How to spray chocolate chip on an AK-47

  1. 1. Strip it down

    Take off the dust cover, recoil spring, bolt carrier and gas tube. Paint the dust cover off the rifle so it still seats.

  2. 2. Degrease everything

    Wipe every outside surface with acetone or isopropyl alcohol. Paint will not hold over gun oil.

  3. 3. Mask what moves

    Plug the chamber and muzzle, tape the magazine well, trigger, safety lever and rear sight leaf. Scuff the wood lightly first or paint only the metal.

  4. 4. Base coat in sand

    Two light coats over the whole gun, 8 to 12 inches away, 10 minutes apart.

  5. 5. Lay the chocolate chip pattern

    Six color desert: brown bands with black and white rocks. Spray khaki, then brown, then black, then white, light to dark, letting each color flash off before the next.

  6. 6. Let it cure

    Handle it after an hour but give it a full day before it goes in a case, and a few days before hard use.
