Picked up one of these a while ago before they became so popular and expensive. Was pretty happy it until I found a can of Rustoleum Colorshifting paint and when hmmmm..

So what the heck, lets give it a spray..

Dude, I think it looks pretty sick! I think you may be on to something with covenant weapons. Although I did look up that kind of paint and it said it could change to red as well depending on the light. I wonder how that would look...

That's green tape on there right? Are you planning on taking it off or leaving it on?
 
It's getting 2 coats of clear and a good polish before i pull the Frogtape off and detail the rest of the gun. I thought it was close to the game as well.
 
So painted the body and added a bit of weathering...still a few tweaks to go before I call it done.

Did you do something to the grip between the last update and now? Your previous picture of it looks like it has a satin sheen to it, wheras this most recent picture it looks almost like it's rubberized. Maybe it's just the lighting...
 
Looking pretty slick! I've always wanted to find a way to use the two-tone spray paints; this is a great application.

Yes I did, I tried to wax the grip to give it a bit more of a shine from use. I actually waxed some of the black off as you can see the blue coming through in the pics. I just gave it a fresh thicker coat of flat black. I'm also going to give that black part above the handle a shot of shifting paint as well.

Do you like the shine or the flat better???
 
This paint requires a black base. I used flat black and it seemed to work just fine. The Galaxy Blue looks pretty good right out of the can, looks good in a satin but might lose just a bit with a polished clear...maybe. I just finished up all the detailing tonight and will post pics soon.
