Not bad at all. Add some ghillie material to it, and you're definately set to go.

Absolutely amazing m.thumwood.

[blazevich]

i cut foil tape into various triangles and jaged shapes

 

then randomly put oer the original color, the spray painted tan, did the same thing with mroe complicated designs, then painted green

 

im thinking i should have used brown instead of tan, ill find out how well it works in a few weeks

 

thanks for the comments!

It's been a little 2 months since I camo'd the M4. I'm finally getting the wear that I want (got it through usage in skirmishes, etc). The paint from the outer-barrel has been removed, as it has been chipping at a fast rate after the first 1.5 months. It may not be as "pretty" as when it first started 2 months ago, but it still works well, and in my opinion, looks somewhat more realistic with the wear.

That is one sexy paintjob. I take it Ellie is the name of the gun?

[Souske]

Thanks for the compliment. It's the name of someone I know.

Nice rifle, Souske!

 

What kind of rear sight is that on the RIS-equipped version? I really like the look of it.

[chin]

Well here another M4 I had to paint for a friend

in woodland, hope you like it

Nice rifle, Souske!

Thanks. The rear-sight is a custom fabricated MP5 diopter site rigged onto a weaver scope mount.

 

Chin, awesome paint job again.

Painted my M4 today.

[Souske]

That is a good color scheme. What brand paint did you use? I'm thinking of repainting my M4.

[shankskank]

that looks aweomse, the beat up mag fits it perfect. when it has some wear, it will look sweet.

 

ive got a question for painters out there, do you use a primer when you paint the guns? i did on mine, and when the paint scratches, instead of the cool black wear underneath or whatever, there is white primer.

[Tommygunn]

You definately do not use primer if your a skirmisher or mil-simmer. When I paint my guns I do it to replicate the real world therefore I just slap it on with the bare minimum of a wipe over with a rag. If it chips, bubbles etc etc then it's all good.

Soldiers out in Iraq/Afghanistan are not artists and don't give a monkeys so I don't either.

Painted my nightlights. Dark, yes, but they are for night games anyways.

Holy *beep*! Those paintjobs are amazing!

[Sandman]

Droc: It's cute, but it won't help anything, way to dark. Talking from experience.

I do, it helps the colours fix on to the rifle better, I know in the real

world the boys dont give a sh.t about arty farty work they just spray

it on but hey this is airsoft not afganistan and if you can make the

paint job last longer well then the better, I also use 3 coats of a matt varnish

for extra protection aswell.

... there night lights ... used at night .... they will help (the look like a forest kind of terrain is the setting for these to be used hence the paintjob).

[SilentSwift]

ShankSkank, you can buy black or at least dark primer. I had some grey primer a while back...

 

 

That being said, I didn't use any on my m4, but it has been less than a week since I painted it, so can't speak to the longevity of the paint job..

I think what he was referring to was there is no point in making a paint job "darker" for use at night time, since everything that is already just plain green at night appears way darker. So, if you just painted the lights as you would for day time, it would work better. You CAN make things "too dark" at night time. It's not going to make a big difference anyways, so don't worry about it.
