Supporters Matt! Posted September 20, 2008 Supporters Share Posted September 20, 2008 Performed By : Nutster Weapon used : Classic army M15A2 Rifle Here is what we are painting make you have all your stuff you want to paint laid out clearly and any screws and springs kept secure, Any moving parts or any items you dont want to paint make sure are securely covered by newspaper or other. Start to sand down for a better coat of paint, Use wet and dry paper, keep going under you are happy, should take about 5 - 10 minutes per item. As you can see the past black started to show through. Make sure the spray can is a fair distance back so you don't smudge or bubble the paint. Here is one finished and one that isnt just to compare And again one side was done black and the other to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trunkmonkey2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 hi there, what paint did you use for this and where is it available?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Matt! Posted December 12, 2010 Author Supporters Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi, it was kylon camo paint but they don't make it any more, they do make Krylon fusion but I'm unsure whether its the same stuff. i believe Jerseys thread has some paints that are usable.

JerseyRider Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 You can use any Acrylic based paint But the stuff he was useing here was Krylon paint which you can see in pic 3 i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Many surplus stores (my local included) will have a similar type of paint in most DPM colours, which produces a nice, matte finish, perfect for guns or other gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiloXC3 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 How many layers and what spray paint did you use? And did you use any primer or was it durable enough without? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted January 14, 2011 Supporters Share Posted January 14, 2011 Krylon will do it in two thin layers, as will most other paints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ub3R- Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Halfords do a camouflage spray paint which works great and isn't too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagerz Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 That is one fine paint job. I normally just paint guns, i never sand paper them. Will do this when i next need to Two-Tone a gun for selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
