Painting my M4

The time honored tradition of sitting down with a rifle, a couple bottles of Krylon,  a case of beer and no clear plan came home to me this last week. As my family has been out and away, I decided to get in touch with my artistic side. Its shallow, but occasionally needs a scratch.

Ever notice how posed photographs LOOK posed?  Its a lame effect that only happens when people try too hard... About 2 beer and 15 screwed up passes of the Krylon into the job, your shit will tend to even out and look like a professionally unprofessional paint job.  ;-)

IMO, pre-cut, iron-on patterns with gloss finishes are o.k. for little kids, but some folk still prefer to paint their field guns like a man. Some will NOT agree with me, but I think they tend to be of the "paint a purple picture of Barney," paint-chip eating variety.

Proper photos will be posted when I have access to a camera that doesn't have "The Flintstones" cartooned on to the side.
