Hi guys. I've noticed a few other threads on repainting, but none that completely address my concerns as the poster's intent is always slightly different to mine. Sorry if this feels like re-hashing, but I thought I'd start a new topic to be safe.
I haven't had any airsoft guns since I was a teenager, but recently decided to get back into it again. Unfortunatly I don't have the time, money or inclination to go skirmishing, so it's Two-Tone for me. Not that that bothers me, I just want to plink away in the garden.
My question is exactly how strict is the law regarding the appearance/altering of Two-Tone guns? Am I allowed to alter the colours providing they're still bright and unrealistic, and cover 50% plus of the model? To be absolutly clear, I'm NOT talking about using black, tan, olive, camo, subdued colours or stuff like that. If anything I want less realism, not more.
For example, can I respray an orange gun into sky-blue or bright turquoise? What about a mixture, does it literally have to be Two-Tone, or can it be Three Tone instead? (provided all tones are bright, obviously) How about (non-camo) patterned designs? Can I have a pink and yellow Mr blobby rifle, or something that looks straight out of Borderlands 2?
The way I see it, if I have to have brightly coloured guns, I may as well have some fun with it. My other hobby is modelmaking, so I have the painting skills and kit (airbrushes etc) to be pretty creative, but I just want to make sure I'm not inadvertantly falling foul of the law.
Thanks, Doug.
