How to rattle can your PSA B5 folder
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. 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 magazine well, trigger, safety lever and rear sight leaf. Scuff the wood lightly first or paint only the metal.
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 PSA B5 folder?
Yes. Paint the dust cover off the rifle so it still seats, keep paint off the bolt carrier and out of the trigger group, and decide early whether the furniture gets painted. Polymer takes paint after a scuff; wood can stay bare, and tiger stripe over the metal with bare wood is a classic look.
Should I Cerakote or spray paint my PSA B5 folder?
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 PSA B5 folder?
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.
