How can you paint a Nerf gun?

Answer 1

The guns being made of plastic, getting paint to stay is fairly tricky; but possible. First go to a local hardware store and pick up a pack of sandpaper and two-three cans of spray paint depending on which gun you have. Then sand it down until it is wearing off some of the color (base color is yellow so look for yellow on parts that were blue or gray). When it is sanded, rinse it off with a rag. Give it overnight to dry out. Get cardboard and lay it down outside, in a garage, basement, etc. Put the gun on the cardboard. (if it is a recon or any other gun with removable parts spray paint each sepretaly). Spray paint it and wait until it dries. When it dries let it sit for 30-60 minutes to ensure dryness and no chipping. Then spray paint 1-2 more times following the same method as in the last step. When you're done with your base color get a paint brush and put strokes or designs if you want. Wait for a day or two til your actually fire it.

WARNINGS

*put blue paint tape over the barrel and other parts that might jam the gun or bullet.

*wear gloves because spray paint is hard to get off.
