I bought the paint this morning!

if you have some pegboard use a straight down the barrel or a wooden peg and put it down the barrel and let dry

Awesome, thanks!!! I'll post finished photos in a few weeks I guess, depending on the drying period.

Prep you have to degrease every painted surface I used mineral spirits. Then I used a tan for a base coat (there isn't much black in nature). The design I used green and brown. You take a foam brush and cut the end in deep jags spaced out. Then I sprayed the paint in a container (bottom of a 20oz) dipped brushed off excess and then went to the gun. I would not clear coat it I used a matt clear coat and regret it. For comparison look at the eotech hood and the mag compared to the rest of it. Any question happy to help, one day I will need it.

For my tigerstripes am I better off using a cut sponge or a brush

I mean, should I cut sponge pieces to different tigerstripe shapes or just randomly take the brush to it?

I did it random brush strokes.

With a sponge brush with the end cut at different spaces. I wish I had a pic of the brush but I do not.

That's okay, I think I've got the idea, better yet I even have a brand new set of sponge brushes...so I'm set to start in the morning!

Just like any painting the prep is the most important. You'll do fine. Post some pics of the completed project.

[MegaSlammo]

Will do!
