Painting

[malik]

Hi, I am thinking about trying some custom painting. What kind of paints should I use and with(if any) what finish? Also, I am open to ideas on how to do Digi, multicam, and BDU style painting...

Try search I know this has been covered in a thread before.

Krylon Fusion Camouflage Paint or Rust-Oleum Camouflage Paint

Rustoleum for metal stuff, Krylon for not-metal stuff.

Wanna paint my gun too?

Just make sure you practice on cardboard or something first.

You don't want to change your mind about painting when you are half done with your gun and cursing that all the videos you saw made it look easy. (did it myself the first time I attempted painting a gun)

practice on something other than your gun first also when it comes time to paint prep ur surfaces wit steel wool or green abrasive pads if u don't it will either look like shit or paint won't stick

I'm going to practice on an extra JG stock I have...

How would I create a digital paint scheme? Any ideas?

i got some paint for a surplus store(olive drab) that i used to paint my weapons and some gear. and i use satin black

[Catch22]

The paint that most surplus stores carry (some cheap camo paint) is kind of janky... The color is off and the quality is low.

mine turned out very well.
