SMSgt,

Thank you for the detailed response. The surface of th slide already has that matt surface of an aluminum oxide blast. I think the surface will be fine. I hae plenty of experience with an airbrush as I have been a model builder for decades . I had heard about not degreasing a second time from another source. I will just use compressed air before I paint.

Do you mask off the underside of the slide? I plan to remove the safety lever and firing pin but leave the extractor on.
