Are there any downsides to spraying metal paint on a barrel? What kind of paint to use so that it does not peel off?
There are a few different ways to paint a gun barrel, but the most common is using black or dark brown enamel paint. First, make sure the gun is completely clean and free of any oil or grease. Then, use a degreaser to clean the barrel if necessary.
Once it’s clean, apply one or two coats of primer to the barrel. Let it dry completely between coats. Once the primer is dry, apply one or two coats of enamel paint in your desired color. Let it dry completely between coats. Be sure to avoid getting any paint on the inside of the barrel.
Once the paint is fully dry, you can reattach any grips or accessories that were removed earlier. Allow the gun to dry for at least 24 hours before using it.
