What color black are you guys using on the grenade launcher and barrel vents? I tried krylon matte black and it seemed too grey. Satin black seemed to shiny. Suggestions? |

Did you buff the satin with either a rubbing cloth or superfine grit sandpaper? Charlie |

Hi there , when I did my snow wolf I gave it a couple of coats of non metallic silver and then a coat of satin black primer . when these had thoroughly dried I took some superfine 0000 steel wool and very gently rubbed the high spots , areas where it would get worn in combat, loading gate and the edges of the vent slots to highlight them . When iI was happy whith the finish I gave the whole thing a good buffing with a soft cloth , this worked well and it left the filled in vent slots where the shotgun is visible the real steel ones a different shade to the cage. what pulsey are you working on? |

If you have actual metal bits, try some gun blue fluid/gel. A dinky little bottle of fluid or tub of gel should be enough. |

Haha, it was late enough when i posted i didnt't catch the alternate meaning. oops. That plan so far is to spray everything silver, then satin black, weather it and then ill give a soft cloth a try and see if it will tone it down. Thanks fellas! |

The black over silver works really well , go steady with your rubbing back (no pun intended) but if you get too much silver showing just mist some black over the offending area and rub again . would post some pics of mine but don't know how to get them from my photos on computer to here , not very technosavvy I beat metal for a living so the ins and outs of posting pics confuses me! |

Got her painted up. Still have to weather her. The satin actually looks alot better once it was all back together. Old G&P kit on top, Matrix on bottom.
