Souske Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Very good first paintjob! I returned my M4 back to black, and reblued the outer barrel, dust cover, and carry handle nobs (not pictured). All the previous camo paint were first stripped. Once that was done, I added coats of Krylon ultra flat black. I'm still thinking of what pattern to use if I camo it again.

Tommygunn Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) Souske, Are you saying you have a steel outer barrel("reblued the outer barrel")? If so who is it made by? EDIT: Ah, Guarder do steel barrels. Edited May 18, 2006 by Tommygunn Link to post Share on other sites
systema Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Your last paintjob was excellent, Souske, can't wait to see what you have in store for your next. Personally, if my M4 was painted like your previous, I'd be bitterly reluctant to thin away such a great paintjob. Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Thanks Systema, but paintjobs do tend to wear off after a while (even though mine wasn't too bad yet), I decided to strip the camo off as the season has changed again (with more green now). At the moment, I'm just going to keep it black, as since it has been a while since it's been black. Tommygun, the outer barrel is only a stock TM barrel (yes, the "crappy" 1st generation barrels that come in 3 pieces). Since it came with a blue finish, I thought it could be reblued, so I bought a bottle of cold blue solution to re-blue it. Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 More pictures of my refinished M4, now featuring the Masterkey. Full metal (except for the 870). Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 So how did you get the blueing effect on your barrel since it's aluminium? Is it some kind acid similar to that used on steel? Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 All I used was cold blue solution called "Perma Blue." It comes in a liquid form, and you apply it onto the part via cottonball, etc. Very convenient. Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Interesting. I'd always been under the impression that only steel could be blued Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I had that same assumption. But since TM Barrels come with a blued finish, I went ahead and tried the cold blue solution to see if it worked, and it did. Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 The JagdRaben 'G36K-Raven' as I call it... this is Phase Three of modifications. I'll get around to painting the reciever and mag well... eventually. Link to post Share on other sites

Souske Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 boardslide113, that is a very very well executed camo paint job. I think I may have found a new potential inspiration for the next paint job I do. Link to post Share on other sites

Souske Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I finished the finish on the RIS rail covers and the suppressor (complete with sound insulating foam) today. This is Day 3 of the "re-finish" project of the M4 (returning it black, it was camo before). I used a dark gray primer for the suppressor color, and buffed it until it had a satin finish to it (as a opposed to an ultra flat look) for a real steel look. Link to post Share on other sites

boardslide113 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 What type of fauna did you use to acheive that pattern? Besides common garden ferns <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All i did was start with a base layer and then went out to the garden witha flashlight and picked about 20 different kind of plants. Some worked better then others. But it turned out awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

But i think the camo should work very well where I play. I honestly have to say that painting it was almost as fun as playing with it in a game. Link to post Share on other sites

Souske Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Alright, new updates. This is Day 4 of returning the M4 back to a professional black finish, and it may be the last day. I also re-finished the BE 870, and finished the fabrication of my precision tactical suppressor (long type). I have two masterkey systems, the Hardballer 870, and this BE 870. The BE 870 is much lighter, and easier to wield than the Hardballer. Link to post Share on other sites
