Nickona Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Hi, I'm wondering what colour/camo job to give my M4 as black is getting a bit boreing well here's my gun as it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/63613999@N02/.../in/photostream I was thinking about A-TACS FG handguard and stock but what do you guys think? Thanks Nick
Supporters TPI Posted December 14, 2011 Supporters Posted December 14, 2011 1. You Haz Asked This Qeustiooooon Before 2. Andgaurd Green and Stock will Ollo on soon afterr 3. Paint it White so i can call you My SNOW BEAST decent film actually 6 quid in tesco i beleive.
Nickona Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 don't think I've asked this before, checked through my previous posts and couldn't find it oh and point two, english please
Supporters TPI Posted December 14, 2011 Supporters Posted December 14, 2011 Yes you have it was ages ago tho and this is english PLOXIMOUS Prime?
Supporters Liam Porter Posted December 14, 2011 Supporters Posted December 14, 2011 I believe this is the Translation from Craig-English to Proper-English. "Andgaurd Green and Stock will Ollo on soon afterr" --> "Handguard green and stock will follow on soon after." --> "Paint the handguard now and the stock later." And I definitely remember you asking about this before..
Nickona Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 well if I did sorry for making two topics but I am completely drawing a blank on it? what do you think to the A-TACS idea?
Supporters TPI Posted December 14, 2011 Supporters Posted December 14, 2011 Yay the Liam to SAVE the day lol and Nick if you can paint Green A-Tacs go for it its so much more sexy...
lemon191 Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 id sort that stock out and swap for a crane style one or a solid one personaly but thats just me.. as for paint if your good at it id do a similar style to the camo you wear that way it will blend in to your body nicely and wont look out of place if your not great at spraying i wouldnt bother or atleast try it out on a cheapo springer first
bigshep Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Don't camo it, weather it. Camo is hard to do well, but weathering is a doddle and makes the gun look nice and worn. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde..._sandbox%20look light spray then rub back with thinners, simples!
Nickona Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 Well I've seen a video on spraying a-tacs, you use cut sponge to dab it on, i do want to try it out, as for the stock, I'm not going to change it as I do really like it, everyone has crane stock or full ones. but if it change it i'd get a AR-15 one from BHD Also I tend to change my camo a lot so cannot really match it have a look at this:
Supporters Finius Posted December 20, 2011 Supporters Posted December 20, 2011 Paint it something silly like red tiger stripe. When I finish my uber ultra M4 of winning, I'm going to give it a totally impractical paintjob just to make the point that it needs no help from mother nature.
lemon191 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 hes some awesome insperation for you.. lol
Nickona Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 oh wow! does anyone know where I can pick up some krylon cheap? alos finius, go for Gold!
Hibernator Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Krylon isn't cheap and postage tends to be high because it's in pressurized containers! My preferred supplier is Patrol Base: http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/details2.asp/P...spray-paint.htm
Nickona Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 yea I think i'll have to get it from there
Supporters Liam Porter Posted December 20, 2011 Supporters Posted December 20, 2011 Fire Support sell Krylon, £6.50 delivery I think, not sure what PB's delivery is. You could also try hobby shops in your local area (okay, you may not get Krylon, but they'll sell similar, just as good stuff) rather than limiting yourself to the Internet.
Nickona Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 rather than limiting yourself to the Internet. but I love the internets! are there any other brands which are good?
lemon191 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 halfords do a camo paint range i tried the od they do and its a good finish
Nickona Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 halfords do a camo paint range i tried the od they do and its a good finish had a look and its the same price as krylon
Supporters Liam Porter Posted December 20, 2011 Supporters Posted December 20, 2011 Not if you go into your local Halfords, save on delivery then
Nickona Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 on the halford website its £7 and krylon is £6.50 to £7
Supporters Liam Porter Posted December 20, 2011 Supporters Posted December 20, 2011 Krylon = £6.50-£7.00 + £6.00-£7.00 delivery (seems to be standard for most airsoft websites). Halfords = £7.00 + time and maybe petrol to get to shop.
Nickona Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 Krylon = £6.50-£7.00 + £6.00-£7.00 delivery (seems to be standard for most airsoft websites).Halfords = £7.00 + time and maybe petrol to get to shop. so with petrol will be about the same, if I go into town I'll see if i can pick some up if not will just order some krylon. so I'm going to spray my hanguard, stock, foregrip and sight if i get one. I'm going for a karki base then sponge on some olive, brown and maybe another green
Hibernator Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Check Halfords online "reserve and collect" first. Not all Halfords sell the camo paints, only the larger stores. You'll waste the time and money getting to your local store only to find they don't stock it. Neither of the ones near me had it, I had to go to Milton Keynes but luckily I was there for work so no extra cost. I still prefer Krylon to be honest
