ok before everyone throws up there arms in horror thinking this is another debate ...do i paint the pulse rifle BB or OD ? :lol:
......that is not what im asking..... the G&P kit...im going to repaint the shrouds and G/L ..... already got loads of paint for the shrouds...but what colour G/L ?..... not seen a real one so not sure on the exact colour.... anyone help?

also is it just the shrould need re-painting..? it was my plan just to re-paint anything that is green.....do i need to re-paint any other parts of the pusle rifle...

i want to get rid of the 'plastic ' look of the G&P kit

my whole G+P is repainted, except the pump + handle grips.

I painted my cage a semi flat black.

There's a few extra holes in the spas cage, you might want to

fill those in too.

just so there is no confusion i enclose a pic of what your looking for its realy easy to spray, bit thin so 3 or 4 fine coats this time of year as its cold allow extra dry time between coats, it dries fairly quickly indoors , i just rubbed it over with the oil on my hands it was just enough to remove the realy flat look and put a bit of a sheen on it quick buff with a cloth and there you go Image finished look, the flash gives it a slight greenish look but it is as black as your hat Image
