This is what I got out the box, WE 1911 with Caspian trademarks:



This is the exact same gun after i repainted the slide, changed the grips, and polished some parts to a chrome-like shine :




Lost the trademarks, but like the look a lot better now.

Material used for the painting :
600 wet-dry sandpaper to prep the surface (sanded to the raw metal)
Tremclad Antirust paint,mid gray, Mat finish (5x)
Tremclad mat clearcoat (2x)

Material used for polishing:

600 wet-dry sandpaper
Dremel tool with a buffer pin
PEEK polishing cream and an old t-shirt to finish the job by hand.
