Really Interesting... About Painting Pros/cons

Post by pigtailsboy » Mon Aug 29, 2005 5:28 am

sORRY about the annoying title but, well hey whatever.
I wasn't sure if anyone has done this yet.


I've heard that blue and purple being on the part of the color spectrum they are don't show up at as great a distance as red or other warm colors.

Now seeing as most people paint their guns green (increasingly more bright and neon) I thought it would be best to set things straight as to the best way to paint your gun. And I think that darker colder colors are the way. The added bonus beeing that at night colors of blue-green, blue and purple turn black and in the day time are fairly dark as well.


Am I right in my thinking here because I'd like to know from those who've tried.

Welcome to Super Soaker Central! Please take the time to read our rules, because you obviously haven't.

Please avoid titles in caps and then commenting on it. Also, re-read your posts for little errors like that sorry one.

How great of a distance are you talking about? My vision is terrible and I can still see someone holding a considerable sized water gun from a good distance (in the correct colors I might add). If anything, some strange color rule like that likely applies after miles and miles at least.

Well if you consider the fact (I was just thinking this) that it's easier to detect or pick up longer wave lengths like infared. I don't think long wave lengths are disturbed as much as short wave lengths.

I'm BSing though, I have no idea what or why it works that way...
