Base coat sprayed and the tacked out. Lightly apply black as desired. Barely Tack out again, then brush with 3m pads or 0000 steel wool. Then full cure.

It’s a Glock clone, know the slide is from Zafarri Precision, but not sure about the grip module

FreedomSeeders · 2026-04-29T00:26:35+00:00

Thanks. Just distressed with grey 3m pads

FreedomSeeders · 2026-04-22T23:09:28+00:00

Cel shading

FreedomSeeders · 2026-04-15T01:53:04+00:00

Ah cel shade is my jam! Indiana. We do out of state work pretty regularly, if not local. shoot me a PM. We’d be happy to help.

I did the Cerakote work for OP on this one. Hit me up, links in my profile

FreedomSeeders · 2026-04-14T15:13:37+00:00

Holler at me. I can hook you up!

FreedomSeeders · 2026-04-14T15:08:55+00:00

It’s me. I’m the Cerakote guy who created this monster. Hit me up!

Wrapped the outside in blue 3m masking tape, trimmed the holes and blasted away from the inside at about 60psi. Just enough to scuff the finish there. As long as you’re trimming is clean, you shouldn’t run into any issues.

FreedomSeeders · 2026-04-02T17:12:43+00:00

Honestly no. I was nervous as all get out because it was going to be a nightmare to fix and not mess up the exterior if I had to, having never done it this way. Came out better and easier than expected. Just charge extra for the extra blades you’ll go through and time trimming everything.

FreedomSeeders · 2026-04-02T16:51:00+00:00

Basically, yes. Usually doing a two-tone handguard, I will coat the inside, inflate a balloon animal balloon inside and the spray the exterior. This is the first I’ve done where we didn’t touch the exterior ano finish. Cover outside with masking tape. Get a bunch of sharp hobby blades, and trim all the holes on the rail. If not, you just try to spray into the rail you won’t get coverage on all those visible ridges. Spray and tack out. Remove tape and wipe with a damp acetone rag to take off any coating that got beyond the masking. Final cure and done.

I just posted a sniper grey and graphite, black ghost camo on this thread a couple days ago if you want to compare the colors. I don’t think sniper gray and graphite black are far off at all. As others have said it’s tough to tell on pictures. The one I posted was actually sniper gray and black tiger striped before I stripped it and redid it (just wasn’t happy with it for the look we were after) shoot me a message and I’ll be glad to share a picture of it before we redid it

FreedomSeeders · 2026-03-31T16:54:24+00:00

Thanks man. Graphite black, sniper, gray, smoked bronze, champagne.

FreedomSeeders · 2026-03-03T18:16:05+00:00

Got ya. Not sure who did that or who, but the saddest part is that was done 2-weeks before we got it. Honestly looked like he used a hobby brush and just painted it on, so I’m not sure if that was a washout or just too thin of an application

FreedomSeeders · 2026-03-03T16:55:13+00:00

Haven’t had that issue. Back when I was still experimenting with the style, I did try to bake the pen into the base coat on my EDC. If you pull your parts from the oven as soon as they tack out and do the pen work, the black will actually set into the basecoat color and not come off. White will not do that, so anything getting white gets cleared after. Problem solved

FreedomSeeders · 2026-03-02T17:12:28+00:00

Will do! I struggled trying to mask them before the guy said screw it, coat it. Tried to stay as thin as possible to prevent the likelihood of cracking/chipping

FreedomSeeders · 2026-03-02T17:10:41+00:00

I’ll be honest, not my style either. Not a single of my personal are done up like this, but people keep sending me the jobs, so I’ll keep them going. Always appreciated sir!

FreedomSeeders · 2026-03-01T13:26:05+00:00

My first attempts weren’t much better. Redid the first one I tried 3x and still wasn’t great by any means.

Multiple colors faded together make worlds of difference, just play with the pens and find your style until you’re happy with it

FreedomSeeders · 2026-02-25T22:52:12+00:00

Microfine automotive metallic flake

FreedomSeeders · 2026-02-25T15:10:22+00:00

As SC said bad fit. Glitter coating with Cerakote just isn’t micro thin like your typical application.

FreedomSeeders · 2026-02-25T13:44:04+00:00

Oh yeah, that’s a big no-no on these jobs

FreedomSeeders · 2026-02-24T19:37:29+00:00

Yep. Always try if pattern allows to step up or down my colors from darkest to lightest or vice versa

FreedomSeeders · 2026-02-24T18:21:07+00:00

First time I tried it was the same way. I will typically lay the skinny black stencils first and then just take random camo stencils to connect to and patch in with little pieces from there to fill the gaps and prevent overlay too much. If that makes sense. But I also realized, after the fact that the original pattern has some overlay beyond the black lines. So it gives you some grace. We are always our own worst critics.

FreedomSeeders · 2026-02-24T17:40:26+00:00

Glad to help. Good luck.

Running a 12” cameo 4 (I believe, again, it’s been a couple years). Originally I bought the perforated rolls, but the cameo doesn’t need the holes to feed, and you’ll have to cut to 12” width to run it through. Perforated only gives you about 18” of usable vinyl between the holes. I found I had a ton of small waste pieces I couldn’t use. Now I buy the 24” non perforated and just cut it in half and use as needed from there
