dannyboy Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Thanks guys. I think I've seen uiksilver6184's WE, isn't it the one thats fully polished with american legend grips aka hitman style. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yush *finds picture* I nearly bought it. Schmexy schmexy pistol Link to post Share on other sites
axl Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Wow that looks amazing . Anyone know how uiksilver6184 polished that? It looks very even, better than it would with a brushed look, which i normally prefer... Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I don't believe he polished it...I believe he spray painted it... it was a little while ago...I could be wrong... Link to post Share on other sites
axl Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Oh that would explain the finish... Shame really cause i could have used some help on that Still looks great though Link to post Share on other sites
SamJacksonFan Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Come on … that's not fair. You cannot just show such a beautiful piece to a guy like me who wants this type of gun so badly. I almost ruined my keyboards from the water floating water out of my mouth … Prime or PGC? So beautiful those Springfield ones … I only would have gone for an other sight, but that's all my personal issue … this novak is beautiful though. Link to post Share on other sites

dannyboy Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Shame really cause i could have used some help on that <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From his sale thread: Here are the specs: WE 1911- I stripped off all of the paint, sanded everything smooth, repainted using scratch-proof Rustolium paint and clear coat, and then wetsanded the entire thing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to post Share on other sites
axl Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Oh great thanks for that dannyboy. I have one question though, why would you wetsand after painting? Sorry if that's a stupid question I've just never tried that before. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
krame Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 ok, so I'm polishing the frame on WE tonight. Does anyone have a picture of the SA trophy match gun from the other side so I can see if the controls are polished or black. I was thinking about leaving the controls, trigger, mag release and hammer black. And polishing the frame like the SA picture above. Link to post Share on other sites

hkssr20det Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I have one question though, why would you wetsand after painting? Sorry if that's a stupid question I've just never tried that before. Wetsanding is used to even the actual finish, to remove any dimpling or irregular paint build up in places. Often used on car finishes to give that perfectly flat, even coat. Link to post Share on other sites

BigAl Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 ###### to late to edit! Obviously I mean't right side. As I'm feeling less cryiptic and more helpful know, i'll explain. IF you look carefully you will see that the shafts of the safety, slide release and mag catch visible on the right side are black. Link to post Share on other sites
krame Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 lol, I see what you mean. I got a better Idea of it after looking at hitmans gun more. Thanks for the info BigAl, I'm off to polish it right now. I'll post pics when I'm done. Link to post Share on other sites
