My repainted WE 1911:
At first:
After sandpapered down:
After paint:
As you can see the paint is not that good, and I missed to do a piece before I took the images. But the only pieces that are silver now is where the shell fly's out (dont know the name) and the trigger.
I wanted a torn look, but this paint made it torn just a bit too much. But I will post images again in a few weeks/months so you can see how it looks then.
