RED!!!!!

[Spiffy]

Playing with the idea of getting a Red comp tac holster and mag pouches for my G35 and spray paint my base plates red. Would this be a fashion do or don't. I know it's not "tactical" but I like kittens so I try not to kill them with "real Life".

 

 

 

Editted to add pics!!

 

This is the 1st test of painting Blade Tech stuff. I think it turned out pretty good and I got the holster drying from 1st shot as we speak. I did my base plates too so I hope it has a good cure before the 3rd.

Sounds good to me. But then the slide and mags for my 9mm are Burnt Bronze and the same for my .45 are blue.

I think DJ has a red holster.

I've seen a few people lately with either red, blue or green holsters.

And here I was thinking you were calling me out. :rofl:

Paint on firearms is not my thing, but color matching might just help show what

goes with what.

Just the base plates because people say you can't buy the factory glock part in red.

How's this for color?

At least Perkins can't say my idea of RED is ghey! LOL

 

 

I kinda dig the purple.

MOPAR color, no good.

D.J. does have a Red Holster.

The Red holster does not help D.J. shoot better.

D.J. would have liked an International Orange holster. (possibly a hawaiian print holster)

The consensous is that the Orange would have helped with a rescue call after a poor stage......

 

The neighborhood was gone before D.J. arrived... :P

I don't care much for purple, but that looks sweet.

Awwww c'mon I know I was giving you a hard time earlier, but if that's what floats your boat go for it.

I'd like to get a setup in Cardinal and Gray, Oak Ridge colors.

That's what I was looking at but the International. I got the "pro" pack for my USP back before I knew anything.

I'm waiting for Tye Dye then i'll be all over it

That would make hippies cry!!!   I'd bet there is a hyrdo dip for that.

[itchytriggerfinger]

Spiffy, what paint did you use?  Have you put it through any scratch/wear tests?

[Spiffy]

Valspar from Lowes. And no testing on wear and tear yet. I haven't got the final coats on it yet and I'm thinking I might hit it with some clear coat.  I know the base plates will get marred up but if I just hit it with the rattle can every 5 months it's ok.

 

I'll have more pics up when I get it all together.

Pics yet Brother?

[Spiffy]

The flash on the iPhone makes it look lighter but you can see the red on the base plate.

 

 

[El Guapo]

That's a cute pink holster you got there.

I knew that was coming... :pleased:

 

 

It looks good Bro...ignore the taunts...they're just out of jealousy.LOL.

 

Did you clear coat it yet?

[Spiffy]

Yup sprayed it down last night and it let cure all night and half of today. You can tell where the screws turned on it but I think it will hold me over till I get around to ordering my Comp Tac set.

Ryan, leave the man alone.  It takes real guts to take a stand to save 2nd base.  We are all fond of the tatas.
