It didn't cost me a lot, but that's because most of the materials I used were things I already had available (comes with having a lot of arts and crafts projects and getting into the habit of collecting every little titbit that looks like it might be made into something later). Time-wise, I think I made this over the course of a few days (it was a while ago, so I don't remember precisely).

As for stuff you'd need? Metallic paint, black primer, sandpaper, scissors/pliers/other cutting implements, wire, glue and whatever cool stuff you can find/buy to stick on the gun and make it look interesting.

My thought process was more along the lines of "That would look cool there.". Still, glad you approve.

I used some metallic paint I grabbed from the local B&Q a while back. Although, all things considered, in the future I'm probably going to switch to spray paint, the coat will likely come out smoother.

There's also a black undercoat I applied using a permanent marker - paint would've been more professional, but the marker was there, easy to use, and did the job. *shrug*

I know this is more than a month late, but I actually like how we can see the brush strokes. Sort of gives it a brushed metal feel, though that probably isn't exactly what they mean by 'brushed' metal.
