Rattler Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Here it is updated, I think im going to leave the rest black for now, but when I get my sportline CA project gun, I will paint that entire gun... Thanks Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov_kid Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 The SCAR Full strip and spay With the spetz And another one of my spetz K_K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbles Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 (edited) I have to say...and no offense to anyone in here, but the "body parts only" being sprayed looks kind of silly. I know lots of this has to do with not wanting to spray certain parts if you switch them out etc...or if they're expensive...but I really prefer a fully-painted gun top to bottom. Grab some masking tap...plug the barrel...and have at it. edit: I know you cant really spray the Beta grip and stock...as its done in that rubberized finish...

Kalashnikov_kid Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Nah it's cool If it was a sniper rifle I'd deffo spay the ###### out of it but i always feel that assault rifles look a little odd fully painted. Each to their own tho. K_K Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonarthur Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 i think they look hot mate shame you didnt spray the grip of the SCAR but looks cool anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JPU Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Just finished my first paintjob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Looks good JPU. Nice and simple but effective, it will look even better when it starts to wear. Did you encounter any problems? The reason that I ask is that I am about to start my first paintjob (been putting it off for ages) and Im trying to gather as much info as possible before starting.

JPU Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Well, I had only one problem, but I couldn't affect on that because my med brown's nozzle was a bit broken so I had to work with that. Other than that I had no problems at all, and I think it came out nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just go for it man, the less effort and thought put into the paintjob the more authentic it will look imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kush88 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Very nice, starfury. I haven't seen a painted MP5 in a long time. Are there small stripes on it or are those shadows? Edited February 26, 2008 by Kush88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snigel Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I usually hate painted MP5s but that looks great! Well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xander.P Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) chris u'5 when painting your gun you want to get tissue paper and stick it in the flash hider make sure its not really cold where you are spraying it split it in to parts so take of the add ons and mask bits you dont want to spray when spraying selector move the slector after each layer has dried make sure you do lots on fine coats not just one really thick will come out better have fun Edited February 26, 2008 by Xander.P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Echo Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Here are some quick snap shots of my rifle, newly painted. Thinking of either a digital scheme, or a standard DCU theme, enjoy! Yes I know, sunshade.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
