I just bought the KJW M9 Elite and I'm really excited about it. The only thing thats kinda a turn off for me thou is the gray color of the frame, slide and outter barrel.

I'm looking to paint the gray areas black but this is the first time I've painted an airsoft of any kind. I'm basicly looking for some tips and stuff. I've found some painting tips on google and on the forums but they're mostly for AEGs. Here's what I want to know:
1. What kind of paint do I use to get a durable, and realistic finish?
2. I'm guessing I have to take the thing apart so how much should I disassemble the gun? Like to I have to take all the safety/safety levers and off or do I just dismantle the gun into its main components (frame, slide, barrel etc).
3. Besides paint, what else do I need?
4. What procautions should I take when painting/disassembling/assembling?
5. Is there any other post-painting processes I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance! I'll go stare at my gun for a while now (dont have propane adapter yet
)
