Go over the trades with a sock. It will get rid of the extra crayon on the sides.

I don't know I really like the silver frame. Needs to be shinier, though. Go get one of those specialty paints with metal flakes in it. Then get some new grips.

Thought I'd throw up my custom WE 1911 job [img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v320/[749]PFC_Cowboy/DSCI0219.jpg"]

Next step is to paint the grips white, but that's how it looks right now, here's what I've done: Sanded the slide catch, hammer, safety, and trigger. I like the two tone style it gives it, makes it look a little more fierce than otherwise.

Do the outer barrel too.
Your new project Mosin? Going to make it Black and white?

Black and White would look badass. I dont like the "silver'. If your going to give it a silver tone make it chrome or atleast do a metalic silver as people suggested in the previous posts to other "silver" sidearms. But the dull "Crayola Crayon" Gray needs to go.

That's wierd, the outer barrel actually is chrome, goofy how it came out like that.
But yeah, I'm going to paint the slide and the lower half a dark non-shine black, and the grips and other pieces white. Should look pretty good when done.

If you do that I am naming your 1911 "The Preacher", or "God's Hand" or something cheesy like that.

Reaper57 But yeah, I'll take a couple pictures when it's completely done, I was thinking of getting a custom engraving job on the slide that said "In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" on the side in white lettering, on a black slide, with white trigger, hammer, slide catch, and safety, and maybe a gold front? just something that pops a little. It's sorta my project badass pistol that I'm going to make of it.
