Luke's ESB DL-44 Blaster

[jason1976]

Well I've asked these questions, about these blaster before, but since it was always in one thread, I never really got a clear answer (or any answer in some cases) , so I'm braking them up into more then one thread this time.

Ok, I know the gun itself is not supposed to be black, but rather have a "blacked" or "Blued" look. (kind of a real dark gray) Does anyone have any suggestions on what paint/technique, to use for this.

Also, and this is my big question. ARE THE ADD ONS (SCOPE MOUNT, GREABLIES, ETC.) SUPOSTED TO BE PAINTED BLACK, OR ARE THEY THE SAME COLLOR AS THE GUN? (That dark gray color) I'm not asking how to paint them, this is purely about the color. I've never been able to tell, and since I want to get these done in the next month, or so, I really need to know.

Thanks
Jason

The gun is a real Mauser - original blued finish.
The mount is fabricated from aluminum and painted.
The V8 parts were black to begin with - no extra paint.

By "painted" on the scope mount, you meen Black? Sorry, I just want to get this right.

Yes black, but it's pretty close to the gun finish.
