How to spray splinter on an M24

  1. 1. Strip it down

    Pull the bolt, take the barreled action out of the stock, and take the scope off or bag it. The stock and the barreled action paint best apart.

  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 bolt raceway, the magazine well, the trigger and the scope lenses and turrets. Leave the inletting where the action sits bare.

  4. 4. Base coat in khaki

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

  5. 5. Lay the splinter pattern

    Sharp angular shards, cold war style. Spray woodland light green, then brown, 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.
