what rails are compatible with my TM MK18 Mod 1 GBBR ?

Not a fan of the dark earth shade on the rail and looking to swap it out to something that will match the black with the rest of the gun.

Currently looking at these:

Are any of those rail compatible with my guns? If not, happy to hear your recommendations!

This is my first GBBR and I'm new to airsoft altogether so thanks in advance for your help!

The one from Fire support states it needs a barrel set or spacer to fit a TM MWS which I assume your MK18 is.

Why not just paint the existing rail ?

quite new to modifying guns and such, but what tools would I need to perform a good paint job? the only thing I'm weary of is the paint coming off and looking quite bad if I do it myself

as for the barrel spacer required for the ANGRY GUN BC* MCMR 10" M-LOK RAIL , which one do i choose from here ?

Depends how fussy your idea of a good paint job is. ?

Personally I think most camo paint work looks better with some wear and tear.

At minimum somewhere ventilated; whatever you decide to prepare RIF surfaces with (not essential); tape and paper or rags for masking and quickly wiping off over spray.

Additionally stencils but good camo can be done free hand. 
 

A practice run on something to work out how long to leave coats to dry between applications and get the effect you want.

I'm not sure it's any of those spacers tbh, I dont have an MWS so not entirely familiar with how they go together. Worth asking on the MWS thread maybe.

If you just want the rail black, then Halfords camo sprays are very good. Remove the rail from the gun for easier painting. Use a decent  primer first. There are several good videos on youtube about spraying a rif (or anything else tbf) the process is the same.
