How to spray paint rifle magazines, DIY custom camo using dish soap and t-shirts.

[@CutlassOutdoors]

That turned out really well. I’ve been binge watching gun painting videos for the last few days, looking for my favorite ideas, and this is my favorite pattern I’ve seen so far.

[@SaveFace]

Thank you, awesome to hear!

[@judsontaylor3484]

this is the best method that i've found to do a convincing multicam without stickers

[@SaveFace]

Right on! Thank you, I feel the same way

[@drewhobbs6837]

What I like the most is you did a great job doing the same thing 100’s have done but was unique in the final product.

[@SaveFace]

Thank you man, that's kinda what I'm going for!

[@tangomantactical]

I'm a professional Cerakoter and thus have never taken the spary can route. I'm also a autobody collision painter and tech. I've had a spray gun in my hands for 32yrs. You can understand why I don't care for Krylon. I will say both mags look very good. The best rattle can job I've seen,and I live on KZbin. As I said they both look great,but I personally like the one without the mesh coat.

[@SaveFace]

Hey thanks man, I appreciate the kind feedback! The new "caps" on a lot of krylon cans are absolute garbage, ill pass on a color i like if it has it. If only all cans took male caps like the good ol days haha. I want to venture into cerakote eventually, any beginner diy resources you can recommend?

[@selder03]

I've been doing the Dawn soap method on my surfboards since the early 90s. So excited to see it on mags

[@integrity262]

Wish I never sold my 1980’s town & country tri-fin!Tried looking online to no avail.Just turned 50 years old this year.Miss surfing and calling the surf report number non stop.Delray and Sebastian Inlet Florida.

[@scott2228]

Wow, soap for the win.

[@Stacker_Actual]

Dude that’s RIDICULOUS!!! What a genius idea with the soap. I just painted some mags but I definitely am going to repaint now with this technique

[@SaveFace]

Heck yeah, give it a shot! Thanks

[@easemailboxes]

That looks absolutely awesome. I'm going to try it on my little duck boat.

[@SaveFace]

Thank you! What's a little duck boat?

[@WilldaBear]

Amazing outcome. Definitely have to try this out.

[@SaveFace]

Thank you, give it a shot!

[@richardg.6534]

the trick with the soap is simple but ingenious

[@Cheezwizzz]

Faaaantastic job!! The strips of T-shirt and soap is genius!

[@SaveFace]

Thanks man! I thought the shirt strips would be an easy and cool stencil.

[@Cheezwizzz]

@@SaveFace I thought I’d have to cut numerous pieces of masking tape, but your idea simplifies the process, bravo man!!

[@branden5972]

These are the coolest painted mags I’ve seen hands down my dude! Great video!

[@SaveFace]

Thank you man, I appreciate it!

[@vincenta.1677]

Damn cool brother! I've got a couple of techniques I use ,Always love to learn new stuff ! Damn sure be easy to lose in da woods 😁👍

[@StantonLuke]

The soap adds amazing separation!!

[@SaveFace]

Yep, can get some very cool and unique patterns with the soap!

[@pabuffa]

The soap method is amazing

[@Dynomitedog2]

That was a fast and cool video on how to, keep up the good work.

[@jasonwebb6885]

Really cool, nice job and thanks for the tutorial

[@KidWitHearts]

I appreciate you brother! Thanks for the Honestly and upfront on how to do this!

[@SaveFace]

Thank you bro, appreciate it!

[@stoneblue1795]

I like both of the mags you did quite a bit. Great technique, that would be fun on a motorcycle gas tank or fairing in more urban colors, blues and grays, with a short shot of red in maybe the mesh dots as an accent splash. Thanks for posting!

[@SaveFace]

Thank you! I have messed around with some more urban colors, I agree that it could look sick on a gas tank etc.

[@frankm8477]

Love the cotton strip method.

[@SaveFace]

It's easy and can produce cool unique results that sticker stencils can't.

[@stoneblue1795]

I had not seen that before either, worked great!

[@xinixxagnix201]

That first khaki color is so beautyfull , very nice work bro.

[@SaveFace]

Thank you!

[@racebiketuner]

Thanks for letting us know brand of paint and color names.

[@zoolook888]

That was seriously impressive! 👏

[@SaveFace]

Appreciate it!

