BFOUR

I did a base coat of tan with green stripes about 2 to 3 inches wide. Then I sponged the green on the basecoat and then tan on the green stripes. After contemplating a 3rd color my girlfriend suggested black and thus it worked out lol. I was debating white but I think the black came out great.

Spray some paint on a plate dab the sponge in and go!

lol My paint job above was inspired by your M4

Not the best photo, its off my droid. Ill get some better pics tonight.

Dropping any carbine kit onto a pistol turns it into a Short Barreled rifle, which in most states is either illegal or you pay an extra tax on it.

Not true it depends on your state. And I rather like the KAC handstop on the side. Id probably put my thumb up there to make sure i didnt slip over the barrel lol.

A little shiny but it looks good for a first time. Try blending the brown a little more.

Jealousy? No not in the least bit. Im a combat vet in the Infantry. Im not jealous of your cadet status. All of your posts about the DE just say its garbage. Give us some reason against your "high end" shotguns as to why this DE is such garbage when everyone else who has one has stated its not.

Not everyone can afford high end weapons or dont want to. And some dont take this sport so seriously that they need to have the best. I play airsoft when I can as a hobby. Doing it for real is my job. I enjoy buying JGs and A&Ks and modding them myself. I dont want some toy gun I jsut grab out of a box and play with. Have you ever shot a JG or a "Clone" brand? I have several that out shoot most TMs Ive seen including my own A3. Dont forget that you bought the DE over a tanaka or a marushin. And the whole rank thing comes into play everytime you have some folksy wisdom to pass down. No one is impressed that your a cadet.

I love my DE. I think it performs amazingly well for what it is. And I also love my A&K M4 and my JG M16A2. But hey IM not a cadet so I have poor judgment...

Its like a camelion climbing a tree haha. Looks good.
