C7A2 Paint question?
 
Okay I'm Starting a C7A2 AEG Mod soon and have a question in regards, to painting it. Now I have heard that kylon OD paint is the Best out there for doing a paint job (to the best of my knowledge) for the Pistol Grip, Handguards and Stock And Elcan cover. But Would Duracoat work?

I've seen what some people have done with it and some great stuff is out there. But would it work on airsoft externals? It works for real steel sure but Has anyone done this with airsoft? Any Info would be greatly appreciated.

I use this and it's lasted really well.

I'm sure Duracoat will work too but at 4x the price.

It should be noted the krylon or green is darker that the green furniture of the canadian guns, it still looks nice tho, most of my rifles are in the two tone black with green furniture and accessories.
If you look at the aervoe website you can see the colors (altho they don't show up well on my phone they may on a pc) but to me the woodland green or light green may be closer to the canadian green. Also that paint looks pretty sweet, if I decide to paint the 417 I'm going to have to grab some of that stuff.

Edit: the light green krylon from this guys multi cam scheme is a lot closer than the krylon od.

i spoke to a guy at colt canada or diamco or whatever they are now and he used the camoflauge from crappy tire. he said three coats and it was pretty close to the real thing. or i think that was what he said. anyway maybe he was wrong but i doubt that seeing he makes them. more likely i am old and cant remember what exactly he said.

Krylon is cheap and sucks.

Use Duracoat for the whole thing.
