| Anyone know what i should and should not do. I am going to paint certain parts of my G&G m4 tan such as the stock, handgaurd, mags, and maybe the lower reciever if the rest comes out good. Also I have never painted ANYTHING before so i am going to practice on a 400$ gun i borrowed fom my friend  lol joking.. I would be practicing on my 20$ springer pistol | |

when you start a stroke with spray paint go straight no curvy curvy | |

| primer is basically a main coat that allows the second coat to stick to a lot better, so that the second layer wont come off as easily | |

| Don't use primer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use a paint that acts as paint and primer!!!!!!!!!
If you mess up the primer it messes up the rest!
Remember, short controlled bursts going 1 direction! | |

| Krylon is the best for everything, as for the color, its all on where you live and what matches, get some pictures of the area and try to accuratly mimic the color | |
