Baldrick Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 You would have been wiser to have either the gun intact, or applied No-Mar tape, or parkerised all the external metal surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob300w Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 You would have been wiser to have either the gun intact, or applied No-Mar tape, or parkerised all the external metal surfaces. As Baldrick says, plus you have not done yourself any favours by spraying paint into the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushkin Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Ciderboy, if that paint doesn't dull down a bit when properly dry, you can take the sheen off it by gently going over the whole thing very lightly with either very fine wire wool available at most hardware shops or plumber's merchants or using something like 1200 grade wet and dry - preferably done dry after rubbing on a piece of wax (this fills the spaces between the grains and makes it even finer. The actual patterns look very good - but the shine is a worry. Brave man Pushkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
