Had a couple huge orders come
in, so I was busy powdering all week.
Up top we see a 2289 upper done completely in OEM Wheel Sparkle Silver.
The gold brakes are just that... Gold Powder.
The 2240 and caps are Mirror Red.
The red brakes are Metallic Flake Red.
The black brake is Mirror Black (replaces Gloss Black).

COPPER VEIN |
Copper Vein is probably my
favorite powder to use. It looks great on gun parts and has a deep texture
which hides manufacturer defects well.

A buyer wanted the above three
pieces done in Copper Vein. They came out amazing!

earned. Sorry!

Trigger shoes get powdered

As you can see, the white, yellow and red are pretty wild!

A customer wanted a "Silver

Poor photographs, unfortunately, that don't show the spectacular results that
were this rifle!
The "Silver Streak" in the
above photos shows blue removal with bare, waxed steel.
The "Powder Streak" below
shows an entire gun outfitted in "Silver Base" powder.
