I take mine to my work and sand blast them with aluminum oxide at about 40 psi. Do you know anyone with a sand blasting unit?

I have heard of some people using talcum powder to simulate the thermal coating. Paint the weapon as you normally would. Then while the paint is still wet sprinkle the talcum powder on the paint. Let it set for about 5 -10 min shake the excess off and repaint.

I guess you could sprinkle the powder on wet primer then paint thus only needing to paint it once.

Hope this helps

i read somehwere about flat coating it and then putting baby powder in it while it’s still wet and then immeidately removing the excess, but that siounds a bit iffy to me…

Thanks for the tips. I kinda wondered if putting flocking or something in the paint might do the trick, sounds like that might be the right idea then.
