Watchin paint dry...

Well got bored with the beater I got,a s30v blade n d2 foliage handle (very grateful to the seller at BF :) ) Now thought lets do something more intresting with handle, its no digi camo but I'm satisfied. Will let you guys know how the paint holds up in 2 weeks of edc, Sorry for poor quality , seems I keep spilling my cash on knives rather than a decent cam.

Its auto paint, it rubs of steel surfaces fairly easily but seems to stick fairly good to g-10. I'll update when I have edc'd it long enough too judge if its actually good enough too do with all the knife handles. Thinkin bout tiger stripe urban camo (dark grey on black g10) :rolleyes:

The paint held up better than I thought in these not full 2 weeks of edc, pocketing the knife in and out didn't do much ware,and I did a lot. :D Anyway here are some more low res pickys.

It looks cool to me ,)
If the paint is Lacquerer it should break in a little and stay on forever depending on how you prepped the surfaces ..
Enamel would be too shinny for the job unless it's Flat ..
Good call on this Mod, gives me some ideas :rolleyes:
