usually metal kis comes with both upper and lower ... dont know about ics but with marui its lower and upper in the same package. fire selector and charging handle should be tm compatible ,so just get some nice g&p suff and it should fit (i'm sold to g&P lol) to paint your lower just get krylon camo flat black paint... if you want to do a great job, sand the receiver with a fine grit sandpaper (like 400 or even 1000 if you have some) then clean the receiver with a cloth with a little bit of acetone on it then pain in 3 (or more) very light layers... and you'll be alright till you turn 18

I heard from a friend that it is the upper receiver that is hard to replace, and the lower receiver is much easier.. is this true?

Beyond this, since I am focusing on upgrading the whole appearance of the rifle, how can one go about replacing fire selectors, and charging handles?

However, in the mean time, how hard is it to paint the lower receiver?
I am sure there has to be tutorials somewhere..

You have all been very helpful. Thanks!
