How to spray tiger stripe on a Glock 19

  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 khaki

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

  5. 5. Lay the tiger stripe pattern

    Vietnam era brush strokes over a light base. Spray olive, then brown, then black, light to dark, letting each color flash off before the next.

  6. 6. 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.
