: Thnaks for the thoughts Bill. Let me follow up with some more...

: If I test a small section of the gun, and the new paint does not react badly to the old, am I okay to paint over it and skip the stripping step? I want some black in the new design so I thought I woudl just leave the black parts black from the original paint. Is this a shortcut I will regret in the future or is it okay if the paint settles okay?

: wes.


Yep. Just take the grip off, and test on the painted metal underneath it. You'll probably still want to lightly sand (like with a mild scotch brite, or steel wool) that paint so it's a little roughed up to bond well with the new paint.

See you on the field,
