A-TACS IX Camo rifle painting tutorial

Painting A-TAC IX camp on an ar-15 sopmod! It’s a long tutorial and isn’t edited very well, but it shows everything you need and the techniques required! Feel free to ask any questions!
The colors are, field drab, Olive drab, Earth yellow, Earth brown, sand, flat black and olive green

[@MegaChevy65]

I just finished mine using your technique. Came out amazing. 👍. Used my own colors to match these woods out here. Almost lost my gun for a second.

[@CP-ex9ce]

😂

[@zachblakeslee4295]

Probably one of the best paint jobs I’ve seen

[@zachblakeslee4295]

@Lincoln Ransford weird flex but okay

[@Overit5000]

Seconded

[@jayonez137]

Agreed

[@Calofficial16]

I was thinking that exact thing ! Bravo . Finally someone who understands the assignment .

[@rodfeher]

agreed

[@razorwire3056]

I am getting ready to paint my AR and I have probably watched 75 videos so far.... When you painted the black stripes, Ithought this is gonna suck. I almost turned it off. But I didn't.... And this is my gun. I am doing this to mine. WELL DONE. Thank you

[@loosebolts4537]

Most intricate rifle painting video I’ve seen and I watched til the end. This rifle is the definition of camouflage one of the best designs I’ve seen.

[@ClodiusP]

This is just about the best gun painting tutorial I've seen. Results look fantastic. Thanks for sharing

[@johnjacobs7283]

Hands down the best rifle paint job I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to try it.

[@jayonez137]

Wow this is definitely the best approach I’ve seen so far. And I am in construction for 37 years and know all about sponge painting and didn’t even think about that myself. Genius

[@TheChubbyKid]

Small precautions but I highly recommend taping the trigger/ trigger hole, plug your barrel with a foam ear plug and tape your scope lens even if you have a flip up cover over it. Looks great! Well done.

[@m118lr]

…yep. I do a LOT of prep work PRIOR to any paint hitting them. Trigger pins, FSP..just detail work that THEN makes the paint scheme “POP”..

[@Pappa052]

I painted my old weatherby a few years back and it was awesome but I broke the entire rifle down and taped off anything vital

[@eagleclaw6]

Seriously one of the best camo jobs Ive ever seen!

[@mikeruiz8855]

Didn’t think atacs could be replicated as a pattern for painting a rifle but you hit it dead on! Was getting ready to do mesh pattern on my rifle but gonna have a go at this. Nice job!!!

[@rosslong9259]

Did you end up trying this? Curious how non professional attempts turn out

[@mikeruiz8855]

I did not. Ended up doing my own take on mesh and this concept with no sponge and turned out pretty well. Ended up doing my scope and red dot as well. You start to get the hang of it after the first few passes.

[@darrenjones2070]

The best paint job I've ever seen on an AR Platform.

[@holdenwilky4922]

Probably one of the absolute best paint jobs on a rifle Iv ever seen

[@ColtCommander45]

I've view a dozen or so videos on how to camo an AR and this is the one for me. thanks so much!

[@c.k.l.2154]

Just love your work! The best paint job I've seen.

[@paulfujita6344]

Not sure if I’m able to fully express how much this SLAPS. Amazing

[@clemfandango2749]

Excellent video. This is the best rattlecan job I've seen by far. Thank you.

[@Indarknessyeshallknowthem]

Absolutely a fantastic camo application

[@rsenl7270]

Very nice job! I think that's the best A-tacs paint job I've seen done using spray paint.

[@OregonBladez]

The sponge technique does an excellent job of breaking up this hard lines. Nice job, great camo!

[@adamkiss6890]

I love it! Best camo paintjob I have ever seen! Might try it out

[@beber1873]

Genius man. Way to kill it with creativity and talent.

[@SLcompany_watch]

What a paintjob. It looks so nice

[@hawaiianmade1947]

Looks amazing! I might have to try your techniques on my AR-15 soon. Great job!

[@badtchad4935]

You really did an excellent job. One of the best I’ve seen. 👍🏻

[@seanpb8813]

Abosultely Incredible job man. I love the tiger stripe design and colors, simply one of the coolest camos in my opinion.

[@paullinn1405]

Awesome work! Great content. This has given me some great ideas. Thank you

[@ronsmith9251]

Looks good!! I keep coming back to this one.

[@jasonreinke9907]

Looks super good. I would have stopped after step 3, but that's just my taste. One of the best paint jobs I have ever seen!

[@m118lr]

Yeah, this is by FAR the best ‘rattle can’ RIFLE camo job on y/t, period. I’ve done 2 AR’’s so far..1 of mine and 1 of my son’s AR’s. Proud of both and it did take some time to get my sons ‘right’, although it wasn’t what he initially wanted. HE WANTED “ATACS” and I couldn’t figure out a way/and hadn’t seen anyone do it. VERY nice job! I’ll give this a try, just have to figure out WHICH is going to get painted..

[@trdpro2012]

Did mine last week I’m very happy with it

[@ryleysoftair7635]

what a crazy job, well done.

[@jisu222]

That turned out amazing.

[@mattmaness2841]

Damn, that's as close as you can get it without hydro dip!! Awesome job!!

[@chimneyguys3214]

best job i have seen yet! great work

[@JimiBanda]

this is got to be the best paint job I have seen. Well done!

[@koori3085]

Excellent patience and proficiency, satisfactory!

[@atomiklam]

Way better than the rest of the paintjobs I've seen on youtube, thanks for sharing the sponge idea.

[@tee6519]

Absolutely great job ..best I seen done yet!

