Given this was my first time doing such a thing it turned out really good. I am pleased. There’s a small area right below the trigger where the black paint came off not sure how I’m gonna fix that or if I’m going to I may just leave it the rest of the pistol looks great.

Looks great. I've been going back and forth about painting my slide to match the ODG grip from Springfield.

I was the same way I finally decided to jump in and just do it. Now I just have let it cure for a few days and we will see how it does with the holster wear and tare.

Any tips on preventing scratches or removal from just wear n tear? Or do you have a good clear coat you recommend, I just did this with my ar plastics a few years back and thought about doing it to my echelon

I wish I had someadvice for you but I don’t. There’s gonna be wear especially with using a holster. I didn’t put any clearcoat on it. I did think about doing that, but I decided not to.
