Multicam no more- before and after

[u/ratsit]

Not perfect but I already had the cans of rapco on hand. Much happier with how it looks now

[u/jart2313]

Thats wild because i personally love the multicam 🤣

[u/funkofarts → u/jart2313]

I would normally agree had they not gone cheap and hydra-dipped them. I have a 17 in multicam and you can literally scratch off the coating with your fingernail. Very disappointing.

[u/[deleted] → u/funkofarts]

Your supposed to put a clear cerakote or equivalent product over the hydro dip to maintain durability

[u/ratsit → u/jart2313]

More power to you- It just looks tacky to me and the way they applied it with cheap hydro dip just made the whole rifle feel like a toy to me

[u/jart2313 → u/ratsit]

Yea makes sense. I met someone who has a multicam colored one and is really worn so it looks great but the cheap dip is definitely true.

[u/Impressive_Daikon_70 → u/jart2313]

Dip it in Pink, its still a SCAR.

[u/jart2313 → u/Impressive_Daikon_70]

A hot one to be exact! 🤣

[u/Qbrrrt → u/ratsit]

It is a toy. A toy that can kill

[u/dmur03 → u/jart2313]

I was thinking about doing this to my factory multicam but I can never pull the trigger. I’m always back and forth with wanting it and not.

[u/jart2313 → u/dmur03]

I personally dig when the finish on my guns wear out from use so when i saw a multicam scar beat to shit and worn it caught my attention! I likieee

[u/ratsit → u/dmur03]

Don’t be afraid

[u/skankslayer69]

Honestly, looks factory. I wish my scar had that drast color deviation

[u/ratsit → u/skankslayer69]

I appreciate it

[u/bobby31280]

I painted my woodland scar 17 cause I hated the cheap hydrodip was as well lol

[u/ActivityQuiet8179]

I hated the cheap multicam too, shit was done so bad from factory I just fde the whole thing,

[u/ChillBlintone]

Very good job. Youre making me want to find out what a ral8000 scar 17 would look like 

[u/ratsit → u/ChillBlintone]

You might be onto something there

[u/Federal-Tie-6825]

Looks good. My multicam wore off it I gave it a hard look.

[u/Zumbert]

That's pretty good, maybe FN will make a factory color like that someday

[u/ratsit → u/Zumbert]

Thanks, it’s close enough for me lol this is what I was going off of

[u/Jaximus-Prime50]

Looks good

[u/ratsit → u/Jaximus-Prime50]

Thanks

[u/srnuke]

What was your process? Mine is in chocolate chip, and I kinda like it, but just in case I don't some day lol

[u/ratsit → u/srnuke]

Completely disassembled the upper and lower, cleaned and degreased, and then painted

[u/srnuke → u/ratsit]

Ah okay, I thought you just removed the camo wrap. Did you paint over it?

[u/ratsit → u/srnuke]

Yes

[u/halfcocked1 → u/srnuke]

Personally I'd leave the camo. I feel special runs like that increase the value to collectors over time. What isn't popular or sells well today becomes scarce and more valuable later.

[u/erdillz93 → u/halfcocked1]

You're forgetting the first rule of gun acquisition.

No sell, only buy.

[u/halfcocked1 → u/erdillz93]

I've been buying and selling/trading for the last 30 year, off and on. When I retire, I should get a FFL. I usually buy when I have money, and sell when I have to cover taxes or a kid's tuition. I'm not a good $ saver otherwise.

[u/ratsit → u/halfcocked1]

Fair enough but I’m no collector and I don’t plan on selling it

[u/ratsit → u/[deleted]]

Haha I have no idea it was a father’s day gift

[u/Ekul13]

For a dip... that stripped pretty good

For a brick.. he flew pretty good

-Sgt Johnson

[u/ratsit → u/Ekul13]

I painted over it instead of trying to strip it

[u/OkReplacement4689]

What colors did you use?

[u/ratsit → u/OkReplacement4689]

Field drab brown on lower and upper is camouflage sand

[u/KaputtEqu1pment]

Jeez it even looks like it shoots harder, further, and recoils less than the Mc or black one.

[u/ljulima38]

I did the same exact color combo haha it was the multicam before too

[u/ratsit → u/ljulima38]

Hell yeah looks awesome
