I would stuff it with something so that the paint wouldn't have a chance to touch the inside. something newspaper. just make sure you can get it out.

or just give your tippmann a minor re-polishing of the internals.


you could also just take it apart and paint the body

any paintjobs that are really cool instead of a camo looking gun. i am a speed ball player so camo does not help im my situation but they do look good just i want to see something that actually jumps out at me

man my paintjob is screwed up. its like flaking off. and i used a whole can of clearcoat.

i didnt do a real good job on my digi camo so i'm probably just going to make it flat black with that drybrushing thing or just olive drab. which would look best with a stock and mag kit. its supposed to look like a sig rifle. i'm selling the handguard because its plastic and cracking like crazy. ( i ran into a tree the last time we were playing and the front site snapped off). i want to buy my friends flatline but he says no because he lost the adapter in his room and is too lazy to look for it. what an idiot it would be a great way for him to make some money. so yeah which paintjob?

model 98 - homemade handguard
solid stock - opsgear mag
polished internals
homemade sling - paintjob
operator barrel
progressive barrel
opsgear mag - stock

Yes you can use spraypaint. It will show scratches and chipping  overtime, but it is a nice cost effective option.

Cool, i hope they post pics of it...I'm always amazed when I see what other people do...One guy on the A5OG used the stencil and cut out some mossy oak stickers. Quite ingenious use of the stencil...

For stenciling Material? I think the tape has too strong of a glue. You would risk pulling off the paint underneat the tape.

3M painters tape is cheap and available at most hardware stores.
