Almost every gun I’ve ever painted I usually regretted it cause it looked like shit. But that being said I rushed it and didn’t do everything right. Im tossing up the idea of painting this nomad chassis for the 10/22 had Gemini help me out and honestly I love it but unsure if I can pull it off will use rustoleum ultra flat and vinyl stencils I can make with my cricut

Fully disassemble it and tape off the areas you don’t want painted. Don’t take shortcuts and it will look great.

For that I’d try soap masking

I’ve seen guys do that on stuff but not sure how you would do it in 3-4 colors on a multi sided object. I’ve also been seeing lots of hot glue on mags and then dyeing them but not sure if the glue would peel the paint off

Not quite the same but here is a nerf gun I painted like 10 years ago using that technique.

You can always practice on a mag. Worst case if you dont like it, or how it wears, its only a magazine.
