Didn't even bother to clean it. Took my work home with me, had to hook up my old compressor (it wasn't even wired up or connected to any of the piping) and didn't get started spraying till 8pm.

98Z5V Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Daaaaaaaamn! WHen you posted those finished pics, it as truly straight outta the oven! <lmao> It's nice to pull those outta the oven, let them cool, and go straight to assembly. I love bake-on Cerakote. :banana: I NEED to get off my ass and do my Patriot Brown rifle. I'll break that bastard down tomorrow and blast it at work on Friday or Saturday. Maybe I can get to paintin' and bakin' on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm in, fire it off. If you can pull off Snow White, you can paint any color. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 A man has to know his limitations. I think that I've proven lately that my limitations are only to painting "trek desk's". And they're accouterments (good nickel word huh?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Nothing to prove. I've painted my share of cars and car parts. Wasn't aimed at you, brother, in no way... My intent in that posting was = you mess up white, dust in it, bugs, whatever, and it's GONNA show. You pull off the Cerakote white, and any other color is easy. I'll leave a bug in my Patriot Brown... Adds flavor... <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight it was wife+kids messing up my chi while I was loading the patriot brown parts into oven..... had to redo again.

But, I would have baked that little fucker right into it! <lmao> Knock the parts that are sticking out right off, after it cools! <dontknow> If I paint one of Ron's rifles, it'll show back up with a stamp in the underside... <hump> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Done. Not sure why the handguard came out semi-gloss even though it was the same batch of cerakote. Perhaps I put down too much. Guess I have to redo it. Edited August 28, 2014 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 How much hardener? What ratio, brother? Dawn's white, I went in between 24:1 for flat, and 18:1 for satin. Mixed right in between for that one. My PB is going on at no more than 24:1, so that thing stays flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I should have mine done on Sunday - 24:1. Going onto the MI T-12 rail - should come out like yours, all things being the same. I'll get pics up here Sunday night of how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shibiwan Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yeah, it came out semi-gloss even though the paint used was from the same mixed batch. I have to make them match since it's for a customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Stripping it back down isn't going to be any fun. Back in the blaster... Damn, brother. I'll have to look at Dawn Marie's rifle again - her handguard might be a little more shiny than the upper and lower... Now you've got me thinking...

I think I just went a little heavier on the coat on the rails so ended up different. It's stripped now anyways so back to spraying and baking later this evening.

98Z5V Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 aluminum oxide, 120. That's what my blast bin is loaded with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 FYI fuckers, my MaTen is going to be patriot brown and fde, done locally. As soon as it's engraved, after the stamp comes. Will not disclose any other info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shibiwan Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Whatever's in my blast bin. Which happens to be old #80 ground silica. It wears down over time and is probably around #100 or #120 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
