Spraying paintball guns olive/camo

[Tommy Gun Nexus]

Hi guys,

Random one for you. Does anyone know the best, most hard wearing way to spray Paintball guns and what with?

Looking to spray probably black/dark olive tiger stripe ish style.

Any links or words from experience would be ideal.

Thanks,

Tommy

Duracoat is used to paint firearms. It's a 2 pack paint which ideally needs baking so marker should be stripped to protect seals etc.. Another brand that works well is Krylon Fusion which is popular in the airsoft community. You can either mask up to get the camo effects, or if you have access to a small airbrush you could freehand the pattern. This gives a better blending of the different colours, and more realistic effect. It's a good idea to seal it afterwards with a matt clearcoat, as the fill used in paintballs can soften and lift the finish.

There was a post on here not so long back about screen dipping or something like that..

Perhaps someone could find the link for it, they can do almost anything...

Also seen it done once at a custom bike show.. looks good ..

Hope that helps a tad..

That dipped finish is called Hydrographics - Not cheap to get done though

That's perfect, thanks. Looks like some good options there.

Great links tomo - didn't realise DIY was an option

That's a wicked process right there! Looks great

I think I'm ideally looking for a quick simple spraying process as we could have a lot of guns to go through.

what guns are you painting? if they're anno'd its tricky, if not (e.g. Tippmann 98's) it's reletively simple, have a look on UK Scenario in the gallerys.

Duracoat is good but after a while it can peel, ive seen some one trying to sell a black and yellow duracoat'd ego 11 on Pbnation and no-one was buying it cos it was peeling and ruin'd it
