What is the best type of paint or brand to use on painting guns?
I have recently bought a DL44 and was planning to spray paint it silver for my first coat, black for the last and then sand away some parts to get the weathered effect as others have done. I also plan to isolate the nozzle and front grill of the gun so I can keep it silver (and maybe add some carbon scoring later?), so am I better off just covering it with good quality masking tape or do you use something else that is better?
I also want to fill up the holes where it has been assembled with putty. Is there any particular brand or type of putty I need that will bond with the plastic?
Cheers,
