When your motor is broke

[Scruggz]

and the parts don't come in until Thursday, and you still have ducks on the brain and a day to kill. I've had this 11-87 for 8 years, and seeing as I'm about to get a new gat anyway, I figured I'd paint it. It was black. Now its... what can I call it... uhh, how about "Messy Reed Super 6.4502329." Its aite I guess. My hands were a little shaky at first, but after a while i gained some muscle memory. Definitely won't use cheap hobby lobby paint next time.

What is this foul mouthed language?

Looks badass! spray it with a couple of coats of flat clear.

[Woodiewacker82]

Looks very good to me I've thought about doing mine but I know it wouldn't come out that good.

I got one like that I did using alumahyde and rubber bands. Came out sweet

Post some pics. I have heard alumahyde is pretty tough.

Put the base coat on Project .243 tonight.

will try and do that. Ive done 3 guns so far and its hard to beat for the price. I dont think mine is quite that nice though

[Scruggz]

Thanks guys. I thought of doing the rubber band method but i figured id try free handing it. Id like to see how it turns out visorguy. If any one is interested in how i did the paint job, let me know and i can make a thread in the "howto" forum.

I put two coats on, however the paint still scratches off. Holds up good when wet though. Rained on it all day and the paint was fine.

if you cleared it paint shouldn't scratch off

I put two coats of rustoleum clear matte and it still scratches. Another coat maybe?

[CAMO SNOB]

[Rebelyeller]

Hobby lobby paint aint gonna cut it,, and also you need to make damn sure there isn't a speck of oil/grease. also you need to let the clear set up a good 4-6 hrs.
