What do you think?
 
I recently painted my NBB pistol, was really bored of just black. The color is a bit weird in person though. What do you guys think? And also, can any Photoshop wizards change the green pic to white to see what it would look like?

Also, sorry for the horrible quality, I'm a terrible photographer.

What brand is that NBB? I will give you some credit cuz you tried to turn something from being plain jane and turn it into your own creation.;) I know some guys on here will just laugh, but who cares. If it get kills and that is the look you like, then go for it.:) Thumbs up!

Thanks "Hebet" ;) It's not very good, something like $80-100? It's a KWC. I personally think the green is too "lawn-chair" looking, but I'm not sure. And I just realized that the green looks REALLY bright in the photos. It's not that bright, just a weird shade.

viraL April 8th, 2009 21:27

Don't like the green. Paint it purple.

Erennert April 8th, 2009 21:28

:rolleyes:
Does anyone have Photoshop? If so, can't you just go to Hue/Saturation levels and change the color? I'd do it myself, but I don't have it.

hebet April 8th, 2009 21:28

Now you mention it, it does look like my lawn chairs:D Here are my guns, as you can see, I'm plain Jane:( http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/v...t21_01/008.jpg

I think you should have posted it in the painted gun thread, which oddly enuf has advise on how to paint you gun and with what. You really should have a look thru there, Krylon camo system FTW

AngelusNex April 8th, 2009 21:32

I say you should have used krylon camo the paint you used seems too glossy.

Erennert April 8th, 2009 21:33

Yea, forgot about that section :rolleyes:
I'm sorry. I know how to paint my guns, and I know about krylon. I fact, that paint WAS krylon...just not the right one. ;) Says it's "Hunter Green"

And yea, the black is flat, and the green is glossy. It was the only green I had, and I was REALLY bored.

Muffin April 8th, 2009 21:48

It's not for me, too glossy and the wrong color. If you went with silver, that would look nice.

Perfect for chairsofters. :D

Jokes aside, it does looks a bit odd, but if you like it, it's none of our business.

You should redo it with Fusion Camo OD.

L473ncy April 8th, 2009 21:50

Gotta give you credit where it's due but I dunno...

Even though you say it's darker looking at it IRL still.... It could have been darker.

Did you do a test spray on something before to see what the "true" colour was? Might have been a better idea.

Should have painted it pink and white and put a hello kitty on the pistol grip. That's just me though... (PS: I'm copyrighting that. I came up with it first).

Erennert April 8th, 2009 21:53

I did test it out, and it looked a "nicer" looking green...oh well. I can always repaint it. Where can I get this said silver and Fusion Camo OD spray-paint?

Or Maybe I'll just give it another layer of flat black and leave it black?

EDIT: You can buy flat clear-coat paint right?

I like the hello kitty idea!:D

Erennert April 8th, 2009 21:59

NO. :)

And just for future, on the end of the pistol, under the barrel, see that green part? Is that supposed to be the same color as the slide? Or the frame? I guess there's no "supposed to", but what do most people do with that part?

http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/t...t/DSCN5154.jpg

I think that's a better photo of it, depending on the lighting the color looks "good-ish" or not as good.

Why...just why.

L473ncy April 8th, 2009 22:20

I think I'm going to buy a cansoft gun and paint it like that.... (I would never do that to a fully black gun).

Erennert April 8th, 2009 22:24

Haha, if you like it so much, I'll paint my pistol like that and trade it for your DE :rolleyes:

That is a temping offer, since I would have the only hello kitty paint job on the field...everybody would be so jealous:rolleyes:

Erennert April 8th, 2009 22:40

Lets do it RIGHT NOW. I'll go buy the paint and will get it to you by next week ;)

Most Canadian Tire stores will carry the Krylon Fusion camo line. Maybe Walmart, but I aint sure.
