I want my bt delta and the added stock and other cosmetic addons to be a solid combat black so my question is what paint to use? What paint will hold up to getting hit by paintballs? Can you use spray paint?

Two kinds duracoat cost a good amount and alot of prep work but its made for real guns and is really tough.or krylon fusion camocolors doesnt hold as much but if u prep some and do a non gloss clear coat over it works pretty good.

That's funny those were the two I was looking at haha I'm thinking duracoat they have a shake can now so you don't need a airbrush

[Phantom]

Yes but u really need to look at all prep work really should sand blast it. And id put duracoat matte clear on it to.

Well is there somewhere in pa I can send it to get painted without coasting me like 150 bucks?

This is just my opinion here but if I was going to have Dadops paint my marker (which is going to happen sooner or later) I would actually have him paint my marker a different colour other then black. There really isn't mush point in spending that kind of money for the same colour. That's just my two cents.

Well with duracoat u pay per color so 1 colormqould be aroumd 40 to 50$ he also does krylon too. Jarheadsairsmiting

Yeah I think I can do the krylon myself that would be a lot cheaper can you put a clear coat on it or a protective top layor?

[Phantom]

Ya just amke sure u get matte clear coat not gloss or your gun will be all shiny like a speedballer...hehe

go to your local hobby store and check out their model paints...great selection of  Acrylic and Enamels in camo colours...a little more expensive then Kylon...but still good paint...and you still should be able to find matt or ultra flat clearcoat
