I am upgrading my gun and some of the peices that I have to work with are not the right color. Can I Paint My gun black? If so, what kind of paint should I useCan I spray paint my paintball gun?
You can literally spray paint it but you will get a very poor looking job.
Most people get their guns annodized by special companies who do it. An anno job costs anywhere from $150 to $1000+ depending on how complex of a design you want and which parts you want to color. It is very expensive to change the colour of your gun through annodizing but it is the best and more durable. The original colour of your gun is an anno job.
You can learn to annodize yourself but it is a dangerous and lengthy process that is diffcult to perform. Contact some annodizing companies, usually, you contact them and send in your order and then you mail them your gun and they do the job and mail it back to you.

Good luck, and if you try to spraypaint it or use enamel or whatever else people suggested, I guarantee your marker will look very very ugly. The colour will be uneven and the thickness will not be uniform. I highly recommend annodizing.Can I spray paint my paintball gun?
Yes you actually can. Get a super soaker or just a regular water squirter. Than you take your paintballs, open them up and pour them first into a glass, shake the glass up, pour the paint from the paintballs into the water squirter, enjoy!
P.s. : keep the paint warm at all times
yes you can. as far as the best kind of paint that depends on wither your painting metal or plastic parts. a side note if the barrel of the gun is painted orange by the manufacture it is technicaly illegal to paint over that, but whos going to turn you in.
just shoot it a couple times
Black enamel spray is the easiest to use, lightly sand down the parts to give the paint a good surface to stick to. Be sure to plug off or tape the inside, especially if you are doing the body or barrell. Also tape off any threads, the spray paint will start gumming up on any parts that are often taken off. However, to have good coverage, you should look into any local paintball shops to see if they, or anyone they know, offer adonizing. Most paintball guns are made from aluminum and they do much better with adonizing than spray paint.
