is it true that you can not use cheap paint

Yes you do have to use a better quality grade paint. And it also does not do well in cold weather.

Depends what you want to do with this marker. As long as the measurement of the paintball is the recommended size, then it should not be a problem. This marker has "eyes" which minimizes the amount of broken ball in the barrel. In the last 20 years, paint has become very cheap. I bought 2000 rounds for around $30.00. In the 90's paint was about $75.00 per case. Good Paint is relatively cheap these days.

The paint is awful and old & it will ruin your paint job so don't use it. It stinks. Got to Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams & get a good oil based fresh paint. I called Zinser & they said it was old stock & it has to be fresh & why my paint job looks awful. I got all the paint off & worked for weeks for all my hard work to be ruined. Just call them & ask about tsp & check if it expired if u must use it. I learned the hard way & then to find it is not good. If it gets cold or two hot you get a terrible lumpy mess or some is solid some streaky & u think I just need a better brush so u try a roller & you never had a chance.

you can use any paint. but it suggests gun metal, grey, green, natural wood, olive drab, brass, tan, and yellow. I would also recomend some yellow and blue.

I have used oil based paint and it worked great. Make sure you clean it well afterwords.

I am sure you can paint any thing if you have the right primer and paint for the surface. Ask the paint store for the right products.

hi - as a buyer not seller - my thoughts are 1) they paint this black and its dirt cheap but you could paint over it and 2) I searched for a dark gray and found no one made colors but some places sold a primed not painted variation which might hold the paint better but it cost more then this one cost. "Junk Yards" which is where I thought I could get a good used one in my color - online at least - seemed to avoid telling colors and still charging more - .............. That is my experience (so I kept the black as black since the gray I needed is truly dark)

You technically don't have to. Although the picture shown on websites is a professionally painted version, the model doesn't actually have to be painted for it to look good.

No, but the spaces to paint are very tiny. Not easy for a young kid or tween.

I did not try, but I think it is a good idea. It should work, since the paint will probably not disturb/change, e.g. the thickness of the material. Good luck!

Don't use any of the paints it comes with. Buy quality paints (masters touch) etc...

I would consider it no harder than normal paint. Use primer then paint or you can use a all in one paint that includes a primer.

You can. There's a little bent straw in the paint well that feeds the paint. You need to have enogh paint in the well for the straw to be submerged in paint when painting above you.

You should not need to paint any gundam models (especially MG ones) unless they are really old. This kit has great colors right out of the box so unless you just don't like the shade of color the answer is no. The only pieces some people choose to paint are the "gold" parts that come in more of a dull bronze unless you buy the upgraded version of this kit with more stuff.

Yes. Just mix it into the paint according to instructions. The medium grade mix I find adds good texture.

Sure, why not. The finish is not gloss so you might be able to find a paint that you can use without sanding it. However the best way would be do a light sand, paint with primer and then apply the finish coat.

Yes, you could paint it. I thought of painting it myself if I didn't like the color. The louvered doors in the front are solid so the painting would be easy.
