I'm not worried about doing it. I worked as a powder coater for 2 years, and learned how to wet paint there too. The best option for a smooth and tough finish on a polished surface is to clean it with a light solvent, rough it up with a bit of 240 or 400 grit sand paper, clean down with a solvent again, then pass over it in light layers, however I'm after a slightly imperfect finish, so I'll rough it up, then use one or two fairly heavy layers, and maybe pick out some details with highlights and wear. I was just worried about the legal aspect of it. Thank you for the heads up on the design flaw too, that's a useful thing to know about.

Nice one. Thank you guys for helping me out with that.

I'm wanting to put together a Falklands war era loadout, however the L9a1 sidearm is proving to be inconvenient to find. The only apparent option is the WE Browning Hi-power, however I've only been able to find this in a polished metal finish. I have got my UKARA license so buying it isn't an issue, but I don't know if it would be legal for me to repaint this pistol for use on the field. With most website advice only answering for 2 tone guns I'm still unsure of the legal answer. Is anyone able to give me a definitive answer?
