How To Give Your Gun An Effective And Visually Impressive Custom Paint Job

This instructable will give you step by step directions on how to give your gun(firearm,airsoft,nerf or paintball) a visually stunning and concealingly effective camo paint job.

Step 1 Supplies Needed

Spray paint(obviously)- i used krylon spray paint. most of my colors were Krylon Camoflauge colors(khaki,olive,earth brown) but i also used Krylon Satin Italian Olive and metallic silver(for the callsign-see later steps)

Blue painters tape

Foam brush-i didnt actually use this but you can use it for minor details, a ripped up painters sponge also works real good for this.

Foliage- use real or fake branches, leaves, ferns, pine needles or moss.

A place to paint your gun- hang it from the garage ceiling or paint on a piece of plywood. haning your gun is a good idera because it allows for you to paint both sides of the gun without having to wait for it to dry so you can flip it over to paint the other side. I painted my magazines on a piece of plywood [in this case it was my RIVERBOARD(see the below pictures, the one i painted on was my old one and the black one is the one i made last summer)-its a board that you tie to a tree or ock and it skims across the water, its really fun and easy to make, i use mine almost every day in the summer(i live on the river) i might make a n instructable for it in the future so keep your eyes on the lookout for it, OR if you really want to know how to make one right now i can email you some simple directions so comment below if your interested. ALSO I AM WILLING TO MAKE AND SELL THEM IF YOUR INTERESTED. so if youd really like to buy a river board or you just want to know more about them then email me or comment below]

Speakers and an ipod(optional haha)- i always listen to music while i work in the shop because it keeps you having fun and i just love music( and yes i know my ipod is a dinosuar.
