Hey guys,

Sorry I don't have pics but I'm looking to paint my 98. The body is all milled up (letters, fore grip, velocity lip and rear site) and my accessories are all black.

Accordingly, I was thinkin about doin the body white. Somebody else on the forum had a white 98 like that and it looked pretty sharp. Also, I do have some automotive paint left over from when I had my car touched up, will this work. I think it would be kinda neat to have my gun and my car (which I like a lot) be the exact same color (red).

Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated, thanks.

I do have access (kinda) to a body shop with quality sprayers and whatnot...

Sand off all of the old paint and make your gun nice and smooth. YOu may want to primer it before painting, but either way put on some clear coat afterwards.

Oh I thought you said you were painting it white. If you can do fade painting black and red, blue,green, or white look nice.

White looks good with the black accessories and it looks good.
