Blued Kmg

Thought it would look good and slow down the rusting. Took it completly apart and sanded everything! Lots of work. Used Casey=Birchwood cold blueing.

 

[Daniel Koster]

dang...what a smart idea.

Please let us know how it holds up.

Mine rusted before I got to use it....

 

[Bailey Knives]

I may take your idea and copy it for my kmg. the whole rusting thing is a little disconcerting

 

[S.Shepherd]

Odd, I haven't had a problem with rust on mine, but I do un a dehumidifyer in my shop..
Dammit, now people are tricking out their grinders with paint jobs and **** You guys are nuts!

I was thinking of a racing stripe and 5 layers of clearcoat for mine...

Seriously, nice job. I'd like to see some better pics, without the glare, so I can get the full effect.
The pic just looks like a very slight blue tint. I know it looks better in person..
What say eh?

 

[Robert Hankins]

Hammerite spray paint

 

[Bruce Bump]

That looks good, I think you should have done some engraving and maybe some gold wire inlays first.

 

[S.Shepherd]

I was thinking penstripes...or maybe some spinners on the adjusting knobs

Don't paint them up too nice, or when you go to fit them together you'll have to get out the razior blades and start scraping away! I learned that on American Chopper. Somehow they don't seem to remember that something that fits nice pre-powder coat won't fit real nice post-powder coat!

That looks nice that way. I was going to suggest beadblasting it and then coating it, but that would probably give rust a REALLY fun place to hang out. What about just wiping it doown really good with Tuf-Cloth?

Here ya go Razorhunter. Its a little dusty already from shaping a handle.

air brush it with gun coat camo-ed with with rrrr well that should do it
you'll still have to keep that baby oiled up but it does look nice..
