CONTEXT: I just bought my first rifle, an Umarex HK 416 AEG, and I want to camouflage it for my kit that I’m building, which is going to be (hopefully) fully Flecktarn, but if I can’t find something in Flecktarn I’ll settle for RG.
So, in order to camouflage my rifle, I want to do either rattle can stripes or sponge, or maybe a combination of the two. I’m most likely going to do sponge, or maybe a marriage between the two with a stripe or one-tone base and sponge layers on top of it, but I was curious what more experienced airsofters thought of my idea, as I really only have one friend in the community and he hasn’t gone for a couple years, so he said he couldn’t accurately tell me since it’s been so long.
Long story short, how should I paint my rifle? Also, what color attachments should I get to match the rifle, and should I paint those too? )I’m getting a laser light combo and a red dot.)
P.S. I will be painting my polymer mags to match when I get them.
