Hi, im rather new and I wanted to give my new modded longshot a paint job. I took out some internals so it would still work, and then gave the gun a first coat of white paint. My longshot is dry but it is realy sticky. The paint doesn't come off or anything, it's just sticky. So I was wondering if there was a way to make it less sticky. Im using Krylon praypaint.
Thanks

You either:
1) Wait a couple of days for the paint to become bone dry. (It'll start flaking off eventually.)
2) Get some Enamel clear coat for it (this is my preferred solution, because it protects the paint, as well as taking away some of the sticky feeling, even when the paint is dry.).

if it's fusion paint, you should wait a long time until it's dry, and next time paint a lighter coat. Most of the time the problems with spraypaint come from trying to get it all done at once. take your time, and do a few coats. It will be cleaner, and it will be less sticky.
