Hawkeye[501st] Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Hi Guys and gals I need to build a hasbro blaster, and was wondering, which paint is best to use. I Gloss or matt black? I would prefer rustoleum, but if i cant find that, i will need to buy Krylon I notice that a coat of Silver is needed and then rust color for the scope before i put the black paint on? thanks for your kind advice.

TK_LEPER Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) I used a textured black spray paint (by Rustoleum) on my E-11. And I would highly recommend it to anyone. Prior to weathering See more of my pics here on Flickr Edited March 8, 2011 by TK 4702 Quote
Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 i always use krylon flat black on my blasters. It has this grayish hue to it that just looks like a real weapon to me. That textured paint looks pretty awesome though too! Quote
Hawkeye[501st] Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Posted March 9, 2011 Thank you Guys! this is really helpful! I think i will go textured! Quote
stormtrooperguy[501st] Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Was the textured paint the rustoleum hammer finish? If so, I love that stuff. I usually do textured silver with flat black over it. I like the surface the hammer finish silver leaves, but like the color/finish of flat black better. Quote
TK_LEPER Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) No, it's not the hammered stuff. this stuff has more grit to it, and the hammered stuff has a glossier finish. I'll see if I can find the can I used and take a shot of it. Edited March 9, 2011 by TK 4702 Quote
