Posted July 27, 2015 Guessing this is best and only place to ask this type of thing. So I've had my CM16 M4 Raider-L AEG Two-Tone since I bought it as I didn't have a UKARA license at the time. Now that I have my license, I want to spray paint my M4 another colour. I've had good experience using Plasti-Dip whilst modding my computer case/components but nothing like an Airsoft rifle.. Too anyone who has good experience with painting objects like an Airsoft rifle or similar, or too anyone who has painted their rifle what brand of paint would you recommend? P.S - I do change my mind some times about colour of things so I would like it if the paint was similar like Plasti-Dip and able to peel off. Many thanks.

Posted July 27, 2015 dont use plastidip for airsoft rifles. is yours plastic or metal? either way use a spray paint with a gloss finish for the best finishing touches FPS <3 Flick G1 Review Nixeus Revel Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just linked you to a UK shop selling it haha how are you going to make it known that it is airsoft and not a real AR? We do not have to, we do not have orange tips here in the UK, if you do not have a UKARA licence the gun has to be sprayed 50% in a bright colour If you have UKARA you can have it black /wood etc like a real gun, you are not allowed them out in public anyway, so its not really a problem you just put them in a gun bag to take them to the airsoft site Desktop - Corsair 300r i7 4770k H100i MSI 780ti 16GB Vengeance Pro 2400mhz Crucial MX100 512gb Samsung Evo 250gb 2 TB WD Green, AOC Q2770PQU 1440p 27" monitor Laptop Clevo W110er - 11.6" 768p, i5 3230m, 650m GT 2gb, OCZ vertex 4 256gb, 4gb ram, Server: Fractal Define Mini, MSI Z78-G43, Intel G3220, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, 4x 3tb WD Reds in Raid 10, Phone Oppo Reno 10x 256gb , Camera Sony A7iii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 27, 2015 Author how are you going to make it known that it is airsoft and not a real AR? I only either use the rifle on private land (I have told my neighbors that I own the Airsoft rifle and that it is only an Airsoft rifle) or when I am at a skirmish.
