Sand off the paint, wash all the parts in water.
Put on latex gloves (make sure they're clean of powder)
Wipe down all parts wanting to be painted with rubbing alcohol
Lay down an even coat of primer (essential)
lay down as many coats as thin as you can until you're happy with the results..
When I paint a gun I usually do it in about 5-8 coats but these are super misted and super super light.
After you're done spray over with a very very light coat of clear-coat.
If you don't like the finish on the clear coat, wait until it dryes (24-48 hours until it completely cures)
and run a super fine grit automotive sandpaper along it to dull the finish.
From there you just want to wash the parts in luke-warm water and you should be good.
Make sure you're wearing the latex gloves through out the entire painting process, if you get grease from your fingers onto the gun while painting, it'll show through in the final product.
