White ar furniture?

[mossy89]

So my fiance wants a gun, so I figure ill get her a .223 or something. But anyway, she wants it to be white. Well, she wants everything white but the upper and lower receivers and the barrell. I cant find any white stocks, grips, or handguards anywhere. So, I guess my next step is to paint some of my own. Any of you know where to find already white ar stuff? Or tips on how to paint it and what I should use?

I'm not sure where to buy white furniture, but you could check out DuraCoat or Brownells Alumahyde. I haven't used either, but when I was looking to paint my 6.8 AR those were the two that I ended up mainly looking at. I'm not sure if Alumahyde comes in white, but DuraCoat comes in just about any color you could want. (She could even have it pink)

Only thing I've ever seen is mostly white in winter camo somewhere recently. Painting is possible, but would be something of a trick...you have probably three different material substrates to deal with on an AR. Duracoat would probably do it, but I sure would check with them for advice.

There are some white ones out there but they are scarce. Cavalry Arms made their polymer lowers in lots of colors from pink to purple to black but selling firearms to illegal buyers gets a company put out of business. Here is the one I built on one of their lowers for my finace.

Well, where can i purchase white duracoat? and how do I do it? Ive looked for it and cant find it anywhere.

I have seen a bunch of ppl paint their guns camo colors - so painting one white should not be an issue..

This site has pretty much any color you want. Took me all day to find this.

Sorry mossy89, I should have included a link or something for you. You should have plenty of choices on colors, I think they also have some good information about how to apply it.

Here's the link to the white:

Personally, I recommend getting a fair amount of the reducer for cleaning (I also use their Trustrip degreaser for prep); it helps clean the equipment off far better than anything else I've tried. It is difficult to coat dark things to light colors (you end up having to make it pretty thick), so I might recommend starting with flat dark earth furniture instead of black (if possible). Even then, you might need multiple coats.

For application, the cheap airbrush from Harbor Freight works really well; just use a regulator set to 25psi or so.

It isn't hard to apply, but I would recommend doing it outside... it really will stink up the house.

if you havent already painted it have you thought about dipping it or sending it out for a powder coat?

for home, (they also let you send your rifle in)
