... do want

My picture doesn't really help that much... this one may be a bit better:

I think that's 92 sticks...

DBall · 10-03-2010, 08:11 PM

any thoughts on Duracoat? My buddy (tikihut27) has painted guns with it... Says it is applied by airbrush and is pretty tough stuff..

Have you ever watched American Chopper? You are only a few hours away from Nubs and Justin. Like the show or not, they did some pretty sick paint jobs.

DBall · 10-03-2010, 09:38 PM

I'm looking to get it done for a reasonable price. I know that 'reasonable' is a subjective term, but under $100. That duracoat stuff is inexpensive and apparently made to bond to stuff like brushed aluminum and make a nice, hard coat.

I can see why you're disappointed Dan, but the Matte Black one looks bad as hell

Was that done using the same product?

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...

Stogeyfish · 04-19-2011, 09:56 AM

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

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

Here's the response:

Quote:

Greetings,
We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the OSHA Blue color. From your photo, this color appears to be correct. This is the OSHA Blue color as OSHA has identified it. Since this is apparently not the color you hoped for, we will send you a replacement in the color of your choice. We do offer 10 paper color samples per year at no charge if you would like to actually see the colors prior to making your choice since print and online images tend to not be the best representations of color. We recommend choosing a couple of our blues that appear close to what you are looking for and then requesting samples of those colors. Once you decide on a color, we will send the replacement at no cost to you. Most of our colors come in a Matte sheen. If you are looking for a high gloss, you will need to top coat with DuraCoat Gloss Clear.

Best Regards.

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...

Looking good Dan!!

NCRadioMan · 04-19-2011, 10:04 AM

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

Just tell them you want it Duke blue.

The black matte is cool!

T.G · 04-19-2011, 12:16 PM

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

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.

Thats just balla no matter what color.

massphatness · 04-19-2011, 12:31 PM

Dan? Do you have THREE Zeros??

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.

Mugen910 · 04-19-2011, 12:47 PM

I like the blue one!

Tikihut27 · 05-31-2011, 05:45 PM

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