In Topic: Need Some Tips On Painting

22 October 2006 - 01:45 PM

Okay, I found the red and black krylon fusion paints, so now I just need to find a silver one. On the website it looks like they just have textured and shimmer silvers, not just regular shiny silver.

I still need to get a sealant too... is there a specific brand of clearcoat I should look for that works the best? How do I apply it?

Thanks again for all of the help.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

Wow, can I really get awesome paint like that for 4-6 bucks a can? When I said I had seen some paint jobs around the forum, that looked really good but expensive, that red maverick was mainly what I was referring to.

I'll go and look for the brands you mentioned and start gathering the paint.

I'm a bit leery about taking apart the gun and painting it that way though. Although there are guides for taking it apart on this site, I still wonder if I wont be able to put it back together quite right. I'll also have to be really careful if I paint any interior pieces, right? I mean, if the paint changes the size of the part, there could be some difficulties.

I'm so pumped for this I took a picture of my gun and modified it with Paint Shop Pro. This is what I want the final result to look like:

I think if I follow this color scheme it should turn out pretty nice. I'll post a picture once I actually paint it.
