Metal Body Question

[Pip]

Don't mean to thread jack but i've yet to find a blank metal body, has anyone seen one out there? I've got some ideas for some custom trades etc...

While there aren't any "blanks" per se, there are bodies with "flat" (non-engraved) markings. Most of these are painted on, or masked out (so the marking is actual bare unpainted metal). You can easily sand these off and repaint the receiver flat black (krylon flat black epoxy finish was a perfect match for a touch up on a G&P receiver).

Or since you're getting engraving done, get it engraved first and then paint.

If you aren't getting the CNC engraving option, the ones Huang is selling is painted I think.

The white trades body is not painted. It is also laser engraved, just a shallow engraving trades.

Hrm. Someone would still be able to sand it off and paint it over, if they wanted a "blank" though, right?

ok, how many blank ones needed? I will get some in. Just takes time and money.
