Introduction: How to Make a Steampunk Nerf Maverick

Today we're going to take this Nerf Maverick, already modded, and paint it.

What We'll Paint:

Barrel

Shell

Cocking Mech

Barrel Release Button

Step 1: What You Need

You will need:

Nerf Maverick

Screwdrivers (phillips and flat)

Wire Cutters

Brown Spraypaint

Black Spraypaint

Metallic Spraypaint

And any details you wanted to add to the blaster (I used a funnel and lego gears)

Step 2: Opening the Blaster

Use the phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws. There are 7 bigger screws in the main blaster, 3 small ones in the cocking mech, and 1 hidden under the cocking mech. Then, use the flathead to pry the gun open.

Step 3: Removing the Internals

Remove These Parts.

Step 4: Painting PART 1

Wait Until Dry.

Paint the second coat on the shell brown.

Step 6: Putting the Blaster Back Together

Put the internals back in and screw the blaster back together.
