Re: Phantom Finishing Pics and Reviews
they both look sharp; in the future try to take pictures like you did in the 2nd, with the rifle against the natural backdrop - it really makes the difference... I am sure #1 is just as good of a job as #2, but #2 just pops w/ the natural background.

Here's the same rifle in pic 1 in sunlight. I didn't put it up because of the bad shadow.

Paint jobs look great. I have been wanting to paint my rifle but just can't seem to get myself to do it, a little nervous I think.

Been wanting to paint mine, but not so good at the camo thing. Very nice job on yours. Kinda thinking of doing the film dip instead of paint. Have lots of toys to practice on.

Re: Phantom Finishing Pics and Reviews
Those looks GREAT!
And to know its Cerakote makes it even kooler.
I think my buddy won a certificate of some sort from your company. Looking forward to seeing him have something done.

I have to say the multi colored 100mph tape was my favorite touch.
One of the biggest ironies about me is that even though I am a finisher, I really appreciate the look of a well used firearm.

When you do a job with an optic, do you use the air cure on the entire project or do the colors match close enough that you can use air cure on the optic and heat cure on the rest?

There are a couple different ways that I go about doing it. The air cure matches very well. It depends on the colors that I use and what it is that is being coated.

Your working too hard what I was hoping for is an 18" AJ Brown built 5.56 SPR with original Nikon Gen Two Mildot Tactical on it. Kinda like the one you have of mine.
LOL

I figured that I would show you a picture of one similar to keep you satisfied while you patiently wait for me to finish yours.

Re: Phantom Finishing Pics and Reviews
WAIT I am TOO Old for this. I would have heart attack if it came back pink.
I will stay quiet in my corner.
Your work is far worth every minute of waiting, which really is not long anyway.
I have George going to build my Badger 2008 Action and it will be sent to you for paint.
