Re: Halfords Camouflage Spray Paint

i just used a whole can mate about 3-4 coats of primer left to dry for no more than an hour and then sprayed a coat of khaki left to dry then repeated til i had none left but i put extra coats on places like where your hands go and the bottom where its likely to get scraped ect oh and i sanded the plastic first before i primed it i didnt sand the cheek rest and i primed and sprayed the same and it came off after a day's skirmish
the key is to sand it first

slightly off topic: but went shopping in halfords for paint a few months back, they happen to sell glow in the dark paint, not had a problem finding my BFG ever since

Re: Halfords Camouflage Spray Paint

Cool, well I think I used enough paint. I left a few bits black like the carry handle, front sight and silencer but i think I will spray them as well now. Put the gun together last night and it looks a bit crap with too much black.

Re: Halfords Camouflage Spray Paint

Some of you are putting far too much effort into spraying their guns, the more slap and tickle the better!

Re: Halfords Camouflage Spray Paint

Do I have to rub my rifle down or can I spray streight on top?

Personally i'd think rough it up with some emory cloth? But i've never sprated a gun before.

Re: Halfords Camouflage Spray Paint

Rubbing it down is good but in my experience you do get a little bored of it and just want to start spraying! You can get sprays which act as an adhesive for spray paints, its like a glue iv spray form. They bond to the surface and allow the spray paint a good key to adhere to.

Re: Halfords Camouflage Spray Paint

Give it a clean wipe over with some fairy washing up liquid diluted, let it dry and the first coat needs to be a very light dust, that way you avoid the silicon fish eye marks if you have it on your gun.

cheers people
