Hope you guys enjoy the stuff I do. I have a 7 year old so they idea to work on nerf guns just occured to me about 6 months ago. I now have a shop where I work on orders and projects - usually about 5-7 hours a day after work and on weekends. It's never going to make me rich, but if it provides me a fun hobby and some extra cash for the family, I'm a happy man

just a little .99 cent toy grenade. I liked the cast and thought it would look cool painted up!

Nerf Longshot - Modded up!
I picked up a Nerf gun at our annual neighborhood garage sale.
First time attempting a repaint and I'm pleased. Done with rattle can black and silver, hit the black with steel wool and finished the silver with several black washes. I sanded most of the text off, leaving just the Nerf logo.

Dang man! JohnsonArms, love your creativity. Good stuff man!
WOW!!!
That looks amazing! What kind of prep did you do? Any sanding before painting?
Maybe a Dremel next time to get rid of the Nerf logo?
All in all that looks great!!! Well done sir.

It began life as this: http://www.amazon.com/Kids-Army-Lights-Sounds-Machine-Pistol/dp/B00AFK01YK/ref=cm_cr-mr-title
I took it apart, cut off things that weren't supposed to be there (like the non-movable hammer and the huge sight), and added a few other things (the upper barrel, made from audio cable connectors; the lower barrel and second trigger, both from a revolver from a dollar store; and halves of a bottle of hand sanitizer for covering up the fake bullets), put it back together, and painted it.
Figuring out how to simulate transparency on the handle was tricky. I had painted the entire handle silver, and first, I wanted to use transparent paint for glass, but I couldn't find any in the right color. I ultimately decided to try going over it with orange and yellow-orange Sharpies and then putting on a few layers of Mod Podge to seal it and make it shiny. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
Thank you very much! I'm sorry I don't get out to post much anymore, but by the looks of things I've left the thread in good hands while I'm gone I hope it gets you inspired to have a go at it, yourself!
Not nerf but my Firefly 'verse-ish gun from this..

Thanks for the kind words!Dang, that's sweet. In the countless eBay searches I've gone for toy guns to customize, I've always been seeing that cap gun come up, and I thought it had a cool design but never thought of a way to use it.
You definitely changed the trigger guard. Did you change the grip too? It looks different from the unmodified version, although I suppose that could just be because of the different trigger guard.
