L4Isoside Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Cool thanks!! Spiderman 3, Crackdown, (not seen ver well) Gears of war, PGR3 and dead rising It would look really cool but would be really hard. I think wire wool wouldn't be sutible for that, as its all messy, i wouldn't be able to control were it sands, (like at the bottom of the slide) etc. sand paper would be easier... but it give a different finish...Grrr Has anyone got stable advice on what is best for my idea? lol Im thinking sand paper, with T cut, brasso, silvo...? thanks Chris.

Eskimo_Magic Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I used Wet'n'dry on pot metal on my WE grades 240, 400, 600 then 800 to finish, looks fine and pot metal always has a better looking finish after polishing than most metals. Link to post Share on other sites
L4Isoside Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Well thanks... If anyone knows the best thing to do for MY idea, would be great... Needs to be easyish.. with a good finish. If anyone knows were i can get a metal slide seprate, and a threaded outer barrel, i know of both together, but the outer barrel isnt threaded... and decent metal? for the KSC Glock 18C... Thanks, Chris. Chris Link to post Share on other sites
Miker Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thats my Glock.. I think The super Shiny look, looks very good with the contrast of the black. I might actually try doing the edges as well... You could wait for me to finish and see if you like it lol... Also You could do the entire thing in sand paper then polish it, and go over it with a metal finishing pad. Link to post Share on other sites
L4Isoside Posted July 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Quite nice, i ant even got the slide yet and im going away for 3 weeks on holiday on monday... i've got T Cut, brasso and shino now. all i need now is the best way to do the edges, wire wool, which will be harder to controll, or sandpaper...? lol thanks.

Dont wait till the papers clogged keep rinsing and relubing it as you go along. Link to post Share on other sites
