Chris Keen Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Just got home from Tuesday night league at Sim-Trainer and finnaly scratched that little "itch" that has been buggin' me for about a month now. I slapped a little paint on the old "Glockenstein" and figured now I have to rename her something more like "GlockenHalen" Whatdaya all think ??? Ill get more pics later, when I'm done Later P.S. New pics have arrived ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 LOL...I started to clean my Open Glock up for some paint work too. Weird timing. BTW...nice brass marker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Glock24shooter, if you like that kind of paint scheme you need a nice blade to go along with that. Check out the Dalton series of knives. They use similar patterns for the scales (handles) on many of their knives. Check out their big ass assasin: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/km4yk/redass1.jpg The battledragon is also a sweetheart: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/km4yk/bdred.jpg Hope that the links work.

Weird timing.BTW...nice brass marker. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yea but your Open Glock is just a kid, call me when it grows up into a .40 JK. Thanks Flex. The brass marker is homemade, but the idea is really Nolan Smyth's. And thanks for the .40 rounds Sunday. They were all Alphas, but I had a couple of brain farts shooting Limited for the first time (where's my BIG stick !) But it sure was fun Didnt know I could hit steel at 20 yards with iron sights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 So does anybody know if I should try and use some sort of "clear coat" spray to keep the paint from scratching off, or peeling/fading/getting dirty ??? I used Permanant Artists Acrylic to paint with, and I scrubbed the gun down pretty good beforehand with a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol. Hmmmmmmmm............. I will try and let it dry at least 24-48 hours before handling it, but it's Soooooo hard! I'm just a big kid when it comes to new toys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisgahrifle Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Being acrylic I'd definitely use either a flat or semi-gloss clear coat, otherwise you'll lose most of that "PollockGlock" finish from regular handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlockSpeed31 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Glock24Shooter, Who did the work on your 24? The barrel & comp I am referring to. Thanks, GlockSpeed31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 I have done all my own work. The barrel & comp are both from KKM, and are drop-in parts. I had a friend of mine drill the ports in the barrel. Nothing on this gun has ever required me to "send it out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingerjg Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Is that sort of paint scheme legal in Production? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It probly would be ok in production. If USPSA said it was ok to change the finish on your gun, i.e. change from black to hardchrome, it would be fine to change the look of the grip.
