10 Come back when you're sure its dry, and, taking a blade of grass, tap the painted parts of the gun in inconspicuous locations to see if its really dry. Now tap a more prominent area, and one that has more paint. If its dry, lightly tap it with your little finger. If it's not sticky, tap it just a little harder. If it's still not sticky, lightly rub your fingers over the painted parts. If they feel smooth, then its dry. If its sticky, wait just as long as you waited last time, or you will regret it later. If it is ready, carefully pick it up and take it back to the garage. Now take the same color and go over an missed spots using the same caution. Some parts may take up to 5 times to successfully paint before they look their best. Still do not hold the can closer than 8 inches, nor hold it longer. If you hold it longer than 5 seconds on any part at one time, you probably ruined your gun.
11 Repeat this process over and over. Once you finish the lighter colors, go to the darker ones, covering up the lighter ones as necessary. Never start another color until you have taken the steps in #10 to ensure its completely dry.
12 Leave it to dry for a few days. Make sure its dry where you let it dry (ie: your room). DO NOT remove taped sections or the barrel plugs.
13 Remove the tape and, when removing the barrel tape, remove it from your gun, pointing down, so that dry paint doesn't fall into the inners of your gun.
