And you do realize, that with that being normal Krylon paint, as soon as you start cleaning that gun with any kind of solvent like Hoppe's #9 or brake cleaner, that paint is going to start coming off immediately? Krylon is NOT Durakote!!

Do you realize I spent 20 mins on it?

I don't expect it to last a lifetime nor do I want it to. I don't really care about the paint job, after the first time at the range paint was coming off, which I expected. My holster takes paint off the slide. To me, it's a beater gun and the paint job fits the name. It's a Glock...

I thought Krylon was Spanish for Durakote... damn. :cry:

This invisible Glock is the best looking Glock I have never seen. :?

I guess you should have asked the forum their opinion before you did this. Let this be a lesson for you.

I like it. Lots of guys paint their ar15s to emphasize that it's a working gun and not a safe queen. Glocks are definitely not safe queens.

If you couldn't already tell, most in not all people on this forum are high drag, low speed, heavy hitting, hardcore been there done that types with the T-shirts to prove it. Its going to take more than a coat of Krylon to fool theses guys.
