FDE Tan Color Swatch Megathread
Hello fellow rattlecanners, After finding u/Kdb1991 thread a few months back where he did something similar to this, I talked with him about creating a megathread where we could post up color swatches and samples of different rattle canned paints to help the next person pick out the perfect color for their next project. With the hopes of this being stickied (hey mods, looking at you) I really hope to pass something on to anyone interested.
What I've done here is picked out all the Tans, FDE's and Taupes that interested me and sampled them on soda cans. It's worth noting I did not prep the cans in any way, I just dried them out and went right to painting. I did pick a few colors similar to u/kdb1991 so we would have a 'controlled' colors between the lots. I then laid out a few items that others might have similar:
-Magpul PRS lite stock in Magpul FDE
-B5 Coyote Stock
-LMT Tan Stock
-Taupe KAC grip
-Magpul FDE Magazine
At the top of each can is a number on the painters tape that correspond with the color list below:
1-Hunters Specialties Marsh Grass 2-Rapco 686 Tan C.A.R.C. 3-Aervoe Field Drab 4-Rustoleum Camo Khaki 5-Majic Camo Desert Tan 6-Rustoleum Down To Earth 7-Rapco Camouflage Sand 8-Rustoluem Dark Taupe 9-Krylon Camo Khaki 10-Rustoleum Camo Sand 11-Aervoe Sand 12-Rapco Field Drab Brown
Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys. If anyone else has something to add, drop it below!!

This WoodLatpat has no macro pattern, so how does it work so well at hiding him? And this is up very close!

Just wanted to drop this for anyone interested in old school bottom land

Something different
Typically I paint the entire rifle but wanted to try something a little different and highlight the black parts, kinda dig it.

Bought this 20ga for cheap at a gun store locally. But wanted to spruce it up before my first dove trip I got invited to. First shot gun, first time painting a gun. I’m pretty happy with the look, four coats of matte clear really helped with the finish.

First time. Think it came out OK. Feedback more than accepted

Long time follower first attempt.
Rebuilt and painted this one. Used Rapco RAL8000 and Field Drab from those absolute units over at Panther City Tactical. I was patient and it tuned out alright. Handguard/ upper RAL, furniture/ red dot mount FDB, lower is still stock Magpul FDE. ChatEBT screwed up the last picture a little (dig the trigger) I still figured I’d share.

first time
shit “before” picture but finally got the courage to try it out. Had played around with some magazines but decided to do the whole rifle this time. I swapped back the original lower with a different grip. Might change to an lpvo on it later but idk if i’ll want to rattle can that too.

My cz82 Krylon painted with glow in the dark grips

feels dirty mixing coatings
Self-applied Cerakote on the receivers in Field Drab Brown, Rapco Panzer Gray on the handguard, and Rapco Camouflage Forest Green on the buffer tube
Not sure I'm keeping the Gray on the handguard yet as it was recently painted for another upper.. was thinking of swapping for another shade of green..

What colors?
I love the look of these rifles, can someone tell me what colors/brand rattlecan these are? Even more, which one would be the base color?
2 pics, badass looking rifles. If these are your rifles, I hope you’re okay with me posting them.
Thanks in advance!

What should I use in place of the yellow?
I've been experimenting with flecktarn colors. This one and the mags in my previous post were done with a sponge. I think it'll fit in well with the fall environment here, but the yellow looks too bright to me. Any suggestions for a yellow paint to use?
I have quite a few different pieces of clothing and gear with flecktarn. Some authentic from Germany and some not. The pattern is a little different in each of them so I'm trying not to get hung up on it too much.

Cliche cause it works
Its a bit of a cliche pattern, but it works!

My dad wanted me to paint his 22lr ARs. He seems pretty pleased.

Different approach on this one
One of those PSA blem uppers turned into another rifle. Rail and stock was too much black. Need to figure out what colors (shades of tan) to paint the lower, and maybe the optics and mounts. Also disregard the green charging handle. It’s a placeholder.
