No problem. just let me know which measurements you require and I'll get them off to you. (it will have to wait until tomorrow though)

Cheers guys. For those asking, here is my method for creating the gun metal paint job. After masking the grips, I gave it two coats of mid grey primer. I used Hycote Grey Plastic Primer, but I’m not sure about the availability of this spray paint outside of the UK.

Next I painted the whole thing with black fast drying oil paint (I used Winsor & Newton Griffin Alkyd Fast Drying Oil Colour) then wiped as much of it off as possible with a soft cloth. You will begin to see the gun metal effect at this point, and it also creates nice dark tones in the recessed areas that you can’t reach.
The final step is to rub graphite powder into the surface with a soft cloth. This is where it really takes on a gun metal effect. You can buy graphite powder, but I prefer to go for the home-made method of scraping the lead off a pencil with a scalpel. You can vary the intensity of the shiny metallic effect on selected areas by adding more graphite powder and buffing it more thoroughly. (on edges, screws etc)
And that’s about it.
For the darker areas, I used Hycote Extreme Heat Black spray paint, and simply polished the surface with a soft cloth to achieve the desired level of shine.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
