Painting a old Crosman 150

[holo07]

Am thinking about painting this one. If you have done a Crosman pistol, please post a picture and let us know how you did it. I did the vent rib on this one for now a really like how it looks. Flat black spray paint is what I used.

although I think it looks good the way it is now..

I've been thinking of painting/adding color to some of my slingers I do like the black that you did

With painting preparation is everything, would strongly suggest making sure you prepare the services well by giving them a light sanding removing any rust, and ensuring that you take off as much stuff as you can, to get a really clean paint job without having to mask off bits of the gun.

Also would suggest putting something in the barrel to protect the rifling, and ensuring that
the mechanism of the action is not painted.

I won't try to talk you out of paint because it's a subjective decision, but I think some steel wool and a cold blue like Van's or Brownell's Oxpho Blue will restore it to its former beauty.

I decided to do the vent rib / rear sight / loading port cover with flat black paint. Then I steel wool and sanded the rest. Holding air and I like the look.

Looks great I'm a fan of steel wool.
