The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Hello,
I got a replica of an Ithaca shotgun but it is black painted.
I would like to paint it screen accurate.
Could you tell me which colours are used for which parts ?
Regards,
Svenza

For what its worth, if true "screen accuracy" is what your after, you'll want to apply liberal amounts of black tape to the handle, and the pump grip should be the smooth wood (not ribbed).

Or at least, so this thread featuring 'screen used' gear would imply...
