    Nerf blasters are easy to disassemble (even easier if you don't want them to function afterwards!) so they can be broken down to smaller components if that makes painting simpler.

    That's what I love on this channel : I've painted figurines for a decade, but I'm too lazy to apply most techniques I've learned.
    And yet, here I find some new awesome techniques :
    1) just put paint on your fingers, and "drybrush" your edges around!
    2) shadow your hollows/cavities, and quickly finger-drybrush away the excess on edges!
    It's... it's genius.
    It's lazy, yet ultra efficient, precise, versatile and crafty.
    I love this channel.

    Nerf customized here. If you want to ensure operations after painting you should break down the gun and remove the internal mechanics first, then reassemble it for paining. You may also want to paint the slide separate from the main gun. If you apply a good layer of clear coat it should hold up well to use.

    I use Testor's model paints when repainting Nerf guns, and I've never had any problems getting the paint to stick. You'd be amazed at how nice Nerf blasters turn into weapons from Steampunk, post-apocalypse, space opera, and hard SF milieu when properly painted.

      @@KamuiCosplay Since they come in small pots of only a couple of fluid ounces/milliliters, they may get a little expensive for larger projects, and I'm not sure how well they work with airbrushes (I use paintbrushes and a lot of patience -_^), but I believe they offer paints specifically made for airbrush use. You can order them directly from testors.com or you should be able to find them at any decent model or hobby shop. {giggle} Listen to me--I sound like a commercial! ^_^
      Evil Ted Smith ruclips.net/channel/UCLTxoOYUpGKDSexgjTG1D1A swears by Tomiya paints, too--I've never used them myself, but he gets good results with them, so I'll have to try them myself once I get serious about cosplay.

      @@koushiro86 Both. Since I paint with a brush, I have to apply two or three layers to hide my brush marks, but I've seen folks that use airbrushes get really good results in one or two coats depending on the color of the paint versus the color of the plastic. Since it's made for plastic models, Testor's enamels cling really well to the plastic used in Nerf blasters, though.
