baldie Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Finished this A5 today. The customer wanted DPM. Its one of the guys who goes to CZ a lot to shoot in Dave,s comps. Seeing as DPM was designed for scandanavian forests, it should be effective for the chap. First one in this pattern for me, and i enjoyed doing it.

Alycidon Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Is that a sprayed finish or have you dipped it with a film ?. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 No, its Duracoat paint. I used their new dpm stencil, but there is also a lot of freehand airbrush work in there too. The colour blocks on a dpm pattern have dots on some of their edges.....this cant really be replicated with a stencil, but an airbrush does it nicely. It then spent the day in the oven at a low temp, to cure. I used to do a lot of custom mural work in my youth on scooters and motorbikes with the airbrush....this kind of thing is a lot simpler, but still great fun.

baldie Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 is it hardwearing dave ? or after some years wear off abit ? Any finish applied to a stock is gonna wear with time, be it varnish, or paint. The original paint on this mac is one coat of duracoat. I sand them down, prime, and then put up to 3 different colour full coats on, then highlights, such as the black bits and spots. Then 4 coats of laquer. Thats gonna last a fair bit longer than the original, plus its baked on in the oven. The metalwork gets the same baked on treatment, and its applied over a shotblasted finish. this ensures hard wear. Anyone not shotblasting the metalwork first, is not applying the paint properly, and the job wont last. Its good stuff when applied correctly.

baldie Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 The short answer is, i dont know Dave. We only do paintwork on rifle,s we actually build, and for 3 or 4 trade customers at the moment....but that could change shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
