    Decided I'd ask here because quite frankly, when it comes to buying kit for work, Ireland is ****e.

    Lads, do any of you know of any Airsoft stores over here that sell spraypaint for spraying kit? The only problem being, that the spraypaint needs to be IRR compliant.

    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

    thermo this stuff leaves a glossy,satin or matt finish ? and also do you use a laquer to seal the paint? if yes any particular brand and how many layers?

    also will a can be enough to do a full receiver along with the outter barrel or should i get 2?

    I doubt you will get IRR compliant easy - its generally restricted and will probably cost a packet.

    Edit - restriction depends on how tight the IRR control is and performance required. You might find aerosol spray finishes which claim IRR but I'd be sceptical they'd actually pass testing.
    ...probably good enough tho, depending on your requirement...?

    I doubt you'll find IRR compliant paint in any of the airsoft shops here. Your best chance is probably one of the British online shops that supply military kit like here. I have no idea what they're like, it was the first google search result.

    the finish is very flat (matt), i dont use a sealer as i like the kinda worn look, but the crowd that do those paints do a matt laquer to suit the paint. with one tin i have sprayed 2 m4's and a helmet and still have a bit left over.
