Found this old Clone Trooper Nerf blaster at Goodwill a few days ago. It was in pretty rough shape, considering it's about 15 years old and was probably played with a lot by its previous owner. The paint was chipped, the battery leads for the scope were slightly corroded, and the front sight had partially come off. I cleaned off the leads with some alcohol-soaked Q-tips, reattached the front sight by plastic welding it, and began sanding the whole thing for repainting. I also filled in the unnecessary screw holes, except for the rear one for the battery compartment, with epoxy.

Once everything was sanded, I gave the blaster a few coats of flat black and filled in all the extra details with a metallic silver paint pen. I sealed the blaster with a couple of coats of Kamar varnish.

Looks great!! Love that texture in the paint job. I've been keeping an eye out for one of these myself at my Goodwill it's amazing what you can find there in the toy isle . I found the vintage 97 Han Solo laser tag set there in working order!!
