Okay; so we've dressed up the Guns and added every managable aftermarket part now what??, Oh yeah gotta put a new coat of paint because we like transition of colors and dont have the money to afford Color molded parts that the actual Firearms companies are bombarding us with; or maybe you wanna give it that certain camo finish that will make everyone wanna drool so much they leave slug trails and are easier to shoot in the field.
So what is the most durable coating that will not rub off prematurly ?
I ran across a website awhile back when I was making Knives as a Hobby; I was looking for a Desert Tan and Green to apply to blades to give them a little more oomphh. They stated that this paint was more for guns as it dried with a more flexible hold and not stiff where abrasion and friction ( daily handling ) would cause it to wear off the high parts. Okay a Day late and a Dollar short ( I'm familiar to this song) , I did not mark it to my favorites folder. 8 months later I am here getting into Airsoft and looking at all the black guns leaves you a little "tired"; You see some of the Camo jobs using Canadian tire paint or Military surplus paint and see all the crap results where the high parts have worn down. What do you do, and what brand would you use??? I know alot of you have more expierience here so I will now shut up and try to learn something.................... :smack:
