P-rod rough frame

[josey88]

Some pics of the frame out of the Oven :



The frame was very rough by the front of the grips (first pic) and inside the trigger ring , on one spot there was a mountain(literally) of material ... I had to use the Dremel to get it out . You can see (second pic) that now,  it is smooth .

Well, this urethane is for wood . It is the most resistent thing I have ever seen ... all weather , outside and inside, really tough stuff,  and it is , since is made for exterior/interior  protection of wood , and wood contracts and expands , kind of flexible . I have done a couple of buttstocks  and they look just like the first day , although I am careful handling my guns and I care about their appearance . I do not trow my guns around . I also did  some mags . This thing is very , very tough . It is mostly an exterior all weather protective lacquer . I cannot attest if it would survive a drop from 6 feets up in the air (I think that the gun would not survive that , as well) but for the normal handling , with a normal care  , it works .
It will seal and protect the paint from the wear and tear from the use . It comes in 3 flavors : clear satin , semi-gloss and high gloss . I use clear satin and when dry , you cannot tell it has been coated with .
It would not curl up . I have sprayed the urethane 1 hour after painting a part and it is fine , but usually I wait until  the paint is completely dry ... 8 to 10 hours .

Ah yes we use this coating for wood tiles..I am also very meticulous w/ my wares I hate dings or scratches. When my 3 grips got done I tested the inside sections and got disappointed. Nice work btw. Best regards.

Mr. Josey thank you but Mrs. Crosshairs, Airgun100 and some other gents' pistols should take the cake..Mine is just a simple build..Best regards.

Yes, many of the builds here are truly works of art ... I just happen to like the contrast of crossliner`s pistol on Chrome / polish and simplicity . Those screws are most certainly  unique . The elegance of detail is fantastic ... there are more sophisticated builts here , of course ... I just love this one .

[crossliner]

Thank you sir..The screws are not standard I had my bud machinist do his thing. Best regards.

Update on the frame : Well, After all the work I didn`t like the way it came out . It looked just kind of thick , and , since I didn`t want to do the whole thing again , I stripped the frame again to metal and this time I sprayed it with the same type of engine paint 500 degrees resistent , but on Semi-gloss and no Urethane . After 4 hours drying and 20  minutes on the Oven , it ws done .  I re-assembled the trigger so I would not loose anything and I hanged it again . To be completely done it would need 3 or 4 days for the paint to cure .
This time I liked it ... it came out absolutely perfect , and it has a low gloss finish very nice .
Here are some pics :
