[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;25406388]My orange flash hider is fading and chipped, I wanted to paint it over so that I could bring it out on Halloween. The paint I used just drips off and doesn't stick to it, even though it's advertised for metal.[/QUOTE]
Prime it first.
Glocks are overrated.
[QUOTE=Sweetie;25406514]Prime it first.[/QUOTE]
I did, which is why I'm kind of pissed off.

Have you ever handled a Glock? Even the GBB's are beautiful.

Try a different kind of paint.

They're great here in the US in the sense that nobody else has them, or at least very very very few people.
I'll have too, I just don't want to run back out to the store again.
Meh, 1911s tickle my fancy. WWII 1911s are the best looking, but Modern ones are good too.

Eh. They dont sit real well in my hand, and I hate the squareness of them. I prefer a slim single stack in a handgun TBH.
IE: Makarov, 1911.
We need a motherfucking Makarov.

I'm gonna do a Russian/Stalker loadout and it would be perfect.
Codemonkey, use Krylon paint. It is made from god's piss (it's good).
I AM using Krylon and it's completely FUCKED my muzzle. Prime or not, it doesn't stick and now it looks like shit.
[editline]14th October 2010[/editline]
This is really pissing me off. I've tried everything. I've tried priming it, sanding it, you name it. All it does is run off and drip like a motherfucker. Doesn't stick, just fucks up my muzzle and makes it look like absolute shit.

That's strange. I've used Krylon on airsoft guns alot and I never have problems. I know this is a bit obvious, but did you shake the can first?
Shake it for a minute, shake it for five, makes no difference.
How close/far are you spraying from the gun?
Six or seven inches. I'm uploading a picture of the aftermath so far.

Hmm... Try spraying from further distances. Your can might be fucked up or something. Try a different nozzle if you have any other cans.
I don't think those are big enough.
All spraying from a distance did was get fucking orange paint all over the front sight post. I'm slowly ruining my fucking gun trying to repaint the orange tip. This is bullshit.
When trying new spraying procedures, perhaps spraying on newspaper instead of your gun to test. Try another nozzle if you can like I said before.
It paints everything else fine, but it just runs like water on my muzzle. Nozzle doesn't seem to make a difference.
Whelp, I've ran out of ideas. I really don't know why it's doing that.
It also neglects to dry when I actually get it on the gun. I'm at wits end. I've basically ruined my gun in one shot.
Maybe take the flashhider off and bring it to the hardware store you bought the can from and ask why it's doing that. Someone might know?
Muzzle is non-removable and I bought the paint from Wal-Mart.
well fuck
I think some retarded kids were having an airsoft war in my neighbourhood last night. I want outside this morning and there were BBs everywhere.
So basically, I sanded the fucker down bad, primed it and sprayed from as far away as possible. Now it's starting to get there, coat by coat, it'll take awhile.
My only concern are the holes in the muzzle and having to clear them eventually because they're becoming rough and clogged with all this crap.

Yeah there's BB's all over the place in my town, I'm always scared some idiot will call the cops on them, the kids get shot and airsoft gets banned in Canada.
Found a few BBs in my English class once :confused:

That reminds me of my friend who had a ton of BB's in his backpack since he carried all of his airsoft crap in there from the game the previous day. We were at school and took his backpack out of his locker upside down. BB's EVERYWHERE.
