Well, I have noticed that many of you have been asking:
"How do i paint my pb gun?"
"How do I paint my barrel?"
"How many coats do I need?"
"What kind of paint to use?"
And so on...
So I am here makeing a thread showing and telling you how to do these things. There has been other threads of this sort but I have noticed that there are not any pictures in the threads, so I am going to provide them while I am explaining how to paint. Some of these threads are listed below.

Some of the items you will need are listed below.
Painters Tape - $3.00
Steel Wool -$1.00
Krylon spraypaint - $4.00
plywood (so paint doesn't get everywhere) - Cost Varries
Rags -$2.00
Directions:
1. Take your marketer apart. Take all the internas out, put the hopper and barrel aside. Remember to take the grips off also. It should look something like this. But with the orriganal paintjob on.
2. Take some kind of old rag and wipe down the insides to make sure all the oils do not interfear with the painting. Next Run the Shells under water and dry it off.
3. Take the painters tape and tape down the insides of the shells to prevent any paint getting inside and messing up / slowing down the recycling of the bolt. It should look something like this.
4. Ok, now your redy to paint. Go outside, Get some plywood and place your shells on the plywood to prevent paint from getting everywhere.
5. Start to paint. Take one of the colors (assuming that your useing 2) and start to paint. Make sure that the spraycan is about 1 foot away from the shells to prevent any drips. The shells of the gun should look something like this now.
6. Once that has dried off a little. Sart to take the other color and paint the other side of the shells. You want to make sure the 1st paint you used is a little wet so you can get a nice fade in. The Gun should look like this now, with the two colors.
7. Now that you have two colors on, you need to repeat this step of painting your shells 4 times to make sure that your paintjob won't chip only after one game.
8. Now that your happy with your repeated steps its time to let it dry. I let my gun sit for about 1 day to make sure that none of the paint will come off upon your hands. your gun should look something like this now.
9. Once your gun has dryed completly you can put some Clear coat on it to prevent it further more from chiping. Wait for it to dry than go on to the next step. I personally don't use clear coat Because I am afraid that it will make my paintjob permant, witch I don't want to happen.
10. Now that all the paint has dryed, its time to put your marketer back together. If for some reason you don't know how, refer back to the manual or ask questions on pbr tippmann fourm. Mine lookked like this, the Final Project.
