Mat Price Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Just got my slide machined and I can't send it off to hard chrome for a while. I have used krylon paints on bunches of rifles I am thinking of spraying the slide with some krylon. since it comes off so easy nothing but a soak in acetone over night. what yall think.

donnyglock Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Ive been shooting my open gun in the white for a couple of months. I just wipe it down with a little oil and no rust. Last year I went the whole season on my other gun in the white with no problems either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hello: You can get some Heavy Silicon spray from Walmart and that will stop any rust if you apply it regularly. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Whether you can shoot it "in the white" for a while depends on the definition of "in the white". S_I guns come with some sort of coating on them that prevents rust to a certain extent. If you machine on them (cutting serrations, lightening, etc.), you cut through that and get it "raw" steel. That stuff will rust with quickness. I have painted a gun before. I sent a new single-stack Super off to the bluer before the Nationals in 89. I was promised that it would be back with time to spare. I kept calling the guy and getting the "I'm gonna fire up the tanks tomorrow". Finally, two days before I had to leave, I went to his shop and picked up my still-white gun. Painted it black with Krylon and survived the match. Eventually, it got blued.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Price Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Yeah Braxton I had the front cocking serrations removed before the slide cuts where put on. Then we cut the top for poppe holes and ball milled a nice channel. The other thing is I live on the beach in waveland ms. Dude Everything rusts here with the quickness cause of the high salt content in the air. Yeah I think it's going to get a coat today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie j Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Spray it and call it Krylonite and people will beat your down down to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Spray it and call it Krylonite and people will beat your down down to get it done. It'd probably be about as durable in a Kydex hoster as some of the other "gun coatings" out there.... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hello: If you are going to spray paint it look at the engine paints that you have warm up some. They are a little more durable. You could also try engine header paint also. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braxton1 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 As long as it's ZOMBIE GREEN... My vote for July's color is for Flat Dark Earth. That way, you can have a "tactical" Open gun and be the envy of all the Tacti-Billys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve L Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I just did the same thing, my limited gun rusts quick because of where I live, and haven't had time to get it refinished this season. So I decided to go the krylon route just for now. I also put a clear coat on it to give it a little extra durability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Price Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 That's what I do steve I put a heavy clear on it after. Its cheap works well and takes about 20 min to do and you can change it anytime u want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve L Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thats for sure, I also use a heat gun to warm it up to take the paint a little better, then heat it again to dry leaving it streak free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
