What should I paint an x7 with mcb

[Trbo323]

Looking for ideas, this is something I will be selling locally but at the moment this particular x7 has corrosion on it so I'm going to be sand blasting it to clean it up, it will need paint after that. Looking for ideas, while I use rattle cans, I do consider myself fairly capable with them. Stencils are not out of the question either but would require more time and money.

Typically on tippmanns I do not paint the grip frame and whatever will be the forgrip. I find those areas will wear faster due to player handling so realize there will be some black no matter what you suggest.

Here's some photos of stuff I've painted in the past just to give you some ideas on what I've done

Second one is a color shifting paint. Doable but expensive. #6 is gold leaf, doable but time consuming (already have the materials though)
#7 is a gold paint, not leaf

Very nice.

For an X7 I'd say that some sort of camo pattern would look the most appropriate since it's firmly in the milsim category.

Something in I've always wanted to see is an Eclipse splash Model 98.

Random thought that occurred to me earlier.

Rasta hydro dip.

I'm not against camo patterns, as you can see I've done some, the splatter patterns are kind of a specialty of mine. I've noticed that pretty much any paint job will help sell a marker though

I’d do a hibiscus flower stencil job, but maybe a urban grey/blue color scheme instead of a woodland camo color scheme. I’ve seen someone do this years ago, I think it was white and black, and it looked real slick.

Hmmm, maybe not flowers but you just gave me an idea of maybe doing a 2 tone color, essentially like a ghost image. Would definitely need a stencil for that

I got a TGR2 about a year ago with a neat paintjob.

Hmmm, I haven't tried a "galaxy" before. Did you call that van Gogh or was that the previous owner? Because I'm sorry, as an art major I'm saying hell no, its not even in the ball park

Not a bad idea

I was wondering if I would have this problem, too many ideas. I might have to put up a poll

They both have the same colour palette. Close enough for government work.

Of one, ONE of his paintings. His style isn't defined by a color palette

I don't suppose any of those are for sale, are they?

Those have all sold already. If you see something you like I can probably recreate it though
