Custom painted Race Gun grips

[MoreToasties]

I realize that these are available pre-done, but I wanted to do it myself.

Can anyone either link me to a tutorial on how to do it, or better yet, guide me through it?

I'm looking to do white background, black swirls.

Thanks guys,

Okay, you can get professional painted grips for an expensive price for $115USD.

Basically, I do not know what paint to use cause all the paints I've used will scratch off near the trigger guard because of the holster.

I believe you have to use latex?


You can use 2-3 colours.


Here's an example of doing the grip for the picture you posted with black and white.

You first need a hot glue gun.

You mask off the custom lines you want off the grip, and then take a spray paint and spray it from the bottom magwell. Spraying too much will make the grip all white. The effect you need is the fade. After that you can peel off the hot glue gun strips. To custom make the white lines, you need a fine brush, dip into a paintcan and let it drip onto your grip. Spread out.

Example to paint it orange like that.
You can either mask off the grip with hot glue gun, and then spray orange, then use the fine brush with paintcan drips. Or you can paint it all orange, and use the paintcan fine brush drip method for black and white.

Do different colours.

I find it easier not to use the hot glue gun because the glue is thick and all. Use the fine brush drip paint method for the line colours.
