You do the air dry cerakote for optics. I spray painted my nightforce when it was on my old rifle then removed it before I installed it on my new one.
Not getting the "half camo'd" look. Camo is kind of an all or nothing deal ..

If it's anything like high-temp grill paint you need heat to cure it. Otherwise it will come right off with CLP.
They make air cured cerakote which is almost as durable as bake on. If you use cerakote of any type on the gun or scope it will only come of by media blasting. A scop can be cerakoted with bake on as long as it doesn't have/use trijicon or tridium. Bake on will cure at a temperature of 180°. The gun can be painted while totally assembled but it take time and wilk not be as durable because it can't be blasted.
I would buy a rattle can scope, but value is going to be less than a comparable non painted one.
I see these things as tools nothing more. As long as the optics and controls are not jacked up, all's good.

Personalized guns cars or anything else usually brings less. Unless you find the guy who wants a purple and pink AR with green spots. No matter if you spent $500 on Jimbo's fancy coatings . It adds next to zero and in most cases cost you money over an unmolested gun. People who expect to get full value back are not realistic. Any custom means it was custom for you and not the rest of the world .
I rattle canned a Sparc II but a Nightforce is balls.
