Right now I still work all day, but I fart around on the internet when I'm on hold or in a Zoom meeting. Hope to spend a lot more time goofing around with projects like this when I'm 'tahred. Post up pics when you're done please. I'm still working on my two projects, but it's been too cool and damp to spray them out in the shop. Might have to wait until the wife is at church and do it in the house. Not rich.... LOL!!! Comfortable would be the word. Doing final taping right now.

They said they didn’t recommend it. This type aint ceramic based. Their caliper paint is. Which I have used on the trigger guard, bottom metal floor plate, and bolt knob and handle on my mauser. The caliper paint holds up really well. 3 yrs ago and 0 chips or flaking yet Holds up to chemicals also. Fixing to spray in a couple minutes!! See how it goes... Last edited by renegade50; 01/26/21.

Then bring it inside to heat gun. Let it sit 24 hrs. Then cook it tommorow. Gonna have ta own the results. If it comes out schitty... Im sure the Toms wont mind this spring and I can redo it this summer. Last edited by renegade50; 01/26/21.

Hit it 3 times with the heat gun over the period of an hour. Kinda surprised at the results. Cant see it in this pic but it came out like a rippled wave skin like appearance. Let it sit for 24 maybe 48 hours. Then cook it at 200 for an hour per instructions. Should tighten up the pattern more and fully cure it.

Espeically after looking at a bunch of vids and seeing how others patterns came out. Basically all on the users application of it Thickness, time between coats, distance and direction of spraying. All comes into to play it seems how it crinkles. Leave it black Or throw on green, brown, and some tan camo pattern. Either way gonna need 2x clear matte sprayed over it.

Choose the colors you want, get a tub, fill it with warm water, spray the surface of the water with the colors and immerse the parts you want painted. Swirl the water to get open water and pull them out. It looks pretty cool and is easy to do. Just a thought.
