oneill Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) Not really worthy of posting, i kryloned my P90TR today, im not into all the camo jobs and whatnot so a simple olive drab to match my assault vest.  Whats wierd is the colour of the gun is more the shade of the light green on the patch, but any pictures from my camera make it look grey.  Ah well, im pleased with it  (i also havent figured out where to put the pressure switch yet thats why its loose) Edited August 16, 2007 by oneill Link to post Share on other sites

That would probably darken it up... Also if you used camo paints they are "Ultra Flat" so it wouldn't really match the shiny fabric. Edited August 16, 2007 by Miker Link to post Share on other sites

Souske Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Reposting what I said in the armalite thread: "Wow! That came out pretty cool Souske. IMO it looks more artsy than tactical though.. I kinda imagine you skirmishing with an expensive painting piece instead of a gun lol. Great job as always!" <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Thanks again! Â I have a question for you Souske. I would like to know what you do to keep the leaves in place while painting, and I would like to know how you get such a sharp outline of the leaves, it looks really really good, and I just want to know how I can make mine better (hence the questions)Â Thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â I just place it on top while I use my free hand to hold the bottom of the stem in order to keep it in place. And if it's not so clear afterwards, you can use a fine brush to touch it up later with some paint. Â very very nice that! Top job! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

Thats what I use, and I works pretty good IMHO... I have yet to find Krylon, but when I do I will buy some and use it to see if it is any better. Link to post Share on other sites
TheKurodaVagrant Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Krylon is loads better. It dries fast so you can remember what you were doing with the paint scheme, and although it isn't as durable as Rust-Oleum, the worn look gives your gun more character. Besides, the pros use Krylon, not Rust-Oleum. Link to post Share on other sites
devilsb Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 cheers guys but its easier ,and cheaper, to get rustoleum than krylon. cheers Link to post Share on other sites
BARsrule2 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Any paint will do, Krylon is the easiest to paint quickly with, but as Souske has said model paint works fine and isn't as vulnerable to wear as you might think. Plus, the range of colors by Model Master and Tamiya for example far exceeds Krylon's. Â Not to mention Krylon Medium Brown is out of stock everywhere in town I check!

Also everyone tells me that you can get Krylon at Wal-mart and Home Depot, but I have yet to see it their... Link to post Share on other sites
luvs2shoot Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 i don't know about home depot. i've gone to my neighborhood home depot TWICE for paint and they only stock rustoleum brands. Â it's best to make sure by calling beforehand. Link to post Share on other sites
