LOL...the thought has crossed my mind but the lower jaw of the mask is very flexible rubber...one good flex and the paint would flake right off.  Also it is a very oily rubber designed to keep paint from sticking to it so I don't think painting it is an option.  I only wish it were that easy.  I don't think you can add flexing agent to Duracoat either.

I did get the videos uploaded as well.  Here they are.

First one is the target I was shooting at and about how well the marker was firing. Second one shows the position I was in but is a bit on the Cloverfield side of shakey.

You could try a spray adhesive (or double-sided tape) and attach a camo cover.  If you used a thin bandanna for the material you probably wouldn't have breathing problems.  (Heck, I sunburned the top of my head through my bandanna this year.)

I'll have to see if I can find a bandanna that thin.  Most are fairly thick.

The fact that my hair is thin* could be a factor as well.  I picked up the bandannas I use either on base or at surplus stores.

Thank you.  I've done everything I can to make this marker as consistant as possible short of going HPA.

Thanks Rowdy.  Well, finally played with it this weekend and the paint held up well.  I even tripped and went down hard with it once and didn't have a problem with it getting scratched or damaged.  Overall I'd rate this Duracoat paint very highly and recommend it to anyone who wants to paint their marker.  Had some decent paint and she shot very well so I was happy with that too.
