Just picked up my auction winnings this week and have already started cleaning and refinishing as needed. The Shanghai Model 62 just needed cleaning and gun wax. It shoots very well and quite accurate. The Crosman 66 Powermaster is almost spotless and came with its box. The Benjamin 347 needs a little TLC on the stock but it shoots well. The Crosman Model 114 needs some serious work and not sure if it holds air until I receive the tank I ordered.
Here's where I'm hoping to get a little advice. I'm certainly not a painter but I've painted a 1946 CJ2A Willys and it turned out acceptable for the woods. Slapped on plenty of paint on interiors and exteriors along with trim. Used rattle cans on lots of metal items that weren't destined to be viewed up close. I got a can of Kleen Stripper spray and tackled the 114, cleaned it all up with Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber and some fine steel wool. I think it's ready for painting. My first question is what kind of paint, enamel, epoxy, or acrylic? Assuming a primer compatible with the paint is necessary. Any additional tips greatly appreciated. TIA
