items I didn’t take off the stock I wrapped them up in painters tape. I also use the dremel with a 120 grit sanding wheel to widen the barrel channel to assure no touching points on the barrel and get rid of the ridges from the injection molding process

Started with a base of the tan primer that specifically adheres to Plastic

Minimum of 40 mins of dry time between painting

That is a very good looking job. It is a real improvement over the factory stock.

It was a good day.