[@kamb4611]

Sweet job! If only I could do that to my AR too, lol! Definitely will try desert camo on a few mags. Thanks for the tip, bro.

[@SaveFace]

Thank you! Sub the darker green with another darker tan, and you've got a cool desert camo I think. If you make some mags you like, you should paint the ar the same way!

[@ratagris21]

Good looking pattern and unique method. Almost looks like Rhodesian Brush stroke. 🎩♠🎯🏁🏵🇺🇸💙💛🌻

[@SaveFace]

Thank you! I'm working on some brush stroke type patterns right now.

[@anasiangirly]

I did a tiger stripe pattern! It turned out great with your t shirt idea

[@SaveFace]

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@HoboBob]

Holy crap that is awesome! I'm gonna paint some guns this way!

[@SaveFace]

Right on!!

[@OKBushcraft]

The new one was better to me. Great video.

[@matthewriegner5180]

First time I've seen dish soap technic. Use this in painting other things, but completely forgot about it for painting mags

[@SaveFace]

Yeah I saw a quick video of someone using soap to spraypaint a tumbler, and it just clicked to try it on guns n mags haha.

[@patrickd4699]

They turned out great, thanks for the tip.

Thank you! About 10 minutes.

[@jorgeportillalopez1988]

Wouu quedó excelente 👍🏻

[@jdmack1]

Nice job 👍 also, you totally have the cleanest mag anywhere 😂

Thanks man, appreciate it!

[@1bornsurvivor]

I like the new one better.

[@claychandler3468]

Looks good. But the Dish Soap ?? MAke mag. Slippery not suggested

[@SaveFace]

Thank you, you gotta wash the soap off if you don't want it slippery.

[@Rxray5050]

Awsome

[@olegkoroleff2268]

👍

[@Wootangtw]

How long should you wait before spraying it off with water… mags look really good…

[@SaveFace]

Thank you. Wait atleast 10-15 minutes, paint is dry to the touch and not sticky

[@Wootangtw]

@@SaveFace thanks buddy….

[@Fr3d671]

How's the KS47 looking now after some use and wear...? I'm gonna try this my KS47 as well.

[@SaveFace]

Right on man! The matte clear coat I put on it definitely helps, so that battleworn look will come on slower. Its also gotta share that 7.62 with its half brother and sister haha

[@arose001]

Bad ass bro

[@SaveFace]

Thanks dude

[@kevinguthmiller8510]

What differences would you do for metal magazines?

[@SaveFace]

@@kevinguthmiller8510 I don't do it differently with metal mags.

[@chrismg2948]

Why won’t he show the mag at the end? I know he talked abt the end result after applying the camo paint but I never saw the mags after he washed them 🧐

[@AllStarCharliee]

Do you leave the soap on whilst its drying? Does it not affect the paint its sitting on?

[@SaveFace]

Leave the soap on while the paint dries. The soap doesn't affect the paint it's sitting on. If that paint is fresh that soap went on, I wait double time before washing.

[@footsoldierpatriot6656]

New to the rattle can weapons painting but one question I have, what was the soap for? Hell of a job on your outcome, it looks great.👍😎🇺🇸

[@RogerCharlamange]

He used it as a blocker, wherever that soap was, the next layer of paint could not touch. So it effectively created a natural looking stencil.

[@SaveFace]

Thank you! Yeah it acts as a quick and easy, good flowing stencil.

[@enriquecuellar8778]

Which spray can did you use for the khaki color?

[@SaveFace]

Krylon camouflage khaki.

[@deanwhite9575]

You should sell those 👍🏼

[@SaveFace]

Hmmmm

[@dutenn]

The soap definitely does produce an organic pattern but I'm racking my brain trying to think of something that would offer similar outcome but reusable. Looks great tho

[@SaveFace]

Yeah the organic patterns the soap makes is my favorite part, along with the layering possibilities. I'm going to mess around with playdoh or sillyputty.

[@dutenn]

@@SaveFace gummy worms lmbo

[@BlackoutPatriot]

Wouldn't putting a primer on first be better so the paint sticks better And not flake off later by using a clear top coat

[@SaveFace]

It's possible it would help, but I haven't had a problem painting a well prepped surface or using a clear coat. I've thought about using a high temperature rated primer though.
