Color Black

is it ok to color the orange tips of airsoft guns black? if so what kind of trouble can i get into?

according to the laws of the state of texas which i am from, i want to know if i can some how spray paint or color the orange tip of my airsoft gun to the color black? which would make it look real. what kind of trouble would i get into if i do so? jail? ticket fine? if so, how long i stay in jail ? and how much is the fine?
what about painting the tips of real handguns orange? is there any charge for that? is there any law that says i cant do that?

No you can't paint the tip of your airsoft gun to simulate the real thing. How about dead as a consequence. The only thing that keeps a cop from drawing on you and maybe shooting you is that orange tip. It IDs the gun to the cop or security officer that it is non lethal. Beyond that try assault with a deadly weapon, brandishing a weapon, or any other crime that can be upped with a deadly weapon. The gun may not be real but the charge will stem from the person that sees it point of view. There have already been cases of people convicted of armed robery with toy weapons, since the victim can't tell it's a toy it's considered real when the charges come down.
