Spray Painting A Gun

[J'Shadow'P-F]

I have a Mini Invert in Dust Matte Black.
Does anyone know what kind of spray paint ii can use that will last?
Or that will stick decently for a couple of months

Nope, been tried before and wont work. The filling in a paintball will literally melt the paint you put on to your Mini. The only way to to it properly is to Anodize it

you could try water-transfer printing followed by matte automotive clear coat. Seems rather popular in the US.

A team mate worked in a body shop and tried painting his gun properly, once finished it looks the nuts but after 2 days of play it was crap. in the end he took the paint back off.

Unless you anodise it as mentioned, dont even bother. or sell it and buy the colour you want (providing its a normal colour you wanted)

Pro grade polishing+powdercoating can work but it isn't cheap

anyone tried Durabake? - from what I've read it should stick to raw aluminium.

Try Patrol Base, they sell a special Spray Paint for camo use, I've tried it on plastic parts and its really good.
From past experiance you would need to give the gun a really good scrub with sand paper, re-primer than spray as desired.

I have a mate who changes the colour of his A5 every other week!!
