Photoshop help needed

[ITSADOJ]

Help!
I have a Ruger .22 pistol that I had painted several yrs back. The body was done in a bluish tint and has worn a bit in spots. I'm considering changing the color to a bright red; I bet it'll really be pimped out then! (Polished stainless upper, black grips, red body...tacky yet tastless!)
I can shoot a photo to ya as needed by PM or email.

Post up a pic buddy.

Will this be sufficient to work with? I can email a higher density shot if needed...




I'd like the body changed to bright red (not burgundy or crimson!) with grips left black and the stainless untouched.
Thanks for your time.

Here you go...I LIKE IT! Personally I think the darker looks good, but I am a big fan of crimson...

Beautimous!!! Excellent work, and fast as well. Thanks a million.
It actually looks less pimpish than I thought it would; thanks again!

Solid work Dave. That looks bad ass, maybe do the sights red to tie it in and for extra bling

I already have a red fiber optic for the front, I am leaning toward painting the flutes to match the body red.

(Gee, since red makes a car go faster, would red make a gun shoot better?)

that's got like an anodized look to it ... looks nice

Looks awesome! Good work Dave

The result of red Cerakote paint on the .22. Definitely has a certain pimp element to it, eh? Hoping to add real wood grips onto the frame in the near future...

Looks great! I thought you were keeping the grips black?

[ITSADOJ]

Black grips was only for the Photoshop exercise.

[ramthis9501]

Very nice!

Finally got the Ruger .22 project with paint and new grips completed. The wood is olivewood, and the gunsmiths milled the polymer frame flat, installed bushings, and the grips can thus be removed for cleaning.
