TheKurodaVagrant Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Then as TheKurodaVagrant said i mask bits of the gun and sprayed a camo pattern with khaki, med brown and OD and bobs your mothers brother its was done. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I love being right. sc0rp10n: I love the way the MP5 looks. Reminds me of the H&K factory special order desert paintjob, without the green-brown striping. Link to post Share on other sites
sc0rp10n Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 That's exactly what I was going for! Thanks for having a keen eye. Link to post Share on other sites

Tommygunn Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Looks bloody awful. Obvious were the inspertaion came from. From inside an unflushed toilet? Edited June 21, 2007 by Tommygunn Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Yikes. Well the application doesn't look too bad, maybe it's just the choice of color. Try keeping the grip black and doing the rest of the gun in a camo color. Krylon, as always, would be a good choice.

The Crunchy Bunny Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) I did use krylon. Medium brown flat and khaki tan. I don't use anything else. and, it looks so much like poo becuase I took it in the shade and my camera fudged up the color. it's a little lighter.Although I will agree that the colors would look better reversed (tan body and medium brown grips). I didn't realize it till I was done. Edited June 21, 2007 by The Crunchy Bunny Link to post Share on other sites

msx361 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 It's a good try, but from the photos the paint looks blobby and uneven. To avoid this apply less paint in one go and build it up in coats leaving the paint to dry properly inbetween. Also if you apply from a greater height you get a more even coat Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Was it brushed on? Link to post Share on other sites
Yeager Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Looks like caked on *beep*.. Strip it off and try again. Link to post Share on other sites
Miker Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Looks like caked on *beep*.. Strip it off and try again. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree!!! It could look pretty sweet if you apply it better... Where was the insparation from??? Where they right??? Was it really *beep*? Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I'm going to assume the inspiration was the Kimber Desert Warrior. I think it's not soo bad, you guys just like to give TCB a hard time. That being said, I agree that the colors would look better reversed. Link to post Share on other sites

Tommygunn Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) It's got nothing to do with who anyone is, it's a matter of 'if you can't do a job properly then don't do it'. I look for quality not an amateur job, which this is, as evidenced by the overpaintng, uneven finish and gap infilling. Edited June 22, 2007 by Tommygunn Link to post Share on other sites

Tommygunn Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 (edited) I agree. There is however a 'knack' which some people have and some don't but, of course, a skillset can also be learnt. However, it is plainly obvious that there are better methods to get a good finish, with plenty of advice available on here and elsewhere. Yep, I may have been a little harsh. The Crunchy Bunny, Did you brush it on or spray, I predict the former? Did you key the surface and use a suitable paint? Edited June 22, 2007 by Tommygunn Link to post Share on other sites
Plymouth Roadrunner Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 you probably sprayed too much on too fast, next time take it slow with multiple light coats. Link to post Share on other sites

The Crunchy Bunny Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 OK, normally my paintjobs don't turn out this bad but there's a story behind it. at my last skirmish as I ran it fell out of it's holster and my friend picked it up. It used to have a black slide and grips with an OD frame. So, he had it for several months and being a dumbass, he tried to get the paint off with sandpaper cause he said it was wearing off anyways. So, when I got back my mutilted handgun I resprayed it like a Kimber Desert Warrior and had to use sveeral coats so that it would cover up the snad marks. Link to post Share on other sites
TheKurodaVagrant Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Apparently, you haven't wandered into the magical land of proper sandpaper use. Treat yourself to a trip to the local hardware store sometime and get a variety of grits. A proper sanding (be sure to make a sanding block for the flat surfaces) will make future paintjobs not fail as hard as this one. Link to post Share on other sites
