Re: painting a sniper

Just 2 Days ago I sprayed my Two-Tone L96 to Olive Drab/Woodland using Halfords Camouflage Paint for £7. Before that I tried Rust-Oleum but it just left it felling tacky and too shiny. So if I were you I would use some of the Halfords Camo spray. Oh and remember to sand lightly to create a key and if you can apply a grey primer
Hope this helps.

Sniper RIFLE.

I don't know how many times I have to say this. The sniper is the SHOOTER.

FYI, I'd advise you have a UKARA skirmisher defence before changing anything about the gun.

I already suspect some foul play here May be wrong but my interwebz senses are tingling, if you get me...

It seems two-tone guns are getting thrown around like a blunt at a bonfire nowadays. Everyone on about painting them without knowing what's what.

Re: painting a sniper

when painting a sniper always start with the face, he should have a look of complete focus mixed with a twinge of contempt for his victim.

if you mean a sniper RIFLE however then yeah those halfords camo krylons are awesome

Having taken the trouble to look back over his post history (something you guys should have done before making accusations), I think there's nothing untoward going on here.
