Billy Bob the Sniper Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Use the tip of the flame... where it is yellow/orange. Hold it there for a few seconds almost where the flame is barely touching it. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 To answer some questions about the finish on my PDW... I painted the whole thing flat black, then with 2000 grit sand paper sanded it all down. Then I sanded the TTB just to make it shiney. Then all over the guns finish I took a lighter and burnt it where I thought carbon build up would be. It turns out great and is mostly permanent, The brake you can rub it off but I try not to. After a while it will stay. That looks awesome Billy! Nicely done. That's one of the best TTB's I've seen.

hwagan Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Billy Bob, cheers for that; I've just done mine and it looks awesome. If it's any help to anyone, the tip of a Zippo flame coats everything in carbon in seconds, maybe the fuel makes it more 'carbony'? I'll get a picture up when i get me hands on the camera.

Really well done.  BTW, I'm interested in buying your TTB. I just don't have the time to work on mine. Let me know. Link to post Share on other sites
hwagan Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Mine doesn't look nearly as good, but that took me literally less than 120 seconds. For lack of a better term, wrap some very fine sandpaper around the flash-hider, jack it off for a while, then burn it with the pointy bit of a lighter flame. Link to post Share on other sites

I'll get a picture up when i get me hands on the camera. *edit* That was quick...  From the pics I've seen of the RS ones, they're much more blackened, and it starts right at the tip and moves up. What a buddy of mine did, was hold it with pliers, threads facing up, and hold it over a lit match. Made it look very real.  What another friend of mine did was take some cooking oil, put it in a small, and I mean small, bowl, and then put a piece of cotton in there. Then he balled up the cotton and twisted the tip into a wick. The very end of it was dry however, so be careful. Light, and then hold flash hider over it, and it will get carbon coated in seconds. Side note- my friend who did the cotton thing is a Hindu, as am I, and making that make-shift candle is part of prayer, and the idea of carbon coating just came to him then.
