Custom KSC Glock 18c
Ive just finished applying some custom touches to my KSC glock today. Its been a work in progress over the past few days and my fingers are killing due to all the sanding and polishing. I done this by using various high grade sand papers for an hour a piece and then polished to a shine using a dry cloth and steel wool. If you have the patience you can just use a dry cloth and polish the barrel once the paint is off for hours on end to get a perfect mirror shine. To add a protective coating to prevent any oxidization I simply used a thin layer of car wax (not colour protector as this may make the finish dark). Id like to get some feedback on this so tell me what you think. Just PM me with any comments or tips as this is my first attempt at a custom finish.
 This is the compression block during final stages of polishing.   The barrel during sanding.  the barrel after the final polish down.   The slide grips during paint removal. I originally wasnt going to add these but I thought if I did it would keep the two tone scheme symetrical.   The gun once reassembled.  I added a small touch to the ejection port.   I also added some chrome boarders to the magazines and brought out the glock logo by simply sanding the paint away

Nah. Waiting on a second M4 Body. Gonna do some painting on that though.
I did paint a cheap clearsoft shotty to test out some stencils. And luckily got some good advice from the people here as to what I did wrong. Great community! |

Heres a few angles of my trades that ive just finished engraving. They were originally quite dull and fading so i carved out the ink and softend the look of them with a little steel wool so they now reflect light. And they sit around 1.5 millimeters into the slide and they look much better.

Wow, this is the first time I've heard of someone engraving trades on their gun. Great job. I assume you used some kind of computer-controlled engraving machine?

No computer. Just an extremely thin phillips screwdriver set ( the interchangable socket head sets) and an allen key,or hex key if your american. The smallest size you can get. Along with a steady hand and patience. It was a little pain staking but just look at the result.
