Verry nice video. Nice and clear explanation. The only thing i would do is put a clearcoat on the blaster once you are done. This will help protect the blaster from wear when using it in the field.
When I've painted moving parts in the past, they can sometimes gum up and in certain parts of the USA, orange tips are legally required for toy guns. Depending on where you live, you might have to keep it orange. Our LARPs require an orange tip and a couple nerf games we go to require orange tips as well. If you want to paint the orange part a different color, what you could do is wrap it in orange tape, that way you can remove it for your personal games. -Thanks for the watch!
I know here in the US, "realistic" looking toy guns need an orange tip, but if you're going to paint it brighter colors, and playing on private property, then you should be in the clear.
I recently got into the hobby. Even more recently got my first hammer shot...fell in love...ordered 3 more the day after along with the gavin fuzzy upgrades. And just started the sanding tonight on the one I have. Loved you tutorial. Great stuff. Loved the fact that it was the hammer shot you choose. (I searched how to paint nerf like a pro and landed here) So I see you didnt bother to fight the shell pieces apart. Is it just as difficult as it seems to? Or do you just not see the need to?
paint like a pro? definitely not me haha thank you though! I think this was a hammershot that I previously opened off camera before filming, but I am aware that Nerf has been sealing their new blasters together, making disassembly much more difficult. I have the fortnite 6-shooter and I'll check that one to see if its hard to take apart
Hey you just got me interested into painting my nerf guns I just took apart my nerf gun but I know I am two years late but I just wanted to say that this was an amazing video and I don’t know if you still paint nerf guns. I also wanted to subscribe through my phone but couldn’t since I don’t have a account but I am going to subscribe through my IPad which is how I am makings this comment right now.
Thank you for the comment! I still work on nerf guns and I'm trying to make more videos. Comments like yours are very inspiring and much appreciated. Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful
Fantastic instruction, will be using these tips and tricks in the future, great content guy.
Dual wielding modded Hammershots as a primary is a total Chad move.
Oh dude, didn't even realize I was watching a fellow Pennsylvanian. Though I'm in Philly.
This is a very cool video Now I feel a lot better and more confident about painting my hammershot
Amazing work! This definitely helped me work on my hammershot! Thank you
love it when a creator has fun while also giving the audience amazing content!
This video and channel are so underrated, nice job

That would be very useful. When we do another Nerf blaster video, I'll have to mention it!
For primer usage: did you use a Rust-oleum spray can or did you use Plasti-dip?
How long does it take to get dried on each layer?
The fake screws would look cool in silver too.
How do u make little dots like a nebula on it? with spray paint
Nice!! Did you clear?
Did I put a clear coat? For this one no, but I probably should have! Thanks for the watch!
do i need to keep the part orange if im just gonna use it indoors? like with my friends

I’m not planning to make mine look particularly realistic so would I be able to paint the cylinder to match like a red and black color scheme?
