    I OWN A BODY SHOP AND HAVE JUST GOT INTO GUNS IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS. I HAVE NOW BROUGHT THEM BOTH TOGETHER, I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON PAINTING GUNS WITH DURA COAT AND COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THERE PRODUCT. EVEN THOUGH THE GUN IS PINK THE FINISH LOOKS JUDT AS GOOD AS MY KIMBER COLLECTION. I WILL BE DOING A 1911 TONIGHT IN JUST BLACK BUT THE GUN LOOKS LIKE ITS BEEN RAN OVER WITH A SEMI TRUCK NOW. NEXT WEEK IM GOING TO TRY A SHOT GUN THEN IT WILL BE ON TO GRAFFIX. I DO A LOT OF CUSTOM PAINTING AND HAVE HAD A FEW CARS AND BIKES IN MAGS. SO IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS SOME IDEAS TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. JUST WANTING TO SEE IF THERES A MARKET FOR CUSTOM PAINTED GUNS OR ANY INTREST AT ALL? AND CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO POST A PIC OF IT HERE? GOOD PAINTER TERRIBLE COMPUTER GUY!:):

    I'm not much help with the picture posting as it gives me issues too but I'm looking forward to seeing your work.

    Have you tried uploading the pics to an "album" in your "UserCP"?

    Then all you have to do is copy and paste their link which is below the picture into the button above where you type that says "Insert Image". It looks like a mountain with a moon.

    Well, in trying to get this thread back on topic :P The gun looks pretty good, is it just me or does the S&W logo on the grip look like it didn't take the color in the grooves... I think it just looks a little black on the logo.

    I would be interested to see how the other guns you do come out. Like someone else said, there is a market, but there are already people out there who do it. Keep it up and you could def get some work out of it.

    It was painted pink because it is for a female i painted a beat up 1911 that my brothernlaw built from scratch tonight it turned out really nice i media blasted it and repaired some of the deep dings in the slide it will be dry tomorrow morning next I'm doing a beat up shot gun and a AR. Thank you for every ones input and the help with posting the pic. I've got a couple shot gun stocks that we are going to try and do some pin up girl murals on it just playn around but seriously if u want ur face or a loved ones face on your shot gun stock i can make it look like a realistic photograph. I'm leading up to a shot gun that was my grandfathers when he was a boy that was passed to me and it will take me some time but the stock will be a in memory of. With him on it, just playn haven fun guns are new to me and so far I'm loving it. Well again thanks to all and I'll post some more pics tomorrow
