Picked up my new Glock 17 on Monday, took it out and shot it today for the first time! VERY happy with the results.  A friend of mine who happens to be a Glock Armorer went shooting too. He then taught me how to take it totally apart. A dozen times later, I am a Glock God...  And once you have a pistol apart..... what comes next?! PAINT! Aluminum oxide blasted the whole frame. Two coats of Tiger Stripe Green, masked around the grips and painted them Flat Black. Duracoat of course. Before Picture, a mug any mother would love!  After picture, not totally done yet, two more coats to go, plus clear! But had to show it off.  Any thoughts? Flash on the camera does wash it out a bit.. Never thought I'd like a plastic gun. But I've never shot as well with a pistol as I did with this gun. I'm sold on Glock! |
| Looks great.....I want to do mine the other way around. OD Green on the slide and stock black on the frame. I just can't force myself to do it to a new gun. I have only had it two weeks. I was going to let it get a little wear on it first. :D Maybe next weekend...:D |

That's what I thought at first, then I saw one on here painted this way. I liked it. Just picked mine up monday, it KILLED ME to blast a brand new gun. But I smiled when I saw the outcome. Adding two coats tomorrow. One about 7 am, the next about 7pm. Then I'll clear coat it monday. Can't wait. Do it man! Don't look back! |
I'll usually paint two coats of each color. Depends on when the gun feels right to me. And either one or two coats of clear. Then a week of dry time before reassembly. When I blast something with AluOx it can Raise the fibers in plastic. So I paint and scuff until it feels perfect. And the poster above me is correct, it will definately outlive me. |
