I always heard Nerf guns were a pain to paint, mainly because spray paint rubs right off that plastic. I guess that's where the self etching primer comes in. The acid in that probably welds the paint right to the plastic!
@SKSProps

Yeah it def helps but the paint still can rub off with enough force. that is also why I didn't overdo the weathering right now. any paint that does come off during a con can be covered up with the metallic silver in the future

As a nerf modder and prop maker that regularly uses nerf guns as a base, they're actually really easy to paint so long as you prep the surface. All that entails is really just washing off any grease or oil from your hands and taking a green scratchy pad to the surface. The builds I do are made for and used at a full contact post apocalyptic LARP and have held up for years. The high points and friction areas will obviously scrape off eventually but that's an easy fix with a silver sharpie.

So no one really knows this but the matrix airsoft pulse rifle parts will bolt right up to an auto ordnance m1a1 all you have to do is register it as an SBR and working pulse rifle. The plastic parts can be reinforced from behind the shell with jb weld or something for added rigidity but honestly its good enough as is.

Very nice, I've reapinted a couple of Nerf guns before, it's a fun process. I use very similar techniques but one thing I do differently is I don't apply much silver. What I do instead is to paint the entire thing with a silver base coat. Then after the main colors have been applied, I'll go over the areas where I want the silver to show with a piece of 0000 steel wool. I feel that this technique is very good for stimulating the look of paint having been gradually worn off over time as popped to beingchipped off.

You have at least doubled if not tripled the amount of paint I use in all my props. But they are the better for it. I hopped on Amazon looking for a pulse rifle of my own. Ouch. Think I'll wait until I find one in a thrift store or yard sale somewhere. Thank you for being such an amazing teacher, Steve!
