Pink AR-15

I have a female co-worker who recently got into shooting. She asked me the other day about getting a pink AR. She doesn't want just pink stock and hand guard, she wants a completely pink rifle. Does anyone sell a pink AR or does need to buy a black rifle and have it painted?

I've done a cursory search of the net but haven't seen any completely pink rifles.

Any suggestions?

  Lauer Custom Weaponry out of Chippewa Falls, WI sells them, but they just buy them and duracoat them. She could buy her own and ship it to them to have duracoated as well. They are the originator's of duracoat and do a great job. I have heard some people say it isn't as durable as they expected it to be, but that usually means it was not put on right and MOST IMPORTANTLY, was not allowed to cure correctly.
  
  I am not aware of any company that makes a solid pink AR though.

  I'm perfectly fine with any gun that has pink "accents", but in my opinion an all pink gun looks like a toy, and "real" guns shouldn't look like toys.
  
  Typically people just stick pink furniture on a standard AR-15.
  
  But as mentioned, any AR-15 can be custom painted to be any color you like, so long as you're willing to pay for it.
  
  If you want something off the rack, believe it or not, DPMS actually offers an all pink gun. You can find one here:

  As per Sig220, I checked www.lauerweaponry.com I found at least 4 regular pinks. Under camopaks there is ladyam stripe and also flourescent hot pink and lars larson commie pinko plus a whole lot of regular and really different ones she might like, and it seems every so often there are even more added to the herd

  If I ever get in touch with my feminine side, I will have them paint an AR for me in "Hello Kitty" pink & white with graphics.

  e8gm,
  
  We've done several of these for guys to surprise their wives or girlfriends and women who simply enjoy the color pink.
  
  We switched from Duracoat several years ago when Ceracoat came into the market due to the increase in the wear factor. Ceracoat wears far better than other products given the hard use we put our firearms through.
  
  I'm not a fan of pink but others are and that's all that counts. Be sure to show the client a color card or some rendition of the colors available through whichever company you prefer. You could consider doing a sample part ahead of the final scheme in order to assure the client that they will receive exactly what they expect. There's nothing worse than doing the entire paint job and having the client express disappointment in the final color.
  
  Best.
