A peace sign on a gun...hmmmm

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Reminds me of Pvt. Joker in Full Metal Jacket. :D

Can't wait to see your finished Halli Dan. :tu

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

:r



I still have to decide if I'm gonna do it, but if I did I was thinking either black or blue... like, this color:

Of course, leaving the locks and stuff silver. May have to do the handle too.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Well... the case was painted but came out a baby blue (Geoffrie called it infantry blue or something, I forget). I'm gonna email Duracoat and see what happened. I'll post a couple pics once I snap em.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

UN blue?
Sweet...

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Yeah, actually. Not what I was going for... hahah

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton

Here's a couple pics. First pic is next to one that is the color this one was and the other picture is with the silver and matte black one:

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

I can see why you're disappointed Dan, but the Matte Black one looks bad as hell :banger
Was that done using the same product?

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Looking good Dan!! :tu

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

No... the matte black one actually came that way. It was a big hit at the herf I was at this weekend as no one had ever seen matte black before.

I'm going to email Duracoat and ask what they recommend doing. I'll update the thread with results...

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Glad you had the black matte hali this weekend; though I'm sure the blue one would have elicited some comments. :)

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Dan, you gotta get that changed asap! The Carowhina Blue is absolutely hideous! :pu

Just tell them you want it Duke blue. :tu :D

The black matte is cool!

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Hahaha... nah, I bet they'll do something to make it right. That light blue just isn't what I was looking for.

In retrospect, I shoulda gotten hunter green and white to make a JETS hali!

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Here's the response:

I asked them how they looked similar in any way and asked if they could point me to the one that looks the way OSHA is advertised to look (I did so politely, I think... hahaha). I also included this picture



Updates to follow...

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Dan, where did the AR-15 "OSHA" blue artists image come from? Is that from Duracoat?

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

What I was thinking. That site might have gotten it wrong instead of duracoat. I think it is the case cause I don't recall osha blue being what I would call dark blue like on that ar15. Anyways I don't think its all so bad. At least you have a Halli. :D


Thats just balla no matter what color.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Dan? Do you have THREE Zeros??

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

I like the blue one!

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

That is what I was wondering!

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Yes, it is from their site.

I plead the 5th.

Hahaha... seriously, though, I had one and bought 3 more because I found a guy here locally who was selling them for a great price. 1 was sold immediately, the other was supposed to be sold, but that didn't pan out so it's going to another brother (also for what I paid for it, no profit). The matte black one I'm keeping and the painted one (once it comes out to something close to what I want) I'm keeping as well.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Good news, Dan! Looks like the Halli will be ready on time! Wanna see a pic of where it's at?

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Hell yeah!!!

(PS - if Alise stenciled a smurf on it, I'm gonna be PISSED) :r:r:r

Dan will the Cookie Monster Hali be part of the auction sat? ;)

Well done Adam! :D

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Thanks a lot, Adam. I'm away from the computer ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE HALLI and you beat me to the punch line I SET UP.

I forgive you.

Smartasses...

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

I think she's kinda hot with a cigar.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

:lr:lr:lr

sorry...

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Actually, tonight I took the automotive clear coat off with a liquid stripper and cleaned her up with steel wool. As expected, chemical stripper doesn't touch Duracoat. The steel wool had the additional benefit of cleaning up some of the imperfections in the finish caused by too much pressure on the airbrush.

Yesterday I installed a regulator on the compressor so the airbrush can be run at the propper psi. I'm feeling good about this.

Stay tuned. First blue coat tonight.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Above: after two coats of the new blue.

Next: maybe three maybe four coats of Duracoat gloss.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Oh, yeah, the handle has been painted the same color as requested.

My new airbrush rocks. I'm very pleased with the results.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

HOLY S#IT! That is not only super bad ass, but is the EXACT color I was hoping it would be!!!

:noon:noon:noon

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Radioactive blue!

I like it! :tu

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Those are some nice cases above.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

Two coats of gloss coat applied.

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

This thing is bad ass...! I'll post a couple pics of it shortly. :D Now all I have to do is find the inserts for it...

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

those cases are sick cant wait to see it done...wonder how that would hold up on a cigar caddy, like if you customized a 15 ct, just for the fun of it...

Re: Customizing a Zero Halliburton
 

That duracoat stuff sticks to everything... the handle of mine was also painted (it's plastic) and it is the same color... looks great! :D
