@LEPPKE911 Thanks for watching. A lot of the real steel guys start with a solid color as the base. For this vid, I did what was necessary to get the point across easily. This color combo was very basic, but you saw the effect in the video.
@Chaos8282 This was a basic tutorial.. If I painted the entire gun, I would have taped it up, or removed the internals.. And that would have made the video too long and drawn out.. This gives the viewer an idea of what the sponging technique involves.. Creativity and imagination are the only limitations..
@Centration Not if done with care. As long as no paint gets inside the gun or barrel, you shouldnt have any issues. This particular vid does not really show all my prep work, this is a basic run down for a quick job.
@xSomeRandomKidx No, not for this particular one. As stated, it is not always necessary to take out the internals to do this paint job since most of the painting is controlled with the sponge.
@SHWELL11 thanks for the video! I've done this to two of my guns and it looks great. I used OD green, tan, brown and black and it looks great in the woods!
Love ur videos great job doing em, always helpfull. Could I ask what colors u used for the base coat an stripes on ur echo1 HK 416 or 614. I really liked that camo an like to try it out?
@19DESERTFOX91 there was no base coat. I kept it black, and just dabbed OD Green, and Earth brown by Krylon.. It is their Camo paint. To break up the 2 colors a bit, I also mixed them together for a 3rd tone.
@SHWELL11 yes, believe it or not...my little brother showed me this one and i plan on trying this later today! thnx for the link to the AR15 forum as well
@TreyStrumsStrings Actually a common question. It is totally up to your preference if you want to disassemble or not. For this particular job, I did not remove anything internally because I was only painting stripes, and dabbing with sponges. On jobs where I paint the entire gun, I recmmend it or at least taping it off to prevent paint from getting inside.
@SHWELL11 Thanks! I'm looking into getting a new gun soon, and this would be a great way to make it stand out next time I go to play! Defintely a cool, simple method of painting I never would've though of! I'll probably at least tape it off, couldn't hurt.
@v8rx7guy Not necessarily, but none o these are Real Steel. It depends on what parts of real steel you are painting, and also what the guns are made of.
@SHWELL11 You have inspired me lol, Im going to be using duracoat will use an airbrush for the first coat and then sponge method for the rest they have a high temp paint that will hold up to 1800 degrees so yeah it will work great. I have been doing research since i watched the video lol
There is another technique that you might enjoy as well. Take a laundry bag and cut it up into sheets. Similar stripe/blocky spray laid down, and then use the laundry bag to create a snake scale pattern. It takes a bit of practice and you have to go a bit lighter on the spray paint, but the effects are nice up close and camo pretty well.
@Dylemus They should indeed have it.. It is in the Paint department.. If not, then go to Homepot or Lowes, they have it, as well as ACE Hardware Stores. If you still cannot find it, then any ULTRA FLAT paint color will work the same.
Hi Schwell ! This Video was amazing and really helpful, My first camo which i tried with your method, was a digital grey and came out amazing ! Thank you!
But i just wanted to ask, what were the exact 3 colours that you used in this tutorial?
Hey Shwell, I camo'd my CZ 858 stock, fore and pistol grips and wasn't really happy with what the final product was until I saw this video...I added the sponge effect and it brought out everything else that I had done...Fabulous...Love your vid man and it's on my favorites.
I JUST SAW YOUR VID VERY COOL I'M A PAINTBALL PLAYER THINKING IN GETTING INTO AIRSOFT BUT I'M GOING TO DO THAT PAINT JOB ON MY TM7 GOOD LOOKING WITH THAT VID
@CommanderC0D In this vid, No... As stated in the video, it is not necessary for most of these Sponging jobs, but most of the time I do remove internals before painting guns. But because I did not apply a base color and used the stock color of the gun, removal was not needed since application of paint is controlled.
dude. thats some badass stuff. better than my cheapy painters tape stripes XD so right now im in the proccess of soaking my polimer parts in mineral spirits and vigorously scrubbing with sandpaper and steel wool -_-
@DCsk8ing1245 Yes, if it is done correctly, it comes out Great.. Light coats, and even spray.. Let dry for at least 24 hours and you will have the perfect results. I have been doing this for a while, so I have pretty much mastered it.
@BigMonsterWalrus Honestly, either way will work for you.. If you take care to cover the parts of it that you dont want paint to get on, then you should be fine using paint on it.. People do this with those kinds of guns all the time.. But please check your local laws and make sure you are not going to get in any trouble for having the gun painted.
Would anyone recomend using permanent marker on airsoft guns because i just got a walmart m1911 and im afraid if I spray paint it it will break so shood i use permanent markers?
Do you think it would work if i started with OD stripes and filled in with dark earth and tan? It looks like theres a bit too much tan on your gun to blend in with my surroundings. But still this is a very good tutorial for an awesome paint job.
@emomusiciankid That is the beauty of this design, there is no set way to do it, so anything, any combo, any colors will work.. Just base your colors on your environment and go for it.. You cannot do it wrong.
@CrookedRevelations Solid coat is more than fine, I have done it that way as well. That is the beauty of this technique, there is no set way to do it. the only limitation is your imagination.
