Lol dude that ain’t happening  PSA CAN pull it off if they dont it's on purpose. If any of you weird gun freaks ever come to SC visit a PSA site and you will understand why I say if its not perfect they did it on purpose

To me it seems as though they a getting short on time to send them out(if they are doing that) and get feedback and fix anything before they mass produce the clones to sell. *would this be a legitimate concern?

Even if they do manage to screw the M4A1 up it still will be the best of the rest and who will really pass it up? ie. spaceforce

I'm realy curious what serial number the SNEK manufacturing is up to now. It's got to be over 5k. As far as the SNEK lower I agree with you. Based on how fast they sell out., they have to be above 5K. It wouldn't surprise me if it was over 10K. |

I have a question for the folks using Testor paints for color-fill.
Is there an off-black available that best matches the anodizing blackish/ grey of the PSA lowers? Or should I just mix a drop or two of white in and mix to blend? I was thinking about overfilling or level filling the "TM" on my Snek lower in a black. Sort of eliminating them as a result. Thoughts? |

Or should I just mix a drop or two of white in and mix to blend? Not sure there's a right answer, though. Anodizing comes out slightly different colors every damn time. If it was an exact science, then you wouldnt end up with an all black gun from PSA but the handguard, upper, lower, and buffer tube all are different shades of black. Sometimes its blue. Sometimes purple, usually gray. Sometimes even pastel black. None more black. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnpB3_Oknmw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds7FRivVMgA |

I'm sure you could mix a color, but there may be a color out there already that's pretty close. Check here for some colors they have in enamel paints. You will probably find a closer match in acrylic paints under the "Black" header (I'm thinking Tamiya or Ammo of MIG might have some good matches as well), but I'm not sure how the acrylic's would hold up.

Thank you for the info, one of the other members was correct, anodized parts are different shades. I am gonna pick up some of the testers stuff from your link, I did not know they made a top line enamel in a flat base. After curing, flat enamels will hold a bit of the same oil as the anodized parts after cleaning and lubing. I have a feeling the flat gun metal and a touch of flat black will blend completely.
