Customizing a Zero Halliburton

DBall · 10-03-2010, 08:38 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.

Wow... everything I've read about duracoat sounds like it'd be the perfect solution! all ya need to do is scotchbrite the aluminum a bit and it's good... plus, it's apparently super-hard and would be very difficult to chip.

Crazy thing is, the paint and hardener is only around $20.

I'm gonna play with some pictures and see what color I'd like best. Blue would be unique, but black is always an awesome choice.

Decisions, decisions...

Of course, leaving the locks and stuff silver. May have to do the handle too.

Well... the case was painted but came out a baby blue (Geoffrie called it infantry blue or something, I forget). I'm gonna email Duracoat and see what happened. I'll post a couple pics once I snap em.

Reminds me of Pvt. Joker in Full Metal Jacket.

Can't wait to see your finished Halli Dan.
