So guys I finally found the time to spray paint my sniper.
I really like what I have done with it, it's plain and simple.
To Nutster: thanks for all the help, I ended up just going with the look more than actually trying to camouflage it
So here's how I did it.
1. First these were the materials I used:
- Two cans of Tamiya Color Spray Paints: "Olive Drab" and "Tan" (as they don't sell "Krylon" here in Hong Kong)
- Tissue Roll
- Scissors
- The stock of the L96 (duh! )
2. What I did was I first covered all the areas I did not want painted with the tissue paper. (eg. butt stock, inside, mag. area) Now I did not just put the tissue on the "areas", I first got about 1ft of tissue paper, folded it a few times until it was the right size to fit into the top part of the stock and mag. area. Then i taped the tissue down along the sides.
*Note* when taping down the sides make sure you only put a small thin edge of tape onto the stock with majority of tape on the tissue, that way you cover more area.
The Butt Stock
The top of the stock
3. Once I taped down all the areas, I was ready to spray!

*Note* Remember to let the paint dry for at least 10mins *Note*
Here's a picture while the base was drying
4. Add your own designs with camouflage stencils or just make it simple like I did and add stripes!
5. If you have a bipod like me you may want to consider spray painting that too.
AND YOU ARE FINISHED.
Here is a Before/After shot:
Sorry for the bad quality pictures it was all from my camera phone.
I hope that helped. I am actually not finished, as I am considering spraying the barrel but not sure yet.
Here's the final picture. I love it!!
