    Default More Photoshop help! Trying to envision a Cerakote finish.

    I am leaving my original post but my ideas have changed. I got my grips today and really was not thrilled with how the colors on it looked so I returned them and going an entirely different direction with my Cerakote finish. I was hoping somebody else could try these combos with these grips. GLD has been very helpful with this so far and the system will not let me leave him any more rep for now. Please rep GLD for me if you get a chance.

    1. Brown frame, black slide. Black beaver tail, safety, and trigger. Brown barrel.

    2. Black frame, brown slide. Brown beaver tail, safety, and trigger. Black barrel.

    Anyway here are the grips I am now going with. There is also a link to a page with all the cerakote colors. I was thinking either nut brown or federal brown. Thanks again in advance!

    Going out for a while now, but I have enough experience to do this, I'll see what I can do when I get home unless someone else has done it by then.
    Everyone should have an AK-47

    Not exactly what you asked, but I figured you might like it. Love the two tone look.


    "X is what percentage of Y?" Divide the first number by the second, multiply the answer by 100. Add a percent sign. Think.

    I like that very much. I am just trying to figure out if an entirely white slide will be too much.

    I was on another site researching the same thing and came across a pix of one with a white slide. I changed my mind when I saw an actual gun done up white. I forget the site. Do a search for white cerakote. We all have different taste. I think my RIA looks sharp but a lot of guys hate it. Good luck

    Am I crazy or does the white slide look sweet? I want something a bit flashy but I also don't want people who see me OC to think I am a fruit loop!
