What recommendations for (or to stay away from) spray-on in a Flat Dark Earth color for an AR pistol? I'd rather not have to "bake on" anything but it's not completely out of the picture. The will most likely not see any hard use or throwing the gun down, etc. It's a new build with no more than 24 rds. through it. Any suggestions for what to use and/or what to stay away from? Thanks for any help.

But, but, it must be very nice since everyone has one! OD green would be my next choice ...................... or just leave it all black. I will most likely sell or trade it when completed (I have another AR pistol build in process).

I was joking of course. FDE is getting to be very common now, and at one time I was into FDE this and that, now, not so much.

Do FDE but be different, make patterns or get brush to make it look urban

Thanks for the recommendations, gentlemen. I'll probably just leave it as-is and let the new owner pick any color they want to make the change.
