Too paint or not to paint

[u/NoGrapefruit1213]

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

I painted. I do not regret. So far lol. it’s looks pretty good! Little bit more clean up I’m gonna let it cure till tonight and lightly dust it with flat clear

Good shit man. Out of curiosity, how do you avoid that tacky-paint feeling? I am a complete noob when it comes to rattle cans. I assume curing and applying clear coat would take that feeling away?

Clear helps but it always feels like paint lol after it’s cured a few days a good scrub with some soapy water helps smooth it out and get rid of some of that sticky feeling
