    A tiger stripe paint job is very easy mate

    Don't have access to my photos here but essentially its just a case of;

    1) prepare your AEG by blocking off/masking any areas you don't want paint on/in

    2) paint your AEG black all over and allow to dry

    3)mask off your stripes with masking tape cut into stripe shapes in the desired pattern

    4) paint the entire AEG again all over in olive green

    5) allow to dry and peel off the masking tape

    et voilà you have a basic tiger stripe AEG

    NB: that's a very simplistic way to do it I think some where else there's a fuller and more complete guide.

    If you have any other questions fire away

    What paint do most people use?

    I've heard of Krylon but not sure if its still available.

    I've an L96 that I'll be pimping up a little shortly and am considering painting the barrel and scope (+ scope mounts) so now is a good time to do a little research.
