So this is definitely an opinion based discussion and everybody is going to have varying thoughts on: painting your gun. I already have my stance on it, but I'm curious to hear others' thoughts. Would you paint your gun(s)? If so, what would you paint it and why? What kind of paint would you use (rattle can, Duracoat, Cerakote, hydro dip, etc)? What guns would you absolutely NOT paint and why?
Here's my stance: I used to keep my guns factory finish. Then I realized that the only reason I do that is for ease of sale/trade in the future. But I never plan on selling my guns! Why not customize them to my preference. So I got into Duracoat over the past few years and painted the majority of my guns. It's kind of addicting actually. One gun I'm on the fence about is my Marlin 336. It's my brush gun, so I was thinking about making it a woodland camo or green/black two-tone. But the old western wood stock look is also good. The only guns I wouldn't paint are collectors or rare guns, which I don't really have any of anyways.
Hope this sparks a healthy discussion!
