I build for aesthetics, a certain look or theme (badass). I have a red and black Punisher themed 6.8 SPC. Used every part with a Punisher skull on it I could find. Did a black and gold, University of Iowa AR, for my son who is a big Iowa fan. I used flat orange header paint for the buffer tube, controls, and few highlights on a 458 SOCOM, for a hot rod look. My daughter likes natural, neutral colors, so hers was an all FDE, 20 inch barrel, 5.56 that I named the Jewel Of The Nile. She loves it and uses it to zap coyotes and other varmints around her acreage. My other daughter was nicknamed Cheetah in high school sports, so I'm planning school colors and found sheets of self adhesive cheetah spot stencils at Hobby Lobby.
I've also done themes like light weight, using every light weight part I could find. My post mistress is happy to weigh parts for me.
