FHairsoft1 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 that is a real shame Very nice paint job otherwise! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theo41 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I never really understood the logic of compulsory fluorescent paint on airsoft guns. Can't a real steel owner paint his gun green and get away with wielding it in public? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Because it's the law in Portugal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scharf Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Because it's the law in Portugal. his question was (very valid one) why is the law written like that not why is he painting the gun fluo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Their is no point, except it's the law. To Joe Public a gun with fluorescent paint is still a gun. They'll panic and call the Police if they see one. Any responding Police will treat it as a firearm incase it is a firearm painted fluorescent. Net result,realism of our sport partly destroyed and no other benefit. You brand a gun in public real or replica black, camo or orange your gonna be shot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You brand a gun in public real or replica black, camo or orange your gonna be shot. we all can understand that an airsoft gun without paint is not lethal but a painted real gun IS LETHAL!!! many of the Policeman that I've talked say that WILL assume that every gun (PAINT OR NO PAINT) is deadly and act acording to that... so what's the point on this Law??? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) Poor portuguese!!! My painted version of chopped M14(I know SAS didn't use it outside 'Nam' but looks damm good in that color...) Edited April 24, 2011 by Murdoc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ratboy44 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Not the greatest photo in the world, but shows my attempted at paintwork. what do you folks reckon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 My first 'proper' attempt at a full camo job, just a quick 15minute 'try-out' Too much? Be honest/brutal/critical... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rvrstyxx Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 The 'M14' on the stock is not particularly to my taste, but other than that it looks good. Pics with the gun re-assembled? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's the general consensus so far. I meant it to be a bit more subtle, but I got a bit carried away It's not off one of my AEGs (although I do have a SOCOM), it's a spare stock I had lying around. I also have enough spares to build another SOCOM, so I'll do the rest of the externals sometime and put it together. It was more of an 'experiment' to be honest, I thought it was about time I tried my hand at painting. For UK members, I found a good alternative to Krylon. Much greater range of colours, and about half the price... MontanaPaints Click on the 'Click to Purchase' link to see the full range of colours. Five different caps with different spray sizes too.

Docv400 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Woodland theme this time... And a close-up showing the texture you get with the 'Stone Chip' paint... Could do with a darker green as well, must order some more paints... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 My paint is Montana too..., but color samples are mostly wrong!!! Better to buy it shops because you can see on the "collar" the right color. Some good colors: manila light: good light sand color manila dark: like OD, but darker... has grey tone too NATO(by us army green): OD(on my photo) everglade: ~mustard(on my photo) But: elm, sahara yellow, sahara beige: all have ugly "butter" color... I would avoid them... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks for that info. I bought the few I have from an Art shop in Canterbury (my Son's at Uni there), definately a good idea to get them 'in person' if possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) And more... olive green: lighter, than OD (maybe with military green OK for all green jungle paintjobs-or for ERDL; but I have never seen the real color of military green) shock brown light: 'ugly' red-tone brown, but looks great as BW-camo paint shock black: simple black, no extra(but is on my photo) All of montana paints can be removed, using 'drain-pipe' cleaner(it's NaOH-pellet, not sure if available in UK too), water to solute it, you need brush(and safety googles); plastic gloves referenced...

Scharf Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 This is my first paintjob, I was trying to match the czech Vz95 camo, which you can see in the background (backpack, jacket) Let me know if it looks similar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
[NL]Infinity Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Nice gun, and VZ95 = WIN Got a set myself a set of VZ95 cammies, but its the thick type (with alot of cotton, cant be bothered checking the exact type ) so it's way to warm for the summer and during winter I prefer a smock, which i dont have. So I never wear it, which is a damn shame. Edited May 5, 2011 by [NL]Infinity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
