JDeko 792 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Pretty cool paint-job you did there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffian72 548 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks, JDeko, Cerakote, Working on low temp process to due Mepro sight. 1st Multicam, didn't due a clear coat, since has tendency to have a glare. Decided to due this since this has been my work weapon for quite a few years and finish was getting a bit beaten. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Low temp process? Does that mean heatgun everything except the sight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Nice job Ruffian. It looks great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffian72 548 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 GunFun, Yes, Most of the durable coatings require heat process to provide good bonding. Sights, especially with built in light source require a lower temp. A paint could and would work, yet chose to use the low temp bake process. Product has a different molecular structure. Be way to costly to do in large amounts. Something I've gotten into. Keeps my mind busy during down time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JESS1344 508 Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 RUFFIAN, HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT FORE GRIP? THANKS, JESS1344 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffian72 548 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Jess, it's become my grip of choice. Always used none at all or standard, may makes styles, fold to non fold. Thought the angle was ??. After trying, it is best for me. Different makers, yet I like the Mako. Every person's hands are different, it just fits mine best. Angle allows longer shooting without discomfort, due to past wrist/hand injuries. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
