So, after looking through every mod I could ever find on Youtube, I came across these videos of small children spray painting nerf guns all black, no clear coat, no orange, no detail, just black, and then posting Tutorials on how to do it. This is so depressing to realise that these kids can get as much, if not more, fame than someone who actually contributes to the nerf community. I am NOT trying to send hate, but just giving tips to n00bs. Example:
On YT I found a video of a 8 year old giving a tutorial on how to paint a nerf gun. He failed, but by his standards, he beat some of the best cosmetics on NH. He took the blaster and put in on his table. Mistake #1. Always paint on cardboard, or at least newspaper. Mistake #2/3/4. He didn't take it appart. He took out the "Clip" (I am now officially triggered. It's a mag) and set them on the table outside. He then proceeded to take out a can of black spray paint and left no orange tip or trigger. For safety and function of the blaster, we modders, leave the tip orange. That way you don't get shot by a cop, and as I live near Detroit, I prefer to stay alive. Mistake #5. He said that he liked how it turned out, and some other gibberish that he stole from a Drac video, and walked to the camera and turned it off.
Tip #1
If you are going to make actual modders look bad, at least don't brag and post it to Youtube
Tip #2
Leave moving parts and tips orange
Tip #3
Don't clickbait your title. "Custom Painted Nerf Gun" is clickbait. And yes, this is a lot like rule 1
I will post more of these tips and tricks soon
