I really like the Halfords "Camouflage" series paint, it sticks really well (Not so much in the cold obviously) and the colours are a nice flat, dark tone. This was painted using the Halfords camo range (YMMV due to lighting/screens);

Regarding cold, the few guns I did choose to paint, I always warmed the paint can in hot (not boiling) water, warmed the parts to be painted with a hot air gun, & generally tried to ensure the location was reasonably warm, & I was always happy with the adhesion & finish of the paint (usually krylon).
Preparation makes all the difference

 

[Rickwales]

I was recommended krylon, but I couldn't remember the name.
I think we will definitely do more preparation for the next paint job and wait till it's warmer. Thanks guys.

He wants to paint his brand new vmp1, so this was a trial run. I have a cheap plastic mp5 and another cheap M4 to do before we get to his vmp1.

Not sure if you can see properly but the 'very light' parts are where the cold in my shed affected the paint as it was applied, more obvious on the L96

You do have some amazing guns Bill.

 

[Rickwales]

I can see mines definitely too dark, but I was limited with choice in the shop in my defence.

 

[ButcherBill]

Thanks, the L96 was just a cheap BBguns4less two tone, the AR was an ex two tone too.

I prefer my pews un rattled but sometimes it's a necessity.

Wish I had room to display mine, they're all in a wardrobe. Wife wouldn't tolerate anything else. I dare not push my luck.

 

[Rickwales]

I won't be painting all mine, just the cheaper ones. Trying to teach the son skills, and get him off his game console.

 

[ButcherBill]

That's prob why my collection has built up/expanded/got out of control... no one to say NO!

 

[Rickwales]

Between my Airsoft, paintball, airguns and archery gear, I can't complain...
And 5 tents and camping gear. Im lucky she's so patient. She also likes I do things with our boy to keep him busy.

Son wanted to try painting a rif, it's only half done but he's happy with it. Will add a lighter colour when it's dry thru a net for the snake skin effect. Not too bad for a 1st attempt I hope. Any advice appreciated. Cheers.

That looks very decent to me; I have never painted a gun and don’t intend to, but I do like to see them.

The worst part after camo painting your guns is finding them again…

I’ll see myself out

Boom boom... Lol.

 

[Rickwales]

It's drying after another coat. I'll see how it looks in the morning. Hopefully will turn out ok. Either way I've learnt a lot.

Had a rare item arrive. An original Torch mount pre surefire sas type.

Stuck it to both my mp5 and hk53.
But think it looks better on the 53 doing a SBS/SAS Northern Ireland look.
Yes my night vision is wrong. I'm no millionaire, so can't afford a real CWS.... so a another cheap NVG scope will have to do. Haha.

 

[Bwian_eh?]

I really wanted a classic Tanaka 1920s style snub nose for years, and ended up being given a nagant Thursday.
Nagants are silly power, so cutting the barrel down fixes that.

Haha, lathe goes whirrrr, Dremel goes brrrrr.
