Gunsmithing New Paint

[wnroscoe]

Here's some new paint I did for one of our service men on his 5R. The only parts I didnt paint were the internal trigger parts, trigger housing and bolt stop.

KG Gun Kote 2400 Series
Flat OD, Flat Black, Satin Red & Satin White.

Re: New Paint

That is some nice detail work for sure.

Would like to have you do that to mine..lol

Is this a coating like cerakote or durakote that you used?

Re: New Paint

Really, really nice..
I do like how you took all the time in the detail.

What would a project like that cost a fellow if he just had to have it done?

Re: New Paint

One color, all metal $250.00
Second Color $50.00
Inlaying the type with different colors $50.00

You have to bake the rifle twice when inlaying the type. The disassembly and re-assembly takes a little bit.

Typical Roscoe detail.
I couldn't be happier with the .223 you built for me.

Paint and bake base color per manufacturers directions. After innitial painting has cured and cooled paint the lettering with your desired color and let air dry, 30-45 seconds. Put MEK on a tightly wound shop towel and lightly wipe off excess paint being careful not to press down and remove paint from lettering. You'll have to change to a clean spot on the towel a couple of times until all unwanted excess paint is removed. Go slow, and use a light hand. Re-bake to cure new paint.
