Those of you who have Rhodie Painted your pews...

What paint brand and colour did you use? Struggling to find anything for a reasonable price that also looks the part. Bonus points if you can include pics of how the paint looked on the rifle 

 

And for the sake of clarification, I mean the baby shit and blue - Not Rhodie brushstroke pattern

There’s a few vids on YT showing it, I can’t remember if this guy gives the real colours 

(not got time to watch it again just now)

Yeah, he uses Arizona Response System's paint, as does every other youtube video. I can't buy paint from America and have it shipped to the UK. Hence why I figured I'd ask here as it's a UK forum and hopefully some UK people have done it using UK paint 😂

Ended up making my own "recipe" 

 

It's not perfect, the blue needs to be a bit brighter but I'm happy with the baby shit colour at least

 

I can't attach an image, for some reason. Guessing the forum is still being buggy but I used:

 

Arteza craft acrylic colors premium Olive Green, Dijon, Dark Teal and Charcoal black

 

And essentially eyeballed the colours until they matched the images shown on ARS's website.

Never understood the fascination with the Rhodesian Armed Forces, afterall they did represent a racist apartheid state.

I like painted guns, I like FALs, can’t argue the most iconic paint job on a FAL is the Rhodie paint. I can’t speak for anybody else but that’s my reasoning for doing it lol
