How to rattle can your LC Carbine
1. Strip it down
Field strip it the way the manual shows: pull the magazine, the bolt or bolt carrier and the charging handle, and take the optic off or plan to tape it.
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, magazine well, trigger and safety, and cover the optic lenses.
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 rattle can an LC Carbine?
Yes, you can spray paint it 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 LC Carbine?
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 LC Carbine?
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.

- PlanningAR Build Cost CalculatorHow much does it cost to build an AR-15? Pick caliber, barrel length, stock or brace and optic, then drag both edges of the price band from the cheap end to the top end. Every slot fills with the part builders add most that is in stock, priced live. The headline total is the core rifle, optics and extras are priced separately, and beside them sits what builders really pay per slot, measured from real part picks. Roll a random build, or open yours in the builder in one click. Computed from over 1 million AR parts selected on GunPartPicker since 2020.

Pick where you start, where you are going and what is coming along: carry pistol, AR-15, magazines, suppressor, SBR, brace, forced reset or binary trigger, hollow points. Every state on the route is checked for transporting firearms across state lines: magazine limits, assault weapon bans, NFA rules, carry permit type and trigger bans, with what to do before the state line.
- CompatibilityMuzzle Thread CheckerPick your barrel's caliber and platform, get the standard thread pitch, and see every muzzle device and suppressor in the catalog that actually threads on, with live prices.

- PlanningNight VisionLook around a real 360 degree scene through Gen 1, Gen 2+, Gen 3 green and white phosphor tubes, digital night vision and thermal. Turn the moon down from full to overcast, switch on an IR light, compare two devices side by side. Or walk a 3D farm at night and spot the people, hogs and deer hiding in it. Then see the PVS-14, PVS-31, GPNVG-18 and the thermal scopes people buy, with prices.
