I ended up with a reactor with some balls for 25 cents. I mainly wanted the balls...

Those ranges are amazing, howd you do that with just AR removal?
He didn't, it's bullshit.
PS. Is that... Silver sharpie?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. A good nerf gun is like a good woman. It shouldn't require extra lubrication.

i used silver sharpie because i had no paint on me at the time now it is touched up and the barrel is silver and personally its easier and looks better than spray paint to me.Did you use white out? If so, why? There are so many other options for painting, for example use painters tape and spray paint, and layer it.
edit: i forgot to leave out me puttin in a tech target spring that keef told me to do and rubber bands can help out alot i think i drilled out the cross in the piece that holds in the a.r

If at first you don't succeed, add more epoxy.

- its a good start but if you paint the shells whail the gun is open then it’s a lot easier to get the spray paint in the hard to reach spots like under the dart holder.
-good mod, but make sure you are as accurate as you can be with ranges because tacking on a few extra feet is a no no.
-try to look around next time before you post, there is a big thread for paint jobs and modifications. New threads are usually for innovative mods that haven't been done before.

Any longer and reload time goes down the crapper.With that much power, does it have the barrel to accommodate it?
Some of you had the right idea with your helpful suggestions. Others, not so much. Frankly, as of 2005, when Baghead joined the community, you've all been spoiled by quality paintjobs. It all went uphill from there, but seriously? Constructive criticism helps. "That's ugly" "That sucks" "Fix it" etc. don't.
However, it IS completely fine for him to have a thread about it, because if he wants FEEDBACK and HELP, he can't GET any in the Mods/Paintjobs thread. Fair?
Now Troy, what's been said in here that was constructive was all good advice (including Bob's name suggestion, I might add...nice!) Just take your time, and try moving up to some nicer painting supplies, etc. Patience is everything. I've screwed up paintjobs on prized primaries (and still do...my Nite Finder looks like crap under the tape I covered my mistake with) because I'm not always patient about it. So tread lightly, and things should start looking cleaner. Regardless, it looks very nice considering you only had a sharpie on hand for the silver. You have a steady hand; I would've messed up the edges between the silver and black, I'm sure.

take it all apart and take everything out of it so all you have is the shell..
then paint the shell with a PRIMER COAT first...
then do 2 coats of colored paint...
after that you can paint your interior pieces.. i found this helps alot when painting and its easy to do too... anyone can do it...
ill post some pictures of my guns after there done... (right now its too cold to paint because i paint outside =P)
thanks for reading!
Edit: painters tape would help, also range is BS because i only get 40 with stefans.

Plus you said his range was bull shit even though there is also a ttg spring in there (read all of the OP's posts to get an idea of what is actually happening).
You need to (re)-read this: The Code of Conduct. And you need to use it.
