Hey all,

I have a question with regards to an emitter firing through paint. I'm working on my FT project and I'm trying to find a good spot to mount the emitter. My preference would be right below the gun inside the recoil cylinder. I would like to have it recessed 9mm but it would also mean I'd have to cut off the existing end from the model and replace it with a clear plastic cap. Could I paint this new cap (it would look ridiculous to leave it clear obviously) or would that block/dampen or weaken the IR signal going through it?

i don't know what can or can't be done with emitters.

Thanks for any advice!

Dave
