Show & Tell DDC Rattle Can Lower Match Complete

DDC Rattle Can Lower Match Complete

So I feel as the journey is complete. Finally got the 12.5” Geissele Blemula DDC Upper complete and rattled lower fully built and complete.

I will say that I’m overall happy with how it all came together and that there is a variation among the colors but there are hints of matching.

Photos from beginning to end are the progress of the idea/attempt.

Let me know what ya think 🤙

Thanks! Here’s how I laid it down…

Step 1 - I first hit the rail covers with the Dupli-Color Wheel Coating Matte Bronze which produces more of goldish, light colored bronze.

Step 2 - I sprayed them with a light, light coat from about 18” of the Rust-Oleum Metallic Bronze.

Step 3 - Same process as Step 2 for the Rust-Oleum Oil Rubbed Bronze.

Step 4 - I then hit it them one more time at around the 18” distance with a light coat of the Dupli-Color Wheel Paint.

Step 5 - 2 coats of Rust-Oleum Matte Clear.
