chewythefirst

i am looking to get my mp5 painted but i wouldn't know the first thing about doing it my self.

i am looking for some one that is experienced in this and has pics of guns they have done before.

chewythefirst

Are you looking to paint the whole gun or just the furniture?

chewythefirst

$kilkenny

Quality airsoft supplies do it for i think 20E per colour

i did my own with the help of a mate on my local site, it would end up cheaper if you did the same but if a local store runs the service to paint it then i'd go with that.
If you were gonna do it yourself though make sure to use primer, clean the gun and make sure you block the openings on the gun so the gearbox dosent get a lick of paint to:P

If you'r not looking for anything too complicated, I'd advise doing it yourself. I did an urban tiger stripe on my old M700 using nothing but masking tape and paint.

I agree that using primer is a must. I like to give it a good rub down with a sanding sponge as well, and if you want it to last, put a couple of coats of clear polyurethane on after you've finished painting. Also, be sure and take your time at it. Don't try to do it all on a couple of hours. I like to take the weekend and give each coat a good hour to dry before starting the next.

It sound like a lot of work now that I read it, but when you peel back the masking tape and see the finished product - there's nothing like it

im considering painting my steyr ssg myself i mean how hard can it be.also i heard that with krylon you dont need a primer

chewythefirst

thanks for all the advice guys

i think i might give it a go my self once i have finished it i will post a pic

I haven't used Krylon myself. I've been using rust-oleum, and I've been using primer for all of the colours and then coating with gloss finish polyurethane. Worked well so far, although I'll have to give Krylon a go for my next project

yea im gonna give their ultra flat camo range a go just for a basic woodland style paintjob

Take it easy with the paint and just do strokes of paint :P