@The0Russian0 I have done this to a lot of my guns.. I did a wear job on ONE of them... So I guess that means I like this best. But a worn out look def has its place. It is totally up to the user.
@lilhinkle4444 Spraying light coats of paint and letting them dry thoroughly. But the Clear coat is the most important and hardest one to use. You want to do realy light coats, realy light. and multiple light coats.. And let it dry for a few days before handling for best results. I only experience sticky when I use too much paint and dont allow it to dry enough.
Sweet video man, thanks for the idea and tutorial! I think I might try this out. I just don't want my gun to end up being something I don't like if I do it wrong lol.
hey shwell, im going to camo my airsoft bolt action sniper. Im just gonna do black stripes, but do i have to tap up bolts or screws like i saw this one you tube video do? Or can i just spray stripes like you did with your example?
@Kromegraffiti Mine o not, have not so far.. But that Clear coat is the key to that. Without a clear coat it will come off, but on some guns that looks like wear and actually looks good. But addin the Matte Clear indeed protects the finsh extremely well.
@macneil5401 Because I think it looks cool on some guns that way.. Also, the parts that are not painted, are covered by my body and arms when held in shooting position.
@TheBugoutbag Short answer, NO.. But that is only if you are not putting down a base coat covering the entire gun. BUT, I do highly recommend you to cover as much as possible in order to prevent getting paint inside the gun where you do nto want it. FTR, I did not do any taping on this one, but I made certain not to "SPRAY" paint in the open areas. Thanks for watching.
Would this work well with graffiti type spray paint - Montana gold. ( I want to do this to my vltor upper, panels, peq box, stock and maybe something else.)
Helpful video! I'm planning on doing a simple black paint job to get rid of the clear plastic that is on the gun. But perhaps eventually I will add camo to it! You my good sir just earned yourself a thumbs up!
Quick question. Since I am a noob and I don't know how to take apart my gun would it be ok if I just taped the vitals? It's a Well R8 G3 and I'm still learning about internals so I don't want to take it apart and not be able to put it together again haha. Btw awesome vid
I want, to do this to my g&g combat machine m4 not the raider, non blowback, what should i do to seal it up, would duct tape on the mag well be enough?
f@ramandhi987 the best thing to do is tape every opening you find. And anything you don't wat painted. I ualsually disassemble my guns for painting, it is thebest way to eliminate painting what you don't want painted.
@SHWELL11 Shwell, Thanks so much for making this video I just found a extremely easy way to paint my airsoft gun! My m14 is all black like your SCAR so I am doing a tan camo similiar to yours.
@plowvillephillies I have used all types of paints, but I use Krylon Camo paints. They get used more than any other type of paint. If you search your local walmart or Home improvement store they will prob have it. I believe I mention it briefly in the vid. Krylon, or Rustoleum CAMO paints. Basically Ultra Flat Paint.
Hey Shwell- just wanted to say thanks for this video- I thought this was so great I painted my SR10 and it turned out awesome! Hopefully I'll get a chance to show you at the next event.-Heater
@xXBrandon1120 Only if you get paint inside the gun. When painting the base color, you should protect all the vital areas and prevent paint from reacing areas that might cause problems. but the sponging portion will not cause any problems.
@tankerkk It is an item called Grip Tape. I got it from Home Depot in the paint section. It is used on Steps.... Be warned, the stuff is ROUGH, it will scratch skin.
@shwell11 I've been trying to get ideas for my AUG, and I wanted to take the time to comment, so that I could tell you that you created a wonderful piece of work. This is a beautiful technique, and I thank you very much for showing us. I'm subscribing because of this video.
I know if I take apart my gun the warranty will be messed up, so when you paint, do you just tape over some parts? I know the barrel definitely and where the mag goes, but are these the only two crucial places to tape off? Thanks I have a jg m4 with the battery in the foregrip.
@xXBorn2golfXx Warranty on AEG's is usually only 30 at most. But when taping off a gun, any area that give access to the inside of the gun, should be taped. The Barrel, the Magwell, the trigger, and any other area you do ot want to paint, or want paint to get to.
so you get that great of a picture from a flip? If you dont mind can you tell me the model you have because I think it has a great picture, its small and would be great to use in games to record. Also best buy near me is having a sale on them so just if you can. Thanks! Also, great vids. Keep up the good work!
@chefboyardee54 Thanks for watching. Yes, my vids are recorded primarily on my FLip HD... It is the 2 hour HD version.. Just a heads up, they have released a new version with inage stabilization, if you can get that one with HD and 2 hour record time, I would suggest that.. I hope this helps.
@SHWELL11 thanks just was thinkin might ask for it for christmas. I mainly want to use one to record games so im gonna try one of thse poseabletripods and wrap it around the m4 buffer tube and secure to make sure it wont move and take it from there. Yes i also found out that the 4gig version is only 30fps and the 8gig is 60fps. Big difference for recording motion. thanks for responding too.
@chefboyardee54 I have one of those posable tripod trhingy's and I dont thik it will get the job done on your gun. It is quite bulky, and the weight of the cam will prob make it fall off once you start moving.. I made my own gun mount for the cam, there are vids on it on my page.. But there is also the UltraPod 1 or 2.. It is perfect for mounting on the gun.. This is also in one of my G&G Raider XL Vids. Good luck.

