Some things I have learned: us painters tape to cover areas you don't want painted (duh), make sure that the paint goes accordingly with the blaster (helps to make a mock-up using an editing software so it looks the way you want), and remember that depending on the material (in this case plastic) and the paint, the texture will change, too. And remember to keep the tip orange on blasters that look somewhat realistic. Also, it helps to disassemble the blaster to make sure some parts don't get painted a wrong color.

I hope this helped.
