Rez 4,961 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Im thinking of doing a bit of a paint job on my 97. Its silver at the minute, or 'stainless' but Im hoping to give it a coat of paint, the right paint and process, to make it matt black, keeping the mod, or barrel weight gloss blued as is. Whats the process and what might I need to look at or do? Tar. Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I think I'd look to swap actions with some one who has blued metalwork and fancies stainless. Painted gun metalwork looks a bit poo. Quote Link to post
VWman 232 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Could you do a camo wrap or a carbon fibre wrap ? Quote Link to post

Painted gun metalwork looks a bit poo. Perhaps, but my action is liquidy... I important cog in the set up, and Ive spent plenty of time getting it right too. You you do have a fair point. If I do it right and plan well, it might turn out ok... he who dares rodney. I could carbon wrap it yes... I shall have a think. Quote Link to post

smk 31 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi you could get the action anodised which would be far better than painting. Quote Link to post
treecreeper 1,136 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I painted a webley looks fine, but it wasn't worth much and it was a break barrel so no levers or out for it to wear off and look pony. Quote Link to post
