[@thecreativeinfantry]

Best of luck Federico!

I came here for tips on how to repaint one of these I got on clearance - looks pretty straightforward but I have a question: Do you need to do anything special regarding the area where there are speaker holes on the one side? I wasn’t sure if spraying the paint over that would interfere with any of the electronics inside or what not. Thanks for the detailed how-to!

[@thecreativeinfantry]

@@brackettw if you are comfortable with it, I would suggest disassembling the blaster all together to avoid painting any electronics. That being said, if you are not willing to do that you could simply just be extra careful around that area. If you are spray painting, try spraying at an angle so that the path of the paint doesn’t go directly into the speaker holes

Great job on the cinematic quality of this video! And your info helped me with my current nerf project! Thank you!

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Thanks so much and you’re very welcome! Congrats on your project!

[@Nonito2806]

Absolutely loving your Tutorial...Im currently repainting my blaster with your guide and it works pretty well so far

[@thecreativeinfantry]

That’s wonderful news! I hope you enjoy the final results!

[@Kingmustang]

@@thecreativeinfantry i hope so too...right now, im struggeling with the right colors...my metallic colors are more glittering rather than having a Metal look...Here in Germany metallic seems to be different...😅

[@BobaKnut]

Love the tutorial! It looks not as complicated, as I thought it would be. I will definitely give it a try, since I got my hands on a slightly defective Mando rifle yesterday. What spray varnish did you use?

[@thecreativeinfantry]

I like to use rustoleum spray cans! I generally prefer the satin finishes

Nice paint job

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Thanks!

[@stefandeeke4018]

What color do you take for washing?

[@thecreativeinfantry]

@@stefandeeke4018 I just mix brown/black until I get what I like! There is no one right answer

[@halliwaxbasementbuilds]

Wicked nice job buddy

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Thanks!

[@prosto_Lis]

Marvelous work! I'm going to do it myself and therefore I have a question. Do I need to varnish the surface at the end of the work

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Not 100% required but a light clear coat is typically recommended

[@prosto_Lis]

@@thecreativeinfantry okay thanks! Can't wait to repaint it

[@Altern8Paths]

Great well made content man dont stop

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Much appreciated!

[@doncald3678]

Great Video

[@thecreativeinfantry]

You’re very kind, thank you!

[@dakx_x_9464]

Is there anything u used for the tip of the gun for the paint to stick better ??

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Unless I say otherwise, any type of paint job can use some sort of primer before painting. I think I used Plastidip as a base. Plastidip is a rubber spray so it is flexible

[@FitzyCify]

"This used to be a Nerf gun." Was it used for herding?

[@dakx_x_9464]

hey i wanted to ask if by any chance there would be a way to remove paint because I think I unfortunetly added to much black spray paint

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Oh no! Sorry to hear. You can try using sandpaper to gently remove paint. You’ll have to experiment with your grit count, but definitely try not to use overly course sandpaper

[@KReds99]

Is it okay to use a satin primer ?

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Yes it’s just personal preference

[@xcat3x24]

All acrylic type paints?

[@thecreativeinfantry]

From the Michael’s yes

[@Sirachaasauce]

Could I buy that or can you make me one?

[@thecreativeinfantry]

I am considering putting it in my Etsy Shop

[@GeminautVA]

i love you
