Pietak Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) Would you mind clarifying? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Please don't take offense, but it's a little ugly. It's a monster of a USP, as in,the gun looks really cheap, and that you threw on an expensive slide. The attempt at sanding the slide looks rushed, and dirty. The gun isn't even clean, the ammo clip, and "P8" trade look very dirty. I donno. I guess I'm a fan of ultra-clean looks, and not a weathered look you know? I'm the same kind of person who'd shiver at the sight of a sanded down AK reciever to look authentic. Edited May 13, 2006 by Pietak Link to post Share on other sites

I see what you mean, but I happen to like the weathered look. I'm in the process of cleaning up the p8 trademark and the slide, then I'm done. Link to post Share on other sites
Classicx Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 hey, buy some paint stripper at like Home Depot. I hear it gets the paint out really well. Link to post Share on other sites
donnie Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) USP with silvered metal slide. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I tried sanding a Glock slide - it turned out sort of like this.... it took me ages to get it looking absolute cr@p.- I had to throw it out cause it was just so bad....I`d suggest doing the same....

playa Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I can't. The slide was too expensive and it's not made anymore. Maybe I'll get some pro to repaint it black or gunmetal grey... Link to post Share on other sites
kenshin9 Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I can't. The slide was too expensive and it's not made anymore. Maybe I'll get some pro to repaint it black or gunmetal grey... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> what the hell suprised not many people like it, i actually like it, dont see many guns wit ha weathered look, keep it like it is. I personally think you USP looks great and different, a good weathered effect should be proud of that right there. Jas Link to post Share on other sites
playa Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Thanks. I personally do to, though I'm wondering if it was right to silver the slide now... Link to post Share on other sites
dhunt2299 Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I would wet sand it with 600 waterproof......it will clear it up quite a bit. Then I would dry sand with 1200 grit, dry it out, then get some polish and polish it up. making your gun "your own" is a fun thing to do.....making sure you do it right is the hard part.

systema Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) I like the painting itself, but it just doesn't look right on a gun in my opinion. However, like many people are saying, it's nice to see something different, and I applaud you for that.

Classicx Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 damn, for a second I thought that it was a KSC USP with a SD metal slide ($$$$) that you sanded. I see now that it is just a KJW =). Link to post Share on other sites

blazevich Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 hah well thanks for the comments anyways playa i like that slide anyways, ive got that handgun and it acually looks quite real yeah the scope will be replaced the second i have 80$ to spend on an Aimpoint knockoff Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Well heck I kind of like that weathering you have going on there, it looks like it has seen it's fair share of battle time and adds character to it. I would be tempted to keep it that way, perhaps clean it up a bit. It makes for great photos thats for sure. Link to post Share on other sites
SilentSwift Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think it looks pretty cool myself, just the large amounts of black in the finger grips at the back I think looks a bit off. If you could get that black out, it would kick *albatross*. Link to post Share on other sites
