captsafe66[Admin] Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I just finished this last night. I replaced the front allen screws, rebuilt the sight, made the cocking lever functional and put lenses in the scope. My progress pics didn't turn out though... What do you think??

Geaux Saints[TK] Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Fantastic! Curious, what is the paint scheme for the E-11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captsafe66[Admin] Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 I prime it with plastic primer, give the body of the blaster a good coat of silver, and the scope was undercoated in gold. This one, I gave it a coat of hammered black and finally coated the entire blaster with flat black. After it cured a day, I scuffed it good with scotch brite pads and scratched it with and exacto knife. Also, for a better showing of the undercoats, I masked off areas and lightly dusted with gold and silver again. I let that flash a bit and unmasked the entire blaster, then dusted the whole thing again with flat black. Next day, I lightly scuffed the blaster with scotch brite again. I also highlighted the lettering on the scope with white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
