basically it is brush painted with standard enamel model paint...(boltgun metal ) is the name of the paint....got it at a local hobby store....took me about 10-15 mins to paint....has now dried 24 hrs...seems ok to handling...not sure how it will stand up to cleaning or shooting....sorry pics are a little blurry....lighting was kinda dim...didnt wanna use flash...
That looks fantastic. I've always been a fan of silver slides. I may have to look in to this. There's another guy, can't remember his screen name, that brushed off the black finish on his barrel. The result is a finely polished silver barrel and a black slide. I like it. Please post results as to how yours stands up to shooting, cleaning, etc.
That was either 1inthechamber or Rimfirehunter, I forget which, but I think it was 1;]That looks fantastic. I've always been a fan of silver slides. I may have to look in to this.

will update as soon as possible and thanx guys for all the positive comments....when i get my .45 i plan on painting it olive drab, with the black frame.....
That is really interesting. I prefer black myself, but I can see what you like about your pistols look
I agree with waltham, Looks nice and very nice job, I look forward to te olive drab however, I thiink that will stand out nicley.
I do like that two tone look. I may try something like that. I wonder if I could get a nickel finished paint then laquer it?
Does gun kote make a color lke that? It would take some prep but the finish would be pretty much bullet proof
finishes i'm not sure but i have found some flat metallic engine paint that i will eventually redo it with.... this was just to see if i liked the looks...and i really do like 2 tone pistols....
