How to spray damascus on a Glock 17

  1. 1. Strip it down

    Take the slide off the frame and pull the barrel and recoil spring. Paint the slide and the frame separately.

  2. 2. Degrease everything

    Wipe every outside surface with acetone or isopropyl alcohol. Paint will not hold over gun oil.

  3. 3. Mask what moves

    Tape the slide rails and the inside of the slide, the barrel hood, trigger and slide stop, and the magazine well so magazines still drop free.

  4. 4. Base coat in black

    Two light coats over the whole gun, 8 to 12 inches away, 10 minutes apart.

  5. 5. Smoke gray through a topo map stencil

    Lay a topo map stencil sheet on the gun and spray smoke gray through it.

  6. 6. White through a topo map stencil

    Lay a topo map stencil sheet on the gun and spray white through it.

  7. 7. Let it cure

    Handle it after an hour but give it a full day before it goes in a case, and a few days before hard use.
