Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are needed for the Sig MCX Spear LT camouflage painting?

You'll need blue painter's tape for masking, Rust-Oleum Camouflage 2X Ultra Cover spray paints in Deep Forest Green, Earth Brown, and Flat Black, and a mesh laundry bag to use as a stencil for texture.

How do you prepare the Sig MCX Spear LT for camouflage painting?

Meticulous masking is crucial. Use blue painter's tape to cover all optics, lenses, adjustment dials, the trigger, safety selector, charging handle, and any other sensitive or functional parts to prevent paint ingress.
