Title: Crib Notes for Soldiers – Weapons Painting 101
Post by: 2aHawaii on May 25, 2010, 07:35:29 AM

The Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier put out some instructions for painting M4's and M16's (or AR15's for civies) (https://peosoldier.army.mil/docs/blog/weaponspainting101.pdf) in a nifty PDF.

On 1 April, TACOM Life Cycle Management Command issued the Maintenance Information Message 10-040 “Camouflaging Specific Small Arms (https://aeps2.ria.army.mil/commodity/mam/tacom_wn/mim10-040.html)” stating that, given command approval, Soldiers are permitted to camouflage M4/M16 weapon systems with paint. The TACOM Instructions provide specific guidance to protect the functionality of the weapon system that in turn protects the Soldier.

In essence, MI 10-040 is the Army’s “Weapons Painting 101” textbook for painting weapon systems. Presented here  is PM Soldier Weapons’ crib notes (https://peosoldier.army.mil/docs/blog/weaponspainting101.pdf) for those Soldiers who have the green light to dress out their weapons with paint to reduce their visual signature on the battlefield.
