4 Prepare your gun. You want to prepare your gun so that it will not be harmed when you paint it. Do this after you have chosen a suitable place to paint. You will want to get masking or painting tape and lots of newspaper and place them on the ground making a "table" big enough for your gun and plenty of room for extra painting. Then get maybe a couple cardboard boxes or other strong, but recyclable thin constructs to lay your gun on during painting.

5 The layout. After laying out plenty

of newspaper and taping it down so that

it won't move, get your cardboard box

and turn it upside down, making sure

that your gun can rest on it without

wiggling. Then put on glasses, and

prepare to make your gun beautiful!

6Remove it from the cardboard box and get more tape, newspaper, paper-towels, and tissue: you're going to need it.
