Water Toys


  Be prepared to fend off airship pirates or even the dreaded air kraken with a Dihydrogen Monoxide Projectile Weapons (commonly known as 'water gun')! Give some inexpensive water guns a punk look with little more than paint.

What you need:

We found some cool water guns for $10 at Walmart but we weren't happy with the Super Soaker colour scheme. To give the guns a bit more style you'll need:

  • Krylon Primer spray paint for plastic
  • Acrylic craft paints (black, brown, silver & bronze)
  • Spray on clear coat or sealer
  • Paintbrushes
  • Sandpaper
  • Drywall compound
  • Masking tape
  • Scraps of pleather and interesting plastic bottle (optional)
NOTE: Original author: ModMischief. This project won a prize in the Krylon Summer Projects Contest on Instructables.com (http://www.instructables.com/id/Dihydrogen-Monoxide-Projectile-Weapons/).

How and How Long:

  1. Prep the guns by covering up any needed holes.
  2. Prime the guns with Krylon primer
  3. Accent with metallic paint
  4. Seal the paints with a Krylon Sealer
  5. Add any last accents and you're done!
Approximate project time: 1 hour.

What it Costs:

Cost is under $20.
