A Vault Hunters Nerf Gun

     A year or two ago, I got the game Borderlands 2, it was easily one of the most fun games I've ever played.   In it, there was a skin for Salvador the Gunzerker.  The skin is called Root for The Home team and is Purple with an orange line going down it (picture below).  I don't know why, but I really love the look of this skin.  A month ago I was standing in the spray paint isle at Menards trying to decide what colors I should get to paint my next gun, I noticed they had the purples next to the oranges, so I grabbed a can of each and got ready to paint a gun.
         The first step to painting the gun was taping up the 2 handles of the raider.  I liked the gray and orange that the handles already had.  Next, I painted the gun orange, and waited for it to dry.  Once it was dry, all I had to do was paint the top orange and remove the tape, I compared taking the tape off a finished nerf gun to opening Christmas presents in an earlier blog post, but this time, it was much more like opening a red loot chest in borderlands 2.  The finished gun turned out great and is an amazing tribute to one of my favorites skins from borderlands 2.
