New Rifle Project

This is what I am thinking, powder coat the receiver, barrel band and sights green bay green, then powder coat the barrel, magazine tube, trigger, firing assembly and lever assembly yellow.

Consider Lauer Custom Weaponry's Firearms' Duracoat instead. It's actually more heat and abrasion-resistant than powder coat, and far less prone to chipping or c racking. It's become my finish of choice in preference to either the old British military *Suncorite* or H&K's proprietary finish on their MP5 and HK33 SMGs and rifles. And, yep, they've got the GBT colours you need.

This project has all the makings of a "hold my beer and watch this" news story. Let's review the findings:

Midwestern male

Reasonable amount of handymandedness

Interesting project to take on over the miserable winter

A man, alone in his workshop for hours on end

Yeah yeah, I know its green, gold, and blue, but gold paint looks like poo.

Actually a Pacific Northwest Male just for the the record.

From ehow.com:

According to the Packers website, the official team colors are dark green, gold and white. Many professional colorists refer to the Pantone color system to match colors appropriately. To be more specific, the corresponding Pantone Matching System (PMS) numbers for the Green Bay Packer team colors are 5535-C (dark green) and 1235-C (gold).

No, Rhodesian *babypoo* paint on a FAL looks like poo. It's supposed to.

Thanks for the clarification. I’ll keep an eye on the Seattle PI for your story :-)
