M4,
My process is NOT paint! I would STRONGLY advise AGAINST painting any polymer with ANY type paint. The properties of the paint (no matter HOW "good" or "tough" it may be) is irrelevant to it's abilities to permanently adhere to this polymer. It WILL (sooner or later) release.
My process is called Thermal Dye Sublimation.
I actually press "thin" and "transparent" sublimation pigment INTO the plastic. You would have to scrape off plastic to remove the coloring.
I have more info located at:
alpinetek.netfirms.com/guns/SL8/I hope you find the info useful.
Yeah.. Rails do mount to the gun. This gun was sent to me dismanted. These are the pics of just the items sent for my recolor job.
A permanent MB would be awesome and much better looking. I'm hoping that E&L release a "SD" type shroud soon for this gun.
I'm not a gunsmith and do not perform gunsmithing services, so I can't be of any service to you on any other thing relative to either the USC or SL8-1. I can just make 'em Black (or Green).
