but then when bits chip off they can get stuck in the mech. then you have to clean it and so on..If they are clear spray the insides
Done many?
Done a few plasticote spray paints work really well, just dont forget that if you are doing multiple colours or graphics, what ever you want as the top layer showing on the outside is the first one you lay down
You have an opportunity to do some cool shells...remember, that what you do as to be done in reverse, ie foreground colour, background colour etc then lacquer.
Use model car paint, Tamiya etc. You can also put legal sticker inside too.
Then just lacquer over the rest...couple of coats should do it.
Look at Stinger paintball for ideas.
