Painted Weapons Picture Thread

[LORD_SEX]

I see you all want to know how i paint it, so here ya go.

 

First of all, the weapon had 3 paintjobs on it, (one of them was a woodland paintjob) so you can actually see some of the old colors on it, this makes it harder to imitate, because you should use more variety of colors.

 

In the actual paintjob i only used 2 colors, light sand, and black.

 

After i finished painting, i only had to take some paint off, with a paint remover (don't know the word in english, it looks like common water, but smells like alcohol), with a cloth.

 

That simple, i only took paint off in the parts of the gun i would normally have my hands on, grips, ris panels, etc.

 

Edit: Materials i used

Thanks for the tips! The word you're looking for the paint remover is probably paint thinner or similar solvent.

[Tommygunn]

'Cellulose' paint thinner or Methylated spirit(purple stuff).

I'm not really a fan of weapons that look like they've been used for 50 years. Normal wear and tear is cool, but surely RS operators would give it a new paintjob before it reaches the stage of looking REALLY worn out?

[jar|-|ead]

well the point of the weathering job is that we DONT treat our aegs like RS...and F* around the sandbox.

I would advise against using cellulose thiners on your AEG's. It's realy harsh stuff and could easily melt trades off of plastic recievers etc. Also unless you've got propper ventilation it can be a real nightmare.

 

Super fine grade glass paper and a small amount of elbow grease will give you for safer/ non chemical results.

Great job! That must have taken some fine work?

Thanks, the key is making the patterns. I just photocopied the back of my multicam top and cut out some of the patterns from the photo copy. If I can track down the colors that match better I plan to redo the paint.

hehe thats crazy my SPR is very similar!

 

As it stands currently, the scope was done to look like the upper receiver yesterday, just not got around to taking some new pics, but i'm sure you get the idea.

[jamster 1]

them SPR's are sweet!

My "Hate Machine," a Shrike by Miker. Pardon the flash, as it makes the paint look uneven.

[azngoonie313]

i got a quick question, i am currently trying to make my SR-16 into a SPR sniper. are those the STAR SPR kits?

[Titan]

[supportgunner]

Do you use that in CQB or woodland? Is it your primary weapon? How did you put the stock on?

[Titan]

CQB mainly.. usualy don't do woodland.

I use it as primary if my role is support, and carry a MP7 as secondary,

or I use an AUG as primary and carry the MGL along if we need to break out when pinned down.

The stock is actualy an old MP5-stock that has been modified quite a bit to fit. It's hold in place with a bolt and phiberglas/epoxy coating.

Also some restructuring of the rear had to be done to smooth the line out.

My AGM M14. You cant really see it that well on the crappy pics, but it has a "orange peel" finish:

[ZackyD]

Maveric, the upper looks beautiful! what colors did you use? and did you throw down a base coat or is that a primer?

[Maveric]

the basecoat was just a coat of Sanddune krylon paint.

 

more pics are available : http://maveric.geezas.com/gallery/v/Maveri...fles/SPR/paint/ of the painting process thus far.

Then the stripes of medium brown and brown. stencils laid down next and sprayed medium brown and then gave the whole thing a very light dusting of medium brown to give it a more earthy colour

[TheKurodaVagrant]

Maveric- Stop making me want to build an SPR.

Pcieked up my M4 today after nearly 6 months off due to knee surgery and I realised how much I like it. I painted it before my last few games in April/May, this was the result:

 

 

Used 4 colours gradually to try and get a decent blend.
