I bought 3 cans of Krylon MAXX for just under $18. It took a half hour to disassemble and catalog buttons, springs, screws, etc. It took 2 seconds to lose the trigger spring.

It took another hour to sand all the painted surfaces so they were matte and mask all the areas that needed to be protected, like the flywheel cage. It took 20 minutes to stage and set up a painting area. Another 30 minutes to get the first coat on. I came back 2 hours later and spent another 10 minutes on the second coat, then moved it all inside.

Final assemby took another 20 minutes, most of which was spent getting the barrel back in the nose piece because the tolerance were already tight before I repainted it.

Paint, $18. Time, 3 hours. Elite Rapid Red, priceless.
