Mamba color scheme?

Legion · 07-07-2008, 05:36 AM

Ok guys im getting closer and closer to releasing the first 10 (mamba b's)
I have been thinking about what color scheme i should do...so i though i would put a poll up.

I have listed the colors i am able to currently do and i am leaning towards a two tone red black thing but vote and lets hear your ideas.

Is it named after the snake? Do a color scheme that matches the snake.

I voted for gloss black.

Wait... I think I am on the list for one of these.

I will need to gather some coinage, assuming I like the end result.

From WIKI: The black mamba receives its name from the black coloration inside of its mouth, rather than their skin color which is a gray to olive tone.

So, I'd recomend going with a grey to black fade, where the tip of the barrel looks the blackest.

That would be kind of neat, although I am not entirely sure about matching the gun to the snake... seems kind of corny. However, that is not saying it would not look awesome!

I think a very dark gloss grey would look awesome as well.

Just curious, what kind of grip frame will the mamba use?

if it were something like .45 frames you could order some tanned mamba skin, take blank .45 panels, sand them a bit, coat them with some adhesive, then stretch the mamba skin tightly over the panels, let the adhesive dry and with a razor slice the panels out. Then do the rest of the marker in gloss black, and... presto very scary snakey gun.

(stay tuned for a step by step, 'how to' for these grips by the end of July.)

I opted for choice of person Buying,You can make a Gun a set price and then tack on Anno Fee..I myself would go Gloss Olive

I suggest steering clear of dust. Dust annodizing just scratches too easily and looks cheap.
