AK Magazine Rehab

 Continuing our month of magazines, I have another magazine rehab, this one a rusty AK mag. 

I don't remember where I got this magazine from, I think someone gave it to me.....anyway, it was rusty and in need of rebluing or painting.

I decided to try my hand at the sponge camo painting technique.

First step is disassembly

Then I removed the rust with my wire wheel

Then I painted a base coat of OD Green

Once the paint was dry I added some small mylar Punisher stickers

Then I sprayed a couple of swaths of Desert Tan

Then I got out the Dirt Brown, Foliage Green, Nutmeg and Black and began dabbing the paint on with a piece of a sponge

Once dried, I removed the Punisher stickers

Then reassembled the magazine.

Before and after shots

On to the next project!
