I want an OD green 1911. Which is the most permanent that I can do myself. I have a sandblaster and access to paint equipment. I also own a stove if it is the bake on kind.

suggestions please.

Duracoat when properly applied is one damn durable finish.

Dura coat

+45

"OD Green" DuraCoat on the slide, grip safety and MSH. "Stainless" DuraCoat on the frame and barrel bushing.

I even used the "glow-in-the-dark" sight paint DuraCoat on the sights, though this shot doesn't show that.
