My recently refinished 995

WOW nice looking carbine. Welcome!

 

Pics didnt work for me?????

 

nice job, actually the powder coating looks better then the factory crap-o-rific finish (TM).

btw how does that paint hold up? i wanted to dye my c9 deep purple but i've found out it's impossible to pull off starting from black, so now im thinking a paint however in the past my exp with paint on plastic has not been good.. usually scratching off fairly easy.

 

Now they are working for me. Looks Great!!!

 

NICE ! That is the best looking factory stock ever ! Let us know how the Krylon paint holds up, I am seriously thinking of painting mine once the weather gets warmer up here. BTW...The powdercoated reciever and shroud look amazing compared to the factory finish... nice job.

 

Sharp blaster you got there! Good work

 

Fantastic job on the 995, I must say it is a lot better than the factory look and finish!

 

Wow man that looks amazing! That's a piece to be proud of!

 

Welcome.

Very nice!
That is one of the best self done stippled grips I have seen.
Details on the process and equipment YOU used would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

 

I used it on my plastic scooter parts and outdoor plastic lawn furniture, and it has held up well.

Krylon Fusion Plastic Paint
The first no-sand, no prep, superbond spray paint for plastic! It creates a professional finish that won't chip, peel, or fade.

 

Big Red, you may want to mention that powder coating is not something to do in your house oven. When you "cook" the powder it releasses toxic fumes, mainly isocyanate. That when inhaled, it will give you a condition called Glyco-Toxemia. It's a very fancy way of saying "blood-poisoning" (wich are no good at all).

Other than that, I think you did a great job.

 

Could we see a closer up picture of the handle? Krylon Fusion is FTW. I use that stuff on my Xboxes, they've had stuff dropped on em and been hauled all over the place without ever getting a scratch.

 

Looks good.

 

Now, the question is will Krylon Fusion take just as well on the Poly frame of the HP pistols?? I've used it a ton on props and airsoft guns with great effect, but I'm just curious on the material and abuse that a pistol endures. I ask because I'm considering a MAJOR build for the .40 since the firing pin is busted and it needs to be torn apart anyways.

 

cool thanks for the tip i'll pick up some of that paint next time im at the store, i wanna shoot my c9 before i start painting and sanding stuff..

i wanna get the slide either mirror polished or nickel plated and the frame painted deep purple, the grips probably off white or maybe grey, i dont think the purple frame will look right with a black slide so i'll hold off till can get it polished or plated. does anyone know a cheap place to get nickel plating done?

btw that powder coating looks really excellent, i can't believe you got such good results doing it your self looks very professional.

 

Ok, I just had look up what stippling was ! LOL. You sir, have the patience of a saint ! At first I thought it was simply a technique of applying a graphite finish. But you're telling me that every little dimple and sparkle was made by dotting your stock with a soldering iron ? Wow, my hat is off to you. Great job.

 

Ok if i use that krylon on the ATI stock, can it be heated in the oven at low temps? Or does it need to be?

I am getting the modified top rail back this week and need to finish the stock and get it together. I also need to order those parts from bushman that i told him i would. This week , I promise!
