I did a superb job (1.5 hrs) masking everything that needed masking. My performance was not effected one bit! (y)

I like when spray painted guns start getting a bit worn. They look WAY better. And guys, keep in mind, this is a TOOL not just some Instagram model for the interwebz. The camo paint serves a definite purpose and actually protects the original finish. This gun will absolutely get used a ton as a hunting implement - as it has already :cool:

Go ahead. Paint your guns. Here, fren:

No thanks, the original finish on my PCPs will look good as it ages… But I do respect your commitment to making you esthetically unique. Just have zero desire to paint my guns.
 
Cool. While I didn't paint my entire gun - I did do the shroud on it a couple of years ago - just something to do. ( lol ) It came out kinda cool and I just left it. I picked up some "green" add-ons here and there to further "compliment" it - the Orion hand guard and magazine(s). Yeah - make it "your own" - some people will dig it, some won't. To each their own.

Which paint works best? And what is best for masking, painters blue tape?
