that looks awesome, I normally like the black rifles, but that... that's sexy right there. How did you fill in the Weatherby writing?

Thanks. It was almost a shame to refinish it. It had a beautiful factory blue but the owners brother got deer blood on it. Doing the lettering is quite easy. After I bake the gun blue finish I reheat the barrel to around 125 degrees and spray whatever I want to do in the gold (brass color actually) and let it air dry for 20-30 minutes. Then I just take a rag with thinner and wipe the over spray off. I hold the rag tight over my finger tip. If the letters aren't deep it's almost impossible to do this as the rag will wipe the finish out of the letters. Then I bake the part again for another hour. |

I will probably get s#it for posting this but o well:
This Glock 19 was auctioned off at the Northern Virginia Friends of NRA banquet this past Friday. It turned out to be the most exciting item of the night with 5 people bidding on it and the proceeds went to the NRA Foundation. In case you were wondering its Duracoat Lady Pink and the pictures were taken before the clear coat. |

How much did you pay for it? |

See what I am talking about! |

+1 on what is this color? |

Sorry for the late reply just saw the post now. I used duracoat advanced tiger stripe brown. You'll have to call them to order the color, it normally comes with one of kits. No special technique, just degrease the stock like any other part and spray. Like everyone says prep is the key. I usually set the compressor pressure to about 30-35 and use a 12 to 1 mix with paint and hardener. I usually put about 3 coats on and wait several hours between coats if not over night. once painted let parts set at least 24 hrs before putting everything back together and then let it sit in the safe a few weeks to fully harden before beating it up. The one down side of duracoat is the cure time, duracoat does make camo jobs and touch ups a lot easier though. |

Shotgun looks great and should be a very effective camo pattern...how about some pics outside? Again, great job. BTW - what kind of templates did you use...Bulldog, duracoat, homemade? |
||
|
real nice. |
||
real men shoot bull barrels. its all about the girth.
|
Tested and Bjwar - thanks! I used Bulldog Flectar (sp?) templates...I think they work pretty good.
Tested - are you kidding me...your latest project looks positively BAD-ASS! Looking at the picture with the fire, that reminds me of my attempts to try to preheat my gun and spray Norrells!! (only caught my cardboard spray box on fire twice).

||

|
yes, I coated all pins, levers ect. just not any fiberglass parts or Eotech. I wanted everything to match since I whent so far with it.
|
|
|
I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of rifle is this and if this is a aftermarket stock who manufactures it. |
||
|
its a blaser, not sure what model. cool link world.guns.ru/sniper/sn26-e.htm |

You did a great job if I do say so. What template did you use? |

No template, blue masking tape a thin sharpie marker and an exacto knife. I placed the masking tape on a plastic cutting board, drew the shapes on, cut them out with the exacto and put them on the rifle. Worked out pretty well and cheap!

Looks really good...sometimes the best camo jobs are the ones where you aren't trying so hard. |

|
+1. Tested..what did you use for mesh? |

Thanks Chapperjoe. I'm kicking my ass for not taking a pic of the rear sight..I was very happy with the way they turned out. ETA..here is a vintage Colt from the same customer. I tried my best to convince him to let me do it in gun blue but he wanted it flat black. The original finish was in bad shape. The shiny spots are oil. |

It's an OD netting that snipers use for C&C. Looks like a real fishnet from a sporting store more than pantyhose.
In retorspect I would have secured the netting completely around the weapon and then painted it. It would also be nice if you had an extra hand to help hold it. You have to very careful when pulling the net off or it will smear the paint. Also want to hold it very steady and close to the surface if you want crisp lines. |

Man, I like the way that mesh looks! |
||
|
I look forward to seeing it finished with the green and black. |
||

I dunno, I'm not much of a blue fan except when its completely uniform and perfect. that's why these flat finishes on old guns just tickle me pink. the uniformity of the finish lets you appreciate the function and form itself, which is gorgeous. Like the 1911's on teh cover of hte 1st edition of sweeneys 1911 book (pictured here next to a 1911 I had....
a good finish means there's nothing to distract you from the form itself, and the FORM and FUNCTION of the guns like teh 1911 and the revolvers you are posting are what make them beautiful. (that might've sounded a little artsy fartsy, but whatever.... ) |
|
There is but one truth in the world and it is all yours. If you are not sure of it stay at home; but if you are sure don't look back and it will be your way.
|
I will be posting a finished picture soon! |

Here's my buddy's Savage that I recently refinished for him in Woodland using Bulldog Arms templates.
Overall, I'd say not bad for the first camo job (I've done a number of single color finishes before), there were a few things I learned that I would now do different-but it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. |

That looks fantastic lawman.

Here is my Bushmaster lower and LMT upper I refinished in Duricoat Semigloss HK Black. I did the lower, rail, foregrip, buttstock, and the EOTECH hood and batt comparment. I think it looks good for my first time.
