I havent' purchased ANY materials yet as I'm waiting for more feedback from this post, and the same post I've put elsewhere on the net.
didnt someone post a link before for a tutorial?? i can't find it.

do the head and guns need to be primed first?
what kind of "glue" should i use?

Hope to start this today.

First thing is give any of the factory items a good wash in warm water with a mild dish soap and use a toothbrush to get rid of the factory releasing agent.

I have actually painted up that exact pistol. Priming would not hurt. I did not and the flat black base I used did not adhere too well but I also cannot remember if I washed it or not. With most weapons I just flat black base it and once dry give it another flat black coat to even it up. Then add any semi gloss if I want the black shiny. After that just use some silver and a very fine brush to apply any of the silver touches.

As for gluing, I have seen others use a lot of different super glues. I like the brush ones for a lot just for the added control aspect.
