Hey guys its the Rev again... I was wondering if some of you could post or explain something to me. I was wanting to turn my glock to a 2 tone ... silver upper and lower staying the same. I originally wanted to get the ivory glock but its hard to come by. So with that being said I would like to ask anyone if they have any clue on what the best way to do that. Thanks

I've got reflective duct tape . . .
Seriously, is your upper metal or plastic? That will affect your options.

Metal

You could remove the paint then polish the crap out of it.

Yes, this important. The slide can't shine until you remove all the fecal matter from it. Continue polishing until it's shiny.

The way I've done mine is by taking and spraying paint remover all over the slide, inside and out, with the components removed. You'll see the paint start to bubble and you can just wipe it off with steel wool. After that, take take a lower grit sandpaper and remove the remaining amount of paint. That'll leave the surface scratchy so then you take a high grit (1000+) to shine it up and smooth it out.

A polished turd is still a turd. :D

No offense to the Glock! I just wanted to continue with the poop jokes.
