One Day Build: Halo Nerf Dart Blaster Re-Paint Transformation

[@DigitalApex]

I'd also recommend (if you don't plan on taking it apart again) filling the screw holes with epoxy or resin to not have the holes show everywhere on the rifle.

[@thecreativeinfantry]

What an incredible suggestion! I hope everyone sees this idea 💪

[@yeetrreet2453]

Well first mod the insides to have stuff like a flashlight, also what about batteried

[@LILAC_CHAOS]

​@@yeetrreet2453 you could wire the battery pack into the butt stock with some kind of little door for the charger port

[@LILAC_CHAOS]

Could even mod some bigger batteries in as well

[@martinbranditch1128]

Because real guns don't have screws?

[@michaelclarke5860]

Looks just like an MA37!

[@TheStormtrooper2004]

Yup, it is MA37

[@cpl.barbarusc4814]

I would love to make a custom to my MA-40 as well but since I love the green and white already the only thing I would love to do is to custom the paint in a way it looks like the oaint from the Prawn blasters from District 9 and maybe if I happen to find an expert in Nerf mods, add a functional ammo counter, alt fire mode, recharging batteries, a sling attachment and a functional tactical light. It will cost a lot of money and time but I love the blaster

[@chetmanley1885]

Nice work, an alternative to drybrushing I like is Rub n Buff, and I get a metallic black look on my prop weapons using graphite; you can get it powdered as a lubricant for locks and just spread it around with a soft fan brush. I have been looking at this particular nerf gun for my kid, we're going to paint up some stuff together (once he decides what we're working on).

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Yes rub n buff is an excellent tool! Best of luck to you and your kid!

Did you sand the whole body? I’ve noticed that yours looks more textured than the other ones on here and I like that!

[@thecreativeinfantry]

Hey josh! I did sand the whole body. I think a big key in making textures is also in the paint job. My dry brushing method is a great way to do that. I’m glad to hear you like it!

the stormtrooper rifle is a Sterling SMG, not kriss vector.

[@hazmatt3250]

Oh sure when you take a chisel and scrape off the little letters and numbers on your Nerf blaster, it’s fine. But when I do it on my AR, the ATF raids my house and slaps me with a felony for “dEfAcInG a FiReArM”… This is oppression!

Then you may want to avoid the dry brushing technique

[@commonmockery1074]

What kind of paint would you recommend to get that brushed nickel slide look?

[@thecreativeinfantry]

@@commonmockery1074 a “brushed” look is very specific. If it were me, I would still use normal acrylic (color is your choice) and use an actual brush. The dry brushing I show here is very random, however if you are careful with a brush you can create “streaks” to emulate a brushed finish by using long continues strokes
