go to wal mart and get an airbrush for 20 bucks, get the required paint, some masking or painting tape. Then put the tape over the tippmann symbols and whatever else you dont want painted on. Then paint away. Then paint your hopper.

Then take your autococker for sale thing out of your sig. Selling items is not permitted in the forum. Welcome

I'd first sand it down some. Use something like a 220 or a 400 wet or dry sandpaper to rough it up a little. Then paint it. Between every coat of paint, lightly sand it with a 400 grit sandpaper so the paint doesn't just peel off quickly. Use a 600 grit before your final coat so that it's nice and smooth.
