Oh thanks for the tip!

Man i love what you have done with the armor! Looks bad a$$ lol. I do have a question for you though, where did you get the magnetic primer, and have you tested it yet?? cause omg that would be so helpful on my chest armor when i do it if it works lol.
I picked up the primer at home depot, but i've spotted it at other hardware stores:

That stuff is pretty thick and requires a whole ton of stirring (the metallic bits in the paint settle pretty quickly). As to it's magnetic properties, after a few layers, my lose rare earth magnets do stick to the chest plate. But I'm not sure how much weight they can hold. They don't feel terribly strong and I thinking maybe only a fridge magnet or light pieces will stick well. Even if the magnetic part doesn't work out that well, I really like it's look and color, it makes the armor look actually more metallic. I was sorely tempted to leave my armor just coated in the primer because it had a slight brushed metal look to it
I can't see the metallic paint thing working out. I used very strong magnets on the back of my armor which I attached a plastic rifle too. It stuck but if I moved too much it would fall right off. If I were you, I would buy strong magnets, cut circles in your armor, and user a VERY strong glue to glue them in there. If you make them flush and paint over it, it might look neat but I could see the paint attaching from attaching the gun. You would also put magnets on the gun so the two would stick together.
I could see your paint thing working out only if the gun was SUPER light, like paper light.
