How to rattle can your Mossberg 590A1
1. Strip it down
Unload it, take the barrel off and pull the bolt assembly and trigger group if you can. Paint the stock and forend off the gun or tape the action bars.
2. Degrease everything
Wipe every outside surface with acetone or isopropyl alcohol. Paint will not hold over gun oil.
3. Mask what moves
Plug the chamber and muzzle, tape the ejection port, the loading gate, the trigger and safety, and the magazine tube cap threads.
4. Spray the lightest base
Two light coats of the lightest color, 8 to 12 inches away, 10 minutes apart. Thin coats stop runs.
5. Lay the pattern
Hold leaves, netting or a stencil sheet on the gun and spray the next darker color. Work light to dark and finish with black if the design uses it.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you spray paint a Mossberg 590A1?
Yes, if the working parts are masked. Keep paint out of the bore, chamber, bolt carrier group, trigger group and the inside of the receivers, and off the optic lenses. Paint on the outside of the receivers, handguard, stock and magazines does not affect function.
Should I Cerakote or spray paint my Mossberg 590A1?
Rattle can camo costs about 20 dollars, takes an afternoon and strips off with solvent, but it wears at the edges. Cerakote is baked on by a shop, runs a few hundred dollars and lasts for years. Try both here: the Cerakote colors are in the gun finish paints.
What color should I paint my Mossberg 590A1?
Flat Dark Earth, O.D. Green, Tungsten and Sniper Grey are the most asked for Cerakote colors, and Khaki, Olive and Brown are the rattle can camo standards. Paint them on the photo above to see them on this gun before you buy anything.
How do you get paint off a gun later?
Most aerosol camo paint comes off with acetone or a citrus paint stripper and a nylon brush. Test on a hidden spot first and keep strippers away from polymer parts that the solvent can soften.
Can you paint the barrel and muzzle device?
Standard camo paint burns and smokes on a hot barrel and muzzle device. Use a high heat engine or grill paint there, or leave them black. Suppressors need a coating rated for their temperature.
