Yeah, the gating issues combined with degassing or lack there of.
Is that onyx?

Gorgeous! So glad to see this project moving again.Funny that you should just ask. I was just in the process of posting this update!
It’s been waaay too long since I’ve posted any progress on anything. All sorts of things got in the way of my more fun projects. Anyway, I have finally made some more progress on the Jakob’s smasher. The parts are all assembled and partially painted. Here is a shot of the grip with it’s red and blue marbling over pearl white. This will all soon be covered with a transparent coat of pearl blue. Today I will be working on painting tests before the final coats.

What do you clearcoat your metallics with? A satin finish I assume?The new paint arrived and I was able to airbrush in the metallic areas on the Jakobs Smasher. This is Alclad copper with Alclad brass highlights. Once that was clear coated, I added brown and reddish tarnish as seen on the Borderlands screen shots of this gun. I really like the Alclad metallics, they airbrush on very smoothly, and go on in thin layers that can be either built up slowly and evenly, or used as subtile highlights. The blue/black areas of this gun all have subtile Alclad chrome highlights that make the surface look like slightly worn blued steel. I wish I could afford to have on hand all of the different Alclad metallics.
