I am looking for someone to paint an AR and scope in brown Kryptek - anyone know of someplace to get this done? I have searched as much as I know how and haven't found anyone doing it. TIA

Might have better luck dipping the rifle. It can be fairly durable with an epoxy or similar top coat. Kryptec would be a difficult pattern to do even with good stencils although their might be some who do this.

I've done a couple stocks in a kryptek-like pattern, taking a hexagon pattern and shrink/stretch/warp it in software I have. To do it right takes a long time as stencils have to be put on in layers. To have someone paint it with duracoat/ceracoat/etc will get expensive due to the time involved plus since you'd be shipping the lower it will involve FFL transfers. When done you might be approaching or exceeding the gun value. The best method might be to have it dipped. You could always check out youtube videos for painting kryptek and try it yourself with spray paint.

Thanks guys. I think I'll play around with stencils and painting it myself. Worst case and I can strip it back down pretty easily.
