Ebay score. Set of Pirelli Diablo Corsa 180-120 for $289 shipped! Man, I wish I had a tire changer! I do not like changing sportbike tires! The rear was a major bitch both taking off the old tire and mounting the new. Scratched up my pretty rim, too.

Camoing a gun is all about layering, I'm sure he'll give a better explanation, but you layer your camo material (in this case, pine needles), spray, remove, and repeat with as many colours as you care to do, the more, generally the better.

Start with a base-coat of several stripes of your camo colours, then start using the leaves/needles

Random is the name of the game, symmetrical camo is no camo at all, I usually just lay the gun down (after taping up the appropreate parts), and sprinkle whatever i;m using (leaves, pine needles etc) over the gun randomly from a few feet up, don't adjust it, just spray as it is and use tweezers or the like to get all of the bits out of the paint. Let that layer dry, and repeat the "sprinkle and spray" with new material until you're satisfied.

The key is using layers of different colors to get the nice camo effect.

Krylon jobs aren't that durable, you'll pretty much scar it up your first time out with it, but it's more to break up the outline than protect the gun, so no worries.

We did this to our M4s in Afghanistan all the time

I used to be into military models when I was a kid and into middle school, but that was a long time ago. :-D Anyway, I wanted to do a digital camo and searched, of course, youtube. There are a lot of kids painting their airsoft guns to emulate our military's. I didn't really like any of the vids (you have to make your own stencils and cut them out with an exacto knife. Too tedious for me!), so I googled it and happened to come across a tutorial on painting a pine needle pattern on an airsoft gun. I thought it was more applicable to the colors and foliage where I hunt. This was my first attempt and practiced on the fiberboard you see in the pics. I bought three colors as close to each other as I could find. I scuffed up the stock. The barrel already has a rough texture. I simply degreased it. I laid the base color, khaki, on first (light color to darkest color). I tried using twigs and leaves, but it looked odd, so I just used all pine needles. Right now, I'm multitasking and doing yard work and painting a matte clearcoat on the gun while blasting Red Hot Chili Peppers out of the garage stereo!
