<banned retailer> and some others sell krylon paint, it's a matt spray can.
Get tan, green, brown and black.

Rub the gun down with a clean cloth.
Mask any moving parts or holes, access points.
Spray from a distance of over one foot, not to close or paint will run.
Use evergreen leaves as stencils, or netting, or cardboard.

Pant the gun in tan first covering most of the gun, does not have to be full cover.
Then sparingly use the green, brown and black with stencil.
Let each coat dry before applying nesxt one.
Use a mask, or your lungs will suffer.

I'll do any gun for a small fee( to cover paint)

Where you based?

Dont think thats got much to do with painting m4's

"Low lie the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry."

Cant say I've done it myself though.

its honestly not that difficult to do, granted my paintjob isn't exactly complicated, the shop that must not be named has the krylon its great stuff and all you need to do is tape off all the vital parts like the trigger area and well, go nuts make sure you dont spend too long on the one spot otherwise it will blob but really a monkey could do it its that easy.

1. Its best to work from lightest to darkestif you want the tue colour to come through however if you would rther it looked subdued then start with the darkest colour and this will dull the brighter paints.

2. NO NEED TO SHOUT theres no reason to type in caps lock.

3. 2009... really????

Just a Plinker

I've tried a few different paints on aegs but the Begadi one in my opinion is the best,
