Reply With QuoteGood question! But if you didn't get the color EXACTLY right, it would look much worse than the contrasting black and silver, methinks.

I love a lot of slippery, soapy men's bums!
What can be done about that silly black band in the middle of a nickel S&W? Can the black metal mag be painted a nickelly colour?
no such words as alot or ect, and do you really want to add a second 'o' in 'lose', unless you're talking about something that isn't very tight?

Hi Nickpan
I remember a while back onhere - someone was selling a S & W with a 'stripped' mag think it was a Limited Steel one too ????
I've searched on all the obvious but can't find the original osting & I remember that the mag was the subject of some discussion.
Anyone else remember the post ??

Yep,
but I'm buggered if I can find it either...
I seem to remember there was a lot said about it being difficult getting it to match the pistol finish.
Don't bother, just paint the pistol black..

I've got a limited edition stainless model. I stripped my mags using caustic soda, then went over them with wire wool to give a 'brushed' look. The finish isn't identical to the pistol, but its much better than black.
I'll try and get a picture up tonight.

Yes I agree with the above post ,I also have stripped the mag very successfully with Costic Soda solution and prefer this to the black mag when used with a Nickle of Stainless finished gun

My laptop's been on the fritz all weekend so only just managed to put the photo up. Just click on 'my collection'. The photo doesn't really do it justice but you can get the general idea how it will look.

I airbrushed mine with a Silver two pack that I think originally was a Skoda colour - Gulp. Anyway it was a pretty close match.
Sorry I just checked and it was actually Hermatite silver engine paint
