[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Color Matches Between Upper and Lower?

Posted: 9/13/2005 2:16:56 PM EDT

I'm getting a Del-Ton 16" Carbine kit and was wondering what receiver matches the color of the Del-Ton kit? I'm down to either a MEGA Gator or an Ameetec but was wondering which of these matches the Del-Ton get the best?

You will never get a perfect color match. Many factory rifles do not come with perfectly matching upper and lower.

As long as both the upper and lower are anodized with the same process, that is is close as you are going to get.

I must be the only guy here who couldn't give a shit less about upper/lower finish match.

Shit! Once they get all dirty and beat up, who cares?

If it really is important........
Can parts be re-anodized?
Can you just use automotive engine paint?

Parts can be refinished using gun coat, duracoat or norells. You can use engine paint but the results won't be as good obviously.

Color matches should be banned!
