After my PF 45 fiasco, found some time to finish my SC project. Unfortunately, it turned out kinda fugly. Not sure what I was thinking, and not sure if I want to go back to the drawing board LOL.
Ya I don’t think anything’s off besides the color meshing, just go with fewer colors and you should be fine…. That trigger would look boss on ti.blu frame though!
Awesome. Getting close to doing Rit Dye on my 45 build (grey frame, using Navy dye and want to two tone it with black grips). Anyone find good waterproof tape that will hold up to the due process for the 2 tone area? Can you polish the frame after dying or will it mess it up? Just a few questions for the next show.
Is that a grey frame? Interesting. Well, rather than ho back to the drawing board, how about getting a paint job on the slide and mag extension and doing a stipple job on the frame? Which color is that on the Hybrid shoe? You can even paint that to match the slide and mag extension if you're not happy with the color. I'd be willing to do the paint job if you buy the cerakote paint.
Yeah, gray frame with a tungsten slide. They actually match better than the pictures show. The trigger is an RP Hybrid Ranger in teal/copper. The theme was supposed to be "blue steel" (a tribute to Zoolander), and my notes indicate possible paint, blue controls, pins, rmr cover, etc. Considered etching blue steel on the slide, but papa don't know how to etch and don't want to learn on a fresh piece. Some work left on this one.
I don’t think it looks bad tbh, the bright pop of color with the trigger doesn’t really mesh with the rest of the gray and black look though. I would either snag a black and gray trigger or add some more pops of similar colors to the mag release, slide release and pins etc.
I'm so disgusted with the looks of this thing that it's going to become my sacrifice to learning how to stipple, dye, paint, and etch. I even hate the freakin' trigger (although it works great). Yeah. That's the ticket.

Yuppers. Going to add more blue and get rid of the copper trigger safety. I'll do that after testing I think.
