Here's a few images of my M40A1 that i just resprayed. The old paint was getting worn away from use so I decided to respray it. I used Olive and Tan Krylon spray paint for the job.

This is it before it was resprayed. The tape is there to cover parts I didn't want painted.

The tape covers the scope lens to stop paint getting on it.

Layer one of painting. This is just the Olive. I added Tan later.


And this is it finished.


It only took me a few hours to do! I am very, very pleased with the way it turned out. I think it looks very real. My brother said it looks like something that shouldn't be just shooting 6mm BBs. :)
I put this in a new album so you can view it anytime. Please tell me what you think.


(Here is just a pic to give an idea of what it will be like ingame. The rifle will also get a ghillie wrap.)(Pic removed)

That looks real good buddy... The tan looks a little light but thats probably just the pic.

I dig it though.. Good job Bush!
Thanks guys! Yeah the pic makes the tan look brighter than it actually is.
Is that ghillie store bought or home made btw? The leaves in it really look awesome

Thanks, its homemade. The leaves are done by using camo netting or pigeon netting as some call it.:yup: I did it to blend better with the vast amount of bushes and trees at sites here.
It looks fantastic mate! Really well done with both the rifle and the ghillie!
Looks awesome! What brand is it?
Kicks ass, my M40A1 brother! Love the duct tape window on the front of the scope, Jarhead style, I am going to do that as well since I don't like having the flip cap on it anyway :)
It's very nice, the tan looks like white though!

Could you upload a pic or two of your M40A1.:yup:
UPDATE:

Just added the Ghillie rifle wrap. The rifle is now ready for play.

That looks amazing! Especially with the wrap.

You've done a great job!
