Step 4Foiled and paint
I then went about covering the barrels with foil Duct Tape, the idea being to paint over the top, then reveal the shininess.
I applied the foil in sections, carefully applying and peeling back the backing. I didnt cover some of the sections where the hinge might rub the foil off.
I then added a couple of metal bracket pieces to the end of the barrel. Both these were bolted in place.
Next I painted it, a full black coat using Direct to Metal Spray Paint, many coats is the way to go, with a break of 30mins half way. Try not to soak the gun in paint, if the paint looks wet on the gun, you have probably sprayed too much, most the time, you can get away with sanding it off and respraying if needed.
Once it was dry i then dry brushed some silver paint all over. Once that was dry I then used some masking tape to stick onto the barrel and pull off to remove some of the paint allowing the foil tape to show through.
