How To: Airsoft Gun Painting (S&W M4505, H&K G36C, FAMAS F1)

This video is intended to acquaint viewers with tips and instructions on how to paint their airsoft guns any color or pattern.

Use reliable, strong masking tape that won't peel or come off. Use a straight edge/pin/flat-head screwdriver to work tape into small corners/grooves. Hold spray can AT LEAST 10 inches away from rifle when painting (hold it too close and paint will run and will ruin the job). Spray in well-ventilated area. Apply as many coats as you'd like, but don't overdo it (puddles of paint will form). The color that you want to show the LEAST should be applied to the entire gun first (unless you're painting the gun one color). Add more colors for a break-up camo (see FAMAS airsoft rifle in video). Design any stencil you'd like using just a pen and a relatively thick index card, then cut-out the stencil (leaf, tree branch, etc.) based on what you drew. Or, if you're not the artsy type, like myself, use a fake leaf or fake tree branch, as long as they are NOT flimsy or porous.

Be creative and have fun!

Do u know how to do digital.camo, I think it's the best.

[dooch9]

@MrCargod05 Unfortunately, I have never done a digi camo before. I plan on learning how to do it and possibly post a vid later-on, however. I, too, think its the best camo you can have, especially during an airsoft skirmish in the woods! Thanks for watching.

G36c looks so nice

[dooch9]

@EpicMachado Thanks man. It all comes down to knowing what you want to keep black (by taping it as cleanly as you can) and exposing what you want to paint so you can get that nice 2-tone finish. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@crazydave360 Almost every supplier in the USA has most, if not all, of their guns in black. It's rare to see a decent quality gun that is clear in the US.

@ChineseDude199 It depends largely on what paint you use. Most paints will be fine, but be careful and make sure the one u end up using works well on your gun's surface (metal, plastic, etc.) Spraying TOO CLOSE will certainly ruin the gun's texture and will leave bubbles and lumps of paint, so try to spray about a foot away in a slow, sweeping motion to get a nice, flat, even coat. If you want a second coat so it looks better, then do the same slow, sweeping action. Thanks for watching!

does the paint ruin the texture of the gun

[dooch9]

@crazydave360 I think they were all black when I bought them... I had to shop at a few stores though (dick's, sports authority mainly) and had to wait until they started to carry realistic looking airsoft guns that were black. Thanks for watching and commenting!
