Disruptor1664 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Morning guys, Just looking for some advice from you all. I used to own a Steyr Aug AEG which I painted olive drab for the paramilitary edition. Used a plastic primer and paint (both Krylon) and it did a good job, was durable but did begin to fade on the high contact parts eventually. .. Now here's my situation. I am after painting the grips on my Beretta 92FS (instead of paying £80 for the walnut grips(mental price). Can anyone offer advice or experience ? The gun is essentially a show piece so will not be put under arduous use but the paint needs to be durable. Should I just bite the bullet and depart my £80 or is painting an option. I have put some pics below to show the cross hatching pattern on the grips which could causean issue with high-spotting on the paint. Thanks in advance guys, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robyorks Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I could dip them in walnut. Or any other hydrographic film of your choice. Finished with 2k clearcoat so VERY durable. Just saying Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin proffrink Posted June 12, 2017 Root Admin Share Posted June 12, 2017 Grips shouldn't cost that much. Look here maybe: http://grips4u.net/ I got some for a TM M9 but I assume yours will be real-steel spec on the screw locations too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor1664 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Thanks for all your help guys. I gave that link a go but they are still coming up at the £70 mark for the ones that are in stock. Rob, you have my full attention- Are you a sales rep XD. Honestly though, do you have a election of different films you could use ? Walnut is lovely but if you can 'pimp my gun' - lets do it!
