Anyone know any good places to get good custom paint job on there rifles? I'm think of a woodland paint job but I know I'll mess it up.
Thanks

I think gr8santini could do the paint job for you. He seems to do lots of great work for others on the forum check it out in the http://xcrforum.com/index.php/topic,1083.0.html Thread.

Fan of your work G8S.


Its pretty easy to DIY, just take the time and choose a paint you can get readily for touch ups if needed. Practice on a few pieces of cardboard.

heres a few airsoft rifles I did for some friends.

I agree, stay away from large sections of black.

I think I'm going to try but I'm sure it will look like some kindergarten hand painting project.

nice job, you guys make it look easy.

ahhhh you'll be fine.
Just start with the lighter then finish off with the darkest color. I like to used Krylon camo paint cause I can buy it just about anywhere...Pep boys, Ace harware hunting supply...etc.

I use the recommended primer but make sure it goes on with minmal coverage. Too thick and it an cause cracking.
Also the blue tape works very well.
