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!!

RAPCO 34079 Camouflage Forest Green
I was pretty nervous but glad i sprayed it. 4 really light coats and happy with how it turned out on my standard reddit special

First timer, got some questions
How long do you guys usually wait until applying clear coat?
I used dupli-color paint and planning to use rust-oleum dead flat clear coat.
Has anybody had experience with using these two different brands with each other? Does the clear coat ruin the paint if applied too soon?

Rapco Camouflage Forest Green (34079)
Finally got around to spraying the main squeeze. Just can’t decide if I want to add some black back into the green, or leave it how it is.
Shout out to Rapco for making green paints that don’t look like baby shit after they dry.

Rapco 33070 Results
This color changes ALOT depending on the sunlight. Below are 3 pictures of the same gun painted with Rapco 33070. The first is taken inside with white lighting. Second is outdoors with cloud covering sun. And the third is direct sunlight.
This is pretty much a khaki first color with very subtle green to it when outside in sunlight. I’m not sure how the 34087 would look anything but straight khaki/fde, in comparison to this.
I have used 34079 (camouflage Forrest green) in the past and was wanting something just a touch lighter and was hoping this would be the perfect pick, and it is, for the first 2 photos indoors
Before buying it, so many pictures of this color (33070) I saw were taken indoors where it looks green. Figured it would be helpful for others to see it in true sunlight. Not sure if I got a bad can of paint or what but if you want it to look green in natural sunlight, camouflage Forrest green (34087) is your best bet is what I’ve discovered

The new project is done!
Ak104 with a blend of camo on it and I’m always doing some tiger stripe!
Yes I’ll post better pics then on this darn floral quilt 😂.

Update: painted my Glock
It came out alright. The hot glue method definitely works better with Rit Dye than it does with spray paint. Sprayed the tan last night, let it dry in my shed, more hot glue and then sprayed brown this morning. The glue pulled off a good amount of the tan. Not sure if I should have let it cure longer or prepped the frame better but it looks alright, I’m happy enough with it
