Would it be cheaper just to buy a new gbb with a shiny slide?

Tried using silver/aluminum pain.. I tried testors and Tamiya both aerosol and through airbrush. The paint is very thin despite numerous coatings so it will wear out quickly for sure. Its slightly better with an aerosol. but still not durable enough to handle wear and tear. Usually model aircrafts arent handle as much as we handle our guns so it wouldnt work.
Hey Brian, my kit will be arriving next Tuesday, I will definitely report back to tell you my results.
