VaiFanatic90 360 Posted July 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Just a quick update: I've run into a bit of a snag finding that color I want. Those of you who are familiar with Fender Guitars should know of the Fender Deluxe Strat with the tortoise shell pickguard and it comes in a transparent sapphire. That's the kind of blue I'm looking for. I can't seem to find a polyurethane like that though. Anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greasegrenade 1 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I like a "red" on a WASR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaiFanatic90 360 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I like a "red" on a WASR Well, since blue is my favorite color, thought I'd give that a try. But I just can't seem to find the color I'm looking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaiFanatic90 360 Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Well, just had the color made at home depot. Gonna apply some tonight. Pics should be up tomorrow!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaiFanatic90 360 Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Here are the before and after pictures. Unfortunately, you can't seem much of the grain over the photo, but in person it really shows. It's actually very polished as well, not sure why it's appearing so dull. Took multiple photos but they're all that way! =[ But I'm more than happy with it. Edited July 22, 2010 by VaiFanatic90 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marrok857 51 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 The blue looks good, to me it seems alittle bright against the black. A midnight blue/ Darker blue would prolly blend just right IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A midnight blue/ Darker blue would prolly blend just right IMO. It's a deep ocean blue, the flash kinda made it brighter. If you look at it in person, it's like a dark sapphire, looks really nice against the black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marrok857 51 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Oh ok. Either way I dig it. When I get my Wasr with dragunov shoulder stock Iam planning on changing the color. Dont know what color yet, maybe Jet black or something Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaiFanatic90 360 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yeah, it looks pretty good, I love it. I'm thinking of doing my next one green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marrok857 51 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Like an OD green or forest? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaiFanatic90 360 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Tough call. Most likely more like a vibrant emerald green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
