Paint Reccomendations

Mr Jon · July 21st, 2005, 13:24

I'm concidering painting my G17 or a KWA G19 tan or OD sometime and curious as what to use. While reviewing painting guides everybody out there appears to reccomend Krylon Camo paint. While that paint is made to be bonded to metal how much of an issue would it be bonding to an ABS Glock frame with its pitted surface? I would imagine pretty good. However I want to find something that bonds solid, and wont flake off in chunks or scrape off and reveal the black underneath. I have seen numerous airsoft guns painted with Krylon camo and noticed theres a fair amount of wear and flake off that occurs in areas, but a Glock versus an M4 body are 2 completely different surfaces so im still unsure. Any help at all is appreciated!

You could pass a light grained sandpaper to make it grip well to the ABS body. Or if you know someone, airbrush the body with a "House of Kolors" Tan paint, which is a pretty good paint, and made to last.

You could try the "Montana" paint as well, but I never tried it on anything. I might paint my AK fullstock Maroon Brown (the only can of Montana I have). I'll let you guys know if its better than Krylon Camo.
