Need help!, wife wants a purple 15-22

[Argonnakid]

She likes to shoot my 15 alot, but now she wants one of her own. But the catch is, she wants it to be a vivid purple. I have done camo jobs before, but don't know where to start to get the shade of purple that she wants. And any married man knows not to upset the better half.

Just go to WalMart and get some of the right shade of Krylon in Purple.
If they do not have her shade there go to Home Depot, etc...

Better take her with you.
Then just tape up any part of the gun you do not want to be purple.

You can also have it powder coated in any color you want

If there's a saying that is true... Happy Wife = Happy Life, and vice versa

Well Argonna, sounds like a tall order, but with a little research & help from the forum, I'm sure you will come up with something. Would luv to see pics. of it when it is finished.

One possible option would be a hydrographic. I believe it is a water dip applied color. Another option is here - DuraCoat Standard Colors - FIRST Page. I have used duracoat on paintball guns and other items. It is a very durable finish and easy to apply. Main thing to really pay attention to is the prep of the firearm. If not prepped properly, the finish will no adhere correctly. You can get any of the colors with this - http://www.houtsenterprises.net/dur_shakenspray.html

Sounds like you need to spend a lot of money in the WalMart fingernail polish dept.....

best bet is what NE450No2 said, krylon and lots of it. ive seen a LSU paint job and the guy used a hell of alot of kylon to get it done.

The receivers were anodized purple from the start, so that wont help you, but he did match the furniture and rails to it. I think it ended up looking pretty cool.

Hydro dipping is your best bet.
