Got Wood? Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Love the dark silver effect. Picked up an HFC revolver yesterday for peanuts and fancy painting it for a fake blues effect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatgutViolin Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Not airsoft, but I've been experimenting a lot with finishes on my squirt gun in anticipation of the actual bb slinging build. Looks like this is it. Very nice RC, mind sharing the technique? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) To start there are three finishes going on here: the Steyr reciever, Steyr mag well and magazine, and the cylinder side plates. -Steyr receier - 2 coats flat black acrylic epoxy, 2 coats black shellac, rubbed on silver (spray a piece of cloth, let dry, rub on surface), 2 coats clear shellac, 1 coat mahogany shellac (for rust tint), run with scouring pad in 1 direction (don't zig-zag, it WILL show) for the carded look, buff with cloth. If you see uneven spots run the scouring pad on it some more and rebuff. The trick is you have 2 surfaces that the eye picks up: the actual painted object underneath and the scuffed and polished shellac which acts like tiny parallel mirrors picking up the glare and really accenting on those carded marks. -Steyr mag well - same as above but minus the silver rub and rust tint -side plates - same as above but minus silver rub, rust tint, and scouring Edit: The reason I went to shellac is that I find clear lacquer to never, ever really dry and it doesn't take well to the scouring process.

chas Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 AOR1 done with Montana 94 and Krylon Sand (base color), using these stencils: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pack-Digital-Camo-Vinyl-Airbrush-Stencil-Kit-HUGE-24-x-26-Camouflage-/191060724036?hash=item2c7c1b4944 Was not happy with the result. If you pay attention, you'll notice that the pixels are all over the place, while in actual AOR they tend to cluster: areas with a lot of 3rd and/or 4th, and areas which are clean. I have since painted the gun in AOR2 and I am now much happier with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dog green 1 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Dog Green 1, what brand of paints do you use? All your work is amazing! I tend to get them made up as its more cost affective than rattle cans. All single pack acrylics with the odd enamel for certain colours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gunmane Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I do feel like the fire selector markings should say "Explosion!, More Explosions!, and ####!" , the latter for safe obviously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
