Who thinks theres anything wrong with two tone guns?

Nothing to stop them once they're registered for UKARA...but before that, it's classed as manufacturing a RIF, and is rather illegal 
EDIT: I forget the exact wording, but the non-black color needs to be particularly bright, otherwise it's not classed as two toned.

In the eyes of the law, that gun is not two-tone.To be honest, I think some two tones look pretty cool. However, I do have a question. What's stopping someone getting a two tone and respraying the coloured parts to a nice tan colour? Is that frowned upon at all?
For example...
Prescribed colours and transparent only.

I guess it's a matter of our personal likes. I think they look pretty neat.Yes, tan is guns look naff. Would rather have a bright yellow or an orange one anyday.
Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate this! o7
Sorry for the hi-jacking of the thread.

I hate to be that guy, but UKARA is not the only defence available. You'd be completely fine with respraying it so long as you have proof of being an airsoft player - this can be receipts, site membership or even just documentation of you playing (such as photos with you in them) etc.Nothing to stop them once they're registered for UKARA...but before that, it's classed as manufacturing a RIF, and is rather illegal

So are there any defences other than UKARA that would allow somebody to buy a RIF. Can you tell me any/all the ones you know?

However, it's up the the retailer to accept that or not. Some will; some won't. Second hand sales a lot of people will accept pictures of you playing, but larger retailers usually will only do UKARA simply because it's marginally more foolproof for them and easier to check.
Thing is there's still no legal precedent and the law is grey so just have yourself covered. I've not held a current UKARA number for years now but I always pay in advance for any sites I attend if possible so that I have a receipt. Doesn't make it any easier for buying through retailers but I almost exclusively buy second hand anyway.

The RIF's add a little realism, Surely its all about the game play that matters as unless your near blind you can see the players your shooting at so a little vivid colour frown in the mix dosn't matter at all unless you are looking down on all other players unable to get RIF's. Airsoft is about a good time, players taking their hits no mater what gear they are carrying. Rant over
