I painted the parts that need to be painted so I didn’t paint the parts that go internally so that is why some of them don’t seem to be completely finished if I do paint them they might not go back together correctly and/or smoothly.  I will wait till the end of the week before I put the flat clear coat on top (the directions for the paint say to wait 7 days but because of the way I am drying them im gona do it a little sooner).  I have to do the outer barrel still and paint some white paint on the sights for better visibility.  I will also blue locktit everything when I am done including the suppressor. Give me some feed back on what you guys can see now.

alright project almost complete all parts are painted and  I have painted the sights a little so they pop out a bit more than before.  The flat clear coat on it I just have to let dry probably another day or so to get the full protection out of it and then ill blue loctite everything and put it up for sail.
here are a few pics of what it looks like for not (the clear coat is dry enough to handle at this point)

That will sell faster than a car with nitrous? I like it Jesse. Almost makes me want to stop you from selling it.

Aaaand now you are making me want to buy another plain 1911 and start swapping out parts again. 1911's are my albatross, every time I start tinkering, I realize John Moses Browning and I have a love/hate relationship. That looks completely awesome,  it's almost what I was trying to do about six months ago before I traded for that Sig. I'm sure it will sell so fast you won't even know what to do with the cash. Very nice work, I wish I had your skills! ;D

thanks its not to hard just time consuming and the tapping off needs to be more or less precise depending on what your going for. thanks again for letting me know what you guys think!

project complete all assembled and working fine!!! I stripped off the paint on the orange tip so its metal colored and the paint on top of the outer barrel has worn  but i figured that would happen, but the hole fit and finish is awesome on it!!!
