Care to walk us through your process? Might be a nice project for a used Norc.

She's a beauty. I've also been thinking of doing something similar in OD green. Was it hard to apply?

You have to have a good air brush. I sandblasted every part and then degrease with Acetone. Once applied it's takes 24hrs to cure before you can do anything with it. If you leave the parts in a very warm room with a fan going it will speed up the curing process. I am not satisfied with the slide so I will be doing it over again.

With Duracoat the more hardener you mix with it the less flatter the finish. I will re do the slide for a flatter finish. I
