Yeah so I just primed my A-5 and I did plan on actually painting it but
now I'm not so sure. I think I'm going to give it another coat of
primer since I crapped up a little on this one, and then who knows..
but yeah, I like it.Tell me what you think. Right after painting- Still drying  Reassembled    ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished internals 4.2 inch rifled barrel Destroyed OD paintjob Love |

Wow, nice work. Can't wait to see the final coat. I'm bad with colors, but I's shoot for a darker Sage Green for a final coat. It's all up to you though... ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -2x Red Dot -HK36 Mag Kit -TAC CAP hopper -Response Trigger -Flatline Barrel -Adjustable Car. Stock

Nice thing about primer is that you can wet sand it down to eliminate any drips or runs that might have happened before you apply your paint. -------------

It is so very easy to paint a gun. I recomend all gun owners to customize their guns with original paint.

| I like the primer color. You could hit it with a flat clear coat. |

Okay, I put another coat of primer on and it looks great. I also have a remote line and a double trigger in the mail so I'll post new pics soon. Thanks everybody
I looked for a flat clearcoat, but I couldn't find any (at k-mart). They were all in satin finish. Would that work just as well? ------------- Tippmann A-5 Polished internals 4.2 inch rifled barrel Destroyed OD paintjob Love |
