| I am kind of new to the whole gun painting thing. But I am trying to think of a new paintjob that would work for me in the winter. I thought about doing a simple OD base with desert tan stripes. OR just doing a tan base with black stripes. I am just using walmart-bought krylon OD, Black, and Tan. But I am not sure how to start on it. I also have gray and white, but those would be useless because we never get snow down here. unless I did designs. But I have a airbrush and plenty of modeling paint for the designs. Like this guy... Any ideas appreciated. Thanks guys. | |

| well, ya arn't new to painting, really take a bunch of foliage around the area you airsoft in, and create a basic template on a paint program(MS paint?) then take that print it and using a piece of cardboard check what it looks like, ya like it and use it on your rifle, otherwise just a simple spray 45* and 15* with airbrush. that help? | |

| Yea, the one thing about paint is I can use photoshop to see how it looks on the gun. I forgot to mention that.
I may go ahead and try tan with black stripes, and see how it comes out. | |
