OK guys, I'm looking for ideas/suggestions on refinishing my Desert Eagle. The original black finish was looking prematurely worn (if you've ever handled a DE in black, you'll know what I mean) so I decided to give it a new paint job.
Originally, when I dropped it off at my local refinisher (Hoosier Gun Coat Home Page ...gotta check them out if you need any refinishing done.., they are awesome) I was going to get it redone in a satin silver/chrome. Something like this..
After giving it some thought, I said why not get it redone in a little more bold or unique finish. It's basically a novelty, so why not do something a bit different.
I came up with the some ideas below, but am not really happy with any. I'd like to hear suggestions or comments on how to refinish this unique pistol.
P.S. for those that like their pistols either black or silver, that's cool, but please keep any snide, unproductive comments to yourself. I realize this isn't for everyone.
