Then get some rags and some denatured alcohol, and rub the gun down, removing most of the paint except the paint in the nooks and crannies, where dust would collect on a real weapon. Some people say to remove the factory paint with the denatured alcohol, like what was done to that M4 I linked below, but that wasn't done to my 416.

PREP THE GUN WITH A GOOD DE-GREASER!!! if you do not do this your paint will not stay. I use anything from rubbing alcohol, to plastic prep i get from the local auto paint store used to clean door panels and stuff before paint.
Hang your parts in a warm area, spray lightly about 6 to 10" away, several light coats with a few minutes of flash dry time in between until coated completely. Let dry for several hours.
I use krylon ultra flat camo paint. I've painted my gun and after 10 skirms with it i've only had minor scratches.
Also, make sure to tape up the magwell and don't spray inside of it.
I'm going to try this. Thanks.
