Is there a link on how some of the members do their paint jobs?  I practiced on an airsoft and quite honestly...it sucked.  Please help.

Go to the Refinishing forum under Armory ^ , It's at the bottom of the page. They have picture threads and tutorials very helpful.

buying a new ar15-1,200 $, painting it yourself-50$, taking it to the range w/ the new paintjob and getting laughed at? PRICELESS!!!   all i can say is keep practicing on your airsoft disaster a few more times before hitting the ar. id hate to see ya ruin it. good luck though. TS

well NVY, how did it go? TS

You must not be with the program

i dont know whos program your on when it comes to people w/ little to no painting experience. and yes i do like a good paintjob on an ar. but after funning w/ the guy a little i did suggest for him to practice plenty before attempting it on his ar as they are not cheap. i on the other hand wont attempt or chance ruining something expensive due to my lack of experience w/ said project w/ out lots of practice. and if i want it perfect, ill pay a professional to due it. you shouldnt just tell a guy, "ya go at it". cause if he ruined the project, he'd be bummed. therefore "practice makes perfect"!!
