Cerakote slide in Sniper Gray by AllenM. I like the look of bi-tone but the factory silver on most looks too gawdy.

I agree! The more subtle 2 tone looks great!

Great thread... this indeed should be stickied in the General Discussion forum. I'd love to try some of this for myself.... sigh.. so many things to learn, so little time.

Nice work on those. Did you source the pre-Bs from Robertson's? That's where I got my three from. What grips did you end up going with? One of these days I'll get around to photographing the other two that were refinished and post those. One has a silver slide, black frame and the other has a dark silver frame and a blued slide. Both of those are running CajunGunWorks trigger kits too.

Yup, they came from Tennessee. Two have new stock grips and the nightstand gun wears Hogue softies and tritium sights. Haven't spring for the tritiums for the other two yet.

I really like how that looks! I agree, the factory bi-tone is too bright for my tastes as well.

I traded my buddy 3 black gen 2 Pmags, for 3 FDE gen 2 Pmags, and I really like the contrast to the black lower!

I haven't shot my AR since I was at your house.

Get on it son! I got a new (to me) pistol today! We need a hillside trip, and some 100 yard fun with M1s!

How did you prep the metal? Did you sand at all or blast it with abrasive before painting? Any way to scratch proof the finish once you paint? Great work!

 

[philbert001]

I mostly use my blast cabinet for prep. Nothing is scratchproof! If it needs to be scratchproof, leave it in the safe!
