Very nice, red band stay on all the time, except in storage? I like the T-shirt!

I am a little proud on T-shirt design. I did it by myself. |

Re: Gladiator Spartacus 120 Invert roller
Beautiful gun!
BTW a few question (if you don't mind sharing some secrets of the trade).... Airbrushed paint? Which product are you using to coat the gun? Two component PU or Epoxy top coat? And how do you achieve that satin finish? Steel wool rub once it is cured? Thanks! Mikel |

Very nice gun. Another option for me to make my decision more difficult.

Re: Gladiator Spartacus 120 Invert roller
I've got a question. Are you just using that orange loop to pull back, or are you also hooking that on to your shark fin? I just noticed the knot in the middle of your gray wishbone and wasn't sure if that would interfere with hooking onto your shark fin.

That orange loop is replaceable and used for hooking also.

Re: Gladiator Spartacus 120 Invert roller
I was looking again at the pictures and I cannot tell if the CF looking areas is actually CF or just water transfered. I can't seem to find any seams or transitions between the "suposedly" CF skinned areas and the naked wood.
If it is a trade secret... no need to tell me! Regarding the matt finish... is that automotive or marine PU matt clear coat? I have never used PU clear coat, only epoxy top coats (glassy finish). Doesn't look thick at all... epoxy builds up much thicker no matter what (need to be carefull with the track depth not to overcoat it, otherwise it ruins the track-mech alingment. Mikel |

Under clear coat are 3 layers of epoxy resin. Track is once adjusted and tape protected all the time until clear coat is applied. Last edited by gspearguns; 11-26-2020 at 01:08 PM. |
