Makita Teal Blue Color Values

Pantone  321 C
RGB  0 140 149

Flat or satin lacquer should do the job.
 
There's a guy on e-bay selling Makita white die cut vinyl decals.

@Downtownv and @TOMMY R I use the brothers p touch label maker hooked to my laptop. I’m going to get 1” glow n dark tape to put behind the labels.

Speaking of glow in dark, anyone tried the spray paint? I was considering using it on the inside of the lids.

Why not use led lights and a battery. Maybe wire an alarm. Or manufacture a locking device on each. :facepalm:

I mark mine with a white paint marker.... if I ever need to change it I can easily get it off there... never had too much luck with labels.. when I would transport the labels would get jacked up..

Ya. Camo.

you can get stencils by the millions on eBay or amazon... one color down..then stencils.. next color down.. then stencils.. third color down.. etc.. wait till dry and carefully peel off stencil.. 

I didn't care too much about it being pretty.. I just wanted to break up the shape of the gun so I used various thickness string.

I was thinking the hammer metal stuff. But spraying it is too noisy.

    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