[@danielmcbride1619]

That was killer , I’ve been trying to get ideas and so far that’s by far the best

[@keithboyer3210]

Bro that turned out amazing, nice job!

[@mightymqb4800]

Best I've ever seen, unreal job.

[@apollo3679]

That is absolutely amazing dude.

[@trdpro2012]

Wow… unreal man. Looks amazing

[@swannybo1sk8s9]

Definitely the best rattle can spray job I’ve ever seen mad props man imma be copying this soon

[@patches6309]

Im doing a Rhodesian BAby poop themed paint job on my SA58 & you just inspired me to do this paint job now on my AR10! Very cool looking pattern & you did a great job. Thank you for the tips and motivation to do this to some of my collection!

[@papabillydeth4723]

This is the best weapon paint job I’ve seen on youtube

[@sambenge9140]

Probably the best camo pattern. Slick job

[@rokko854]

Holy hell!! What a great job you did!

[@cammed_chevy9285]

That came out badass!

[@twistnshout3031]

Definitely one of the. Nicest paint jobs. Definitely going to have to use some of these techniques

[@vernonthompson3060]

Dude is the rifle paint whisperer.... Like watching Picsso work.... Nicely done sir.

[@chrislandrum62]

Incredible. Thanks for posting

[@treverdavis5881]

Yep ! That's pretty badass brother. Gonna do this the same way u did on a spare p365 frame that a pro shop screwed up on. Thank you for the video.

[@rawwallace2209]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

[@calholli]

It's funny how mixing the paint never occurred to me, when it's so obvious. :) It looks great. Picking the right sponge is key. I used a dish washing scrub and the sponge "holes" or gaps were too close and it didn't look near as good.

[@righteousone8454]

This is honestly genius. Sponge. Never tried that before. Thank you, will definitely use that

[@BlackOpzPenguin]

Looks amazing, definitely going to try my hand at this!

[@mikeshepard3602]

Looks killer, nice job!!

[@UtubeEric12345]

Wow! I must admit that I was a bit sceptic at first but you really won me over! Great job!

[@plmkoo6772]

AMAZING work!

[@LO-wm1mp]

That is the sickest gun paint job I've ever seen

[@richardvila3]

The best I have seen so far!

[@kuroshmaheri8404]

Looks great!

[@timothywren3145]

One of the best paint jobs I have seen. Just need the 123 listed!!

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

Wow, that looks legit. Well done

[@jm4114]

This is just great - thanks a lot for sharing!

[@eriksixx1226]

This guy is an artist.

[@outdoorzone]

Love ATACS! You did good!!!

[@brotherkron]

Hell yeah dude looks good 👍 thanks for sharing.

[@ismann9148]

Camo done right. Great job.

[@luckyboyyt8582]

This is so good! Thanks for the video!

[@Patriot_80]

Absolutely incredible! I’m gonna do the same but probably won’t come out nearly as good as yours!

[@davidhr121]

It looks great Mr . Ross 👍

[@ChemonV69]

One of the best on KZbin!

[@ralphsawyer9535]

Got me rethinking sponge daubing. Looks great... I was afraid you were going to end up with mud but silly me, she's badass. Thanks for sharing your technique🍻

[@JustAnotherPaddy]

Wow. I’ve been planning on doing a few of mine in ATACS FG. I leave out the black and I think I’m there with what you did. That use of the sponge was key. Really gives it the dimension that ATACS has. Thanks for sharing this.

[@bushcraftandprepping]

I’m planning on using this to do a cross between ATACS AU and FG, where it’s a bit more AU but the greens work well in my mountain desert area.

[@jhall19k45]

Best I've seen on KZbin. My buddy did a jungle camo rattle can job that turned out almost as good as this

[@kevinbrennan4964]

That is insane!!!!!!!!! 👌

[@SheikOutdoors]

wow that came out great !

[@timlance7656]

That is cool thanks for sharing. I really like your way.

[@nate081304]

Damn that turned out good!

[@ef2967]

That looks sick. You did a hell of a job on that. Was gonna keep mine stock till I saw this, now Im gonna have to paint it. :D

[@nicholascheadle5871]

Wow, came together way better than I expected. Definitely going to put this one in the bank, may try this on one soon.

[@larrypratt6514]

WOW you did a wonderful job

[@jwes5725]

Wow , that’s really nice

[@mr.fringeminority5426]

YES! That's awesome. I'm going to have to save this video so it doesn't go missing on me when I'm ready to my own.

[@wwclay86]

nicely done brother! great job.

[@TheHighAngler]

Outstanding!

[@miriamcurtis2337]

Looks great.

[@lemonjelly]

Amazing job fellas - keep up the good work

[@NoStepOnSnake1776]

Looks great

[@jimconway6524]

I think it looks pretty good!

[@datseb997]

Fantastic work

[@amaniv.9692]

Awesome work!! 😎

[@bandersen20]

This is probably the best rattle can camo paint job on KZbin

[@johnhaivala561]

SIC Brother!! Great pattern. Great work!

[@fomoco85]

I wrapped my f150 in A-TACS fg back in 2013 and did this exact same process for the frame, valve covers, intake and interior panels for added detail

[@PappyHolliday]

The ATACS patterns are pretty sharp. I’ve never thought of painting my AR that style. When I get a new ammo can I camo it up. Great work.

[@robertswitzer3630]

Gonna paint an AR for the first time. Watched a lot of videos. This is the paint style I like best.

[@SenpaiKai888]

stunning good job sir

[@EatToxicWaste]

THAT is a nice camo job. Waaay better than the quick laundry bag method. Nice work.
