Firstly - welcome

 

1) Tan does not count as two tone. Bright colours (such as red, green, yellow, blue etc) are required for IFs (Imitation Firearms). Basically, it has to be a bright,  unrealistic colour, and Tan is not that.

 

2) It's not a license - it's a defence. If you spray a two-tone gun black, you are manufacturing a RIF (Realistic Imitation Firearm), for which you need said defence to do so.

 

Scroll down in this very forum section and you will see that this has all been answered many times over.

And we know that the laws don't make much sense when you could go and buy an airgun that looks identical with nothing more than a bit of ID, but we are where we are.  We generally recommend renting for 3 games (over a period of at least 8 weeks) to get a UKARA defence, but if you don't want to wait, buying two-tone is a viable option.
