That looks really cool, even though I'm new so, what do I know?


Well, hopefully you know that posting for rank is a quick way to get a little attention.  

But thanks, I like it too! 8)

It was once believed that Chuck Norris actually lost a fight to a
pirate, but that is a lie, created by Chuck Norris himself to lure more pirates to him. Pirates never were very smart.

So I compliment you on how nice of a job you did and you just be a jerk to me. Thanks.

Back when I had just started airsoft I wanted to paint my little clear pistol black so I used spray paint and I got paint inside my barrel. I've since then painted guns and done a good job but your painting job looked nicer than mine did.

I was just messing with you bro. 8)

Again, thank you.  The best trick to painting guns is to not-overthink it!  Don't stand there and try to figure out where the next stripe of paint will look best.  Get some colors and break up the outline of the weapon.  Then stop!  Give it a few days before you decide to add more paint to make sure, because it's easily overdone.

Yes, it does.  Other than grips, rail covers, and the stock, there is no plastic on my gun, though.

Well, it doesn't really come off in flakes, but it does rub off and chip here and there.  To me, the gun looks coolest when some of it's worn away.  The only things that look best brand new are cars and baseball cards.

After all, it's about making the gun look like something that's NOT A GUN.  Make it look like a treebranch, patch of grass, or some leaves.  Painting it a solid color, or a scheme thats too small and intricate does nothing.  Big patches of contrasting color works best.  Try to stay away from bright colors, too.

Sarge I read that many people use a paint that sticks better to plastic than to metal. Did you use a special paint that sticks better to metal or just normal spray paint?

Krylon, man. That's what I've used, and it chips.. just like anything else would, that paint is on. C'mon, now, with all that hardcore use.. you're bound to get scrapes and scratches on your gun. It adds character!

I believe he means Krylon Fusion, which is specially formulated to dye into plastic. Not matte enough for this application, though.

Just outta curiousity, what kind of precautions do you have to take when painting your AEG so it doesn't mess anything up? I'd like to paint mine when I get it, but I don't want to screw anything up.

MP5, I used Krylon spray paint directly from the can.

Dragosani, I just take my gat outside and hit it with the can!  I don't prime, and I don't clean it either.  I DO cover any glass on optics, lasers, etc.  I don't paint my guns to look pretty, I paint them so they don't look like guns.