Quick question. Since I am a noob and I don't know how to take apart my gun would it be ok if I just taped the vitals? It's a Well R8 G3 and I'm still learning about internals so I don't want to take it apart and not be able to put it together again haha. Btw awesome vid

@WARPANZER13 You can easily paint it without taking it apart. Juat tape up theopenings. Barrel. Trigger. Stuff that you don't want paint on.

I want, to do this to my g&g combat machine m4 not the raider, non blowback, what should i do to seal it up, would duct tape on the mag well be enough?
ramandhi987 10 months ago
f@ramandhi987 the best thing to do is tape every opening you find. And anything you don't wat painted. I ualsually disassemble my guns for painting, it is thebest way to eliminate painting what you don't want painted.

@SHWELL11 You're welcome. Hey by the way I have all of the colors in this video except the olive drab color. Would it look weird without that color?

crazyshot97 11 months ago
thank you so much. 5 stars. by far the easiest method of painting.
What paint do u use exactly because the paint i use doesnt stick to other paint for some reason it peels any ideas?
plowvillephillies 11 months ago
@plowvillephillies I have used all types of paints, but I use Krylon Camo paints. They get used more than any other type of paint. If you search your local walmart or Home improvement store they will prob have it. I believe I mention it briefly in the vid. Krylon, or Rustoleum CAMO paints. Basically Ultra Flat Paint.

Couldn't that mess with the gun internaly?
xXBrandon1120 1 year ago
@xXBrandon1120 Only if you get paint inside the gun. When painting the base color, you should protect all the vital areas and prevent paint from reacing areas that might cause problems. but the sponging portion will not cause any problems.

Hey man did you keep the hop up closed on your G&G GR15 Blowback because I don't want to ruin it!
TheTechnoBrain 1 year ago
@TheTechnoBrain Actually for most guns, I take them a part when painting them. I always ensure to tape or remove th parts that need to be protected.

I see that there is a patch of rough material on the ICS body and stock., How could i do that?
tankerkk 1 year ago
@tankerkk It is an item called Grip Tape. I got it from Home Depot in the paint section. It is used on Steps.... Be warned, the stuff is ROUGH, it will scratch skin.
SHWELL11 1 year ago
@SHWELL11 Thanks for the help schwell. Is it an advantage to use, does it help?
tankerkk 1 year ago
@tankerkk It just offers better grip, especially when your hands are sweaty or your gloves are wet.

@shwell11 I've been trying to get ideas for my AUG, and I wanted to take the time to comment, so that I could tell you that you created a wonderful piece of work. This is a beautiful technique, and I thank you very much for showing us. I'm subscribing because of this video.

I know if I take apart my gun the warranty will be messed up, so when you paint, do you just tape over some parts? I know the barrel definitely and where the mag goes, but are these the only two crucial places to tape off? Thanks I have a jg m4 with the battery in the foregrip.
xXBorn2golfXx 1 year ago
@xXBorn2golfXx Warranty on AEG's is usually only 30 at most. But when taping off a gun, any area that give access to the inside of the gun, should be taped. The Barrel, the Magwell, the trigger, and any other area you do ot want to paint, or want paint to get to.

Thanks for the video I've been needing to repaint my TM G-spec. I'm also an airsoft player in Florida, In just happen to live near Tampa. =/

so you get that great of a picture from a flip? If you dont mind can you tell me the model you have because I think it has a great picture, its small and would be great to use in games to record. Also best buy near me is having a sale on them so just if you can. Thanks! Also, great vids. Keep up the good work!
chefboyardee54 1 year ago
@chefboyardee54 Thanks for watching. Yes, my vids are recorded primarily on my FLip HD... It is the 2 hour HD version.. Just a heads up, they have released a new version with inage stabilization, if you can get that one with HD and 2 hour record time, I would suggest that.. I hope this helps.
SHWELL11 1 year ago
@SHWELL11 thanks just was thinkin might ask for it for christmas. I mainly want to use one to record games so im gonna try one of thse poseabletripods and wrap it around the m4 buffer tube and secure to make sure it wont move and take it from there. Yes i also found out that the 4gig version is only 30fps and the 8gig is 60fps. Big difference for recording motion. thanks for responding too.
chefboyardee54 1 year ago
@chefboyardee54 I have one of those posable tripod trhingy's and I dont thik it will get the job done on your gun. It is quite bulky, and the weight of the cam will prob make it fall off once you start moving.. I made my own gun mount for the cam, there are vids on it on my page.. But there is also the UltraPod 1 or 2.. It is perfect for mounting on the gun.. This is also in one of my G&G Raider XL Vids. Good luck.
