How to spray desert blotch on a Sig M400

  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 sand

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

  5. 5. Lay the desert blotch pattern

    Soft brown clouds over sand. Spray 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.
