My TM SPAS 12 PAINTED!!!!

This is something that I have wanted to do for a long time now and have been researching on the internet. I have seen some great examples out there, but I think that my gun is right up there with them thanks to the master painting skills of my best pal.

HONESTLY, tell me what you think...








I tried to take this one from farther away so you could see if it worked.... Perhaps I will take some pics when it gets greener outside


Please lets me know what you think.

Honestly, this has to be the worst woodland paint job ever. It looks like you did it with a pack of melted crayons. Hope it works for you.

Actually....
$25 in Krylon paint and a very talented friend
Thanks a lot fox... I was very nervous, but now I am CONSIDERING a slightly tighter pattern for my X36C.... I don't know if I want to paint that or not yet. I think I might just ghillie it up to fit the spotter role better.
Hey, if anybody has any experience in painting AEG's let me know. The above is a Tokyo Marui springer... I think that's the first time "springer" and "tokyo marui" have been used in the same sentence lol

Thanks for the honest opinion.

The m4 is next.....

Ya lol, that defies airsoft law #23.

yeah, its gotta be a law lol

Honestly its horrible... just kidding.

That is a really good paintjob. I am impressed at how well it matches the woodland BDU you have behind it. Should be a little more stealthy in the woods.

I give it a 9.8 out of 10!!!

awsome job i have painted aegs before they turned out really good and i want to paint my sniper rifle but i really dont want to ruin it still thinking about it.
again awsome job 20 out of 10

thanks man, we really were hoping for some good feedback. I think this will force us to write a guide. This was our first time so expect the next one we do to be that much better. We are thinking about doing a tighter pattern for the next one, we'll use the same stencils, just more of them in different colors. Also we are going to put lighter coats on a couple of them to blend the colors together a little better and simulate shadows in the pattern.

Again thanks for your opinions.

no problem thank u for taking your time in this paint job and not ruining your gun

I think this forum is killing my 56k lol

what... more pictures lol

I like the paint job.. but i like SPAS 12's more...

i want one... badley lol.

It is awsome. The only draw back is that the shells cost ~$10 a shell. Since UTG decided to try to make a crappy version of it (lol I am opinionated against UTG a bit) you can get some pretty good shells for a lot cheeper (6 for $15). I was reading reviews on them the others day and a lot of the reviews where from people who had TM shotguns and just wanted cheeper shells lololol. Poor UTG.

Roamer, why dont you like UTG? The Admin's Shadow Ops seems to be pretty nice. I have actually heard that the new Shotguns are supposed to be really good for the money. They dont make a SPAS version though, just Benelli M3's so far. Here is a pretty good review of it that I found on youtube.com:

If they could only figure out a way to make it sound really loud when firing... then I would consider a shotty. This is the closest I have come to buying one so far:

No hop up kinda makes it a little useless, especially since it shoots at about 400fps with 8mm BB's!!!! That would hurt like crap at close range.

I don't like UTG's b/c it was my first gun. Granted it was a springer... if your gonna make something and put your name behind it, it should be a good product. Well long story short it was great, so I recomendied it to a buddy of mine. He bought the same thing.... They both broke in the same exact place. Just not a very good design. Perhaps I am wrong in my dislike for UTG's (this exculdes ADMIN's L96 might I add) but I am not so sure I will change my opinion of them anytime soon.
BUT, I will get there shells b/c the do not cost $10 a shell like the TMs do.
THANKS UTG lol

Your gun was pre-UTG's attempt to make quality guns though. They've come out with a few good ones But you have to look at how much you paid for your gun. Probably $30? lol. What would you expect? I paid $130 for my UTG and of course, as expected, much better results! Besides, I've seen a couple TMs and CAs that are simply awful in design (internally and externally). But that doesn't mean I'm against the companies. I do have to say though that I prefer you a lot more as a spotter with the G36C and SPAS 12 than with that spring UTG lol

Hey. Speaking of the L96, how about a custom paint job free of charge? Love the look of the shotgun! It'll blend in perfectly slung over your shoulder as a secondary!

I think we can hook you up for free. =)

Yeah, I catch a lot of crap on here b/c I put a lot of emphasis on a small part of what I say. That probably doesn't make since so let me clarify that through example.

In my comment against UTG, I explained that it was probably a faulty opinion and that I admired your L96:

It is kind of a first impression thing for me, you never get a second chance at a first impression. Oh and it was $65!!!!! lol which is a good bit of money for a springer. I can't believe I spent that much on a springer

Looks factory painted well done

Wow....excellent job, Roamer!! She sure is a beauty, no joke. I think I may want to do this to my UTG M3 now....what did you use to do this? did you buy a gun painting kit from Kapowwe or somewhere else??

Again, sick paint job.

Ive been looking at alot of these camouflages that people have been doing, and this is one of the better ones ive seen

Well thank you guys. Roamer and I put a lot of work into his SPAS 12, but hard work pays off. The colors are all krylon camo spray paint from walmart and a can of matte clear coat. The pattern design is freehand from patterns traced off of my multicam. PM me if you would like more details, price, etc...
