What do you mean by "Tape" because I don't want to get adhesive all over my gun. >_<

Re: Painting your gun - a Basic how too.

use painters tape mate. u can get it from craft stores etc. its like masking tape but it has hardly any adhesive on it so it wont mark or cause and problems.

or just use masking tape - the adheasive on that is very very easy to rub off should any come off at all. Personnally I've never had any issues.

A good tip with masking tape is to cut the length you want then stick it on and off your jeans then stick it to what evers needed. Keeps the stickyness with out the mess.

Jack Pyke 'self-clinging' tape is very good as it can be removed, and re applied as it sticks to itself rather than your gun.

I used White Spirits to clean the gun first and to wash my hands after nail polish get it off your hands too. (don't recommend washing hand with white spirits just a bad habit i got into while fiber glassing the boat with dad).

Anyone got any clever ideas on achieving the effect made with the grey paint in the picture. Ive got a tan base so far.
