HOW TO: Paint Handguards - Another Option

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

I was having a hard time finding any latex of rubber coating paints, I thought I would give this a try, it is a screen painting paint. Only needed to put on three thin coats and then you can heat lock the paint in a low temp oven 110 to 130 deg cent for 5-8 min. Seems to be quite strong and flexible I have trooped 6 times with them and no cracking as yet.

Here's a pic of the paint

Here they are painted and heat fixed in the oven.

the latex method I use works without the heat.

yet I'm sure this will work very very well, and cheaper than my suggestion.

 

stramge? I don't see anyone else posting in here?

Thanks you two for posting on painting hand guards! Was wondering about how to do that.  Will probably try the print screen paint method first.

I just scored a jar of white screen print paint (Speedball brand) at Michael's craft store. 8 bucks but I had a 50% off coupon so only $4!!!   This stuff is awesome!  I'm using them on Karin's awesome handguards. Goes on thick, so only a little is needed.  Three coats and it's in the oven for a bit.  No cracks, super flexible, awesome white, this jar will paint a hundred pairs.  Nice tip!!!
