How to spray damascus on a Block II

  1. 1. Strip it down

    Pull the bolt carrier group and charging handle, and split the upper from the lower. Take the optic off or plan to tape it.

  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 ejection port, magazine well, trigger and safety, and cover the optic lenses.

  4. 4. Base coat in black

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

  5. 5. Smoke gray through a topo map stencil

    Lay a topo map stencil sheet on the gun and spray smoke gray through it.

  6. 6. White through a topo map stencil

    Lay a topo map stencil sheet on the gun and spray white through it.

  7. 7. Let it cure
