TaxiDriver Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Did you take a series of photo's as the job progressed ? How about a more detailed write up of the method/process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Did you take a series of photo's as the job progressed ? How about a more detailed write up of the method/process. nope Ill do another one at some point and take loads of pics. a nice job, will it last or rust over? Should last as its had a coat of clear varnish. I didnt take the blueing off underneath, so it shouldnt rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subbyc Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I used Krylon paint from the airsoft world on my rusty BRNO barrel. The matt black went on well and looks really good. Seems to last fairly well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Looks good however the longer I shoot the more I realise cammo doesn't matter much field craft and staying still do though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 It looks fine now, but I'd be genuinely interested in seeing it in 6 months time after it's had a bit of friction, weathering and general bashing about. Just to see whether the finish lasts or is chipped away/peels away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevelee24 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) best paint to use is Duracoat and a airbrush anything else is useless and scrapes off i have duracoat for sale and use it myself for any job i do it simply cant be beaten for quality and durability Edited December 30, 2011 by stevelee24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
