We've Probobly all painted a gun black at some time or another and after a week or two find pieces of orange, blue or green coming through. Now what if you had a UKARA license and wanted to paint your gun without risk of breaking the law and you wanted to do it right!?

Now thanks to WIKIHOW.COM we have 13 easy steps to the perfect custom finish...

1 Decide on the gun you want painted. Not all airsoft guns look good painted. For example, G36s, MP5s, and other HK submachine guns generally looks their best in black. Some guns you might want to have painted are M16s, M4s, Sniper rifles, and SAWs.

2 Decide what parts of the gun you want painted. Many designs are possible. For M4s and M16s and other variants of those weapons, the entire gun being painted is preferable, while as for SAWs and snipers, only plastic parts or

"furniture" should be painted.

3Choose your colors and design. (if you want digital camouflage... check the bottom under Tips) When at the store, make sure you are buying spray paints and that every single color you get is flat. If you get shiny, your gun will come out pretty darn badly...
