Monster Dog - Cerakoted Tungsten, LR Black Icons, w/ Oakley Ruby Prizm Lenses

[VTHokie]

I finished up another pair! I recently acquired a Monster Dog that was polished black and had some scratched up aftermarket lenses. I Cerakoted the frame Tungsten (H-237) and coated the icons with LR Black (LR-100). I had aftermarket lenses that looked like Ruby from the outside, but I really liked how these turned out and can see myself wearing them often so I wanted some nicer lenses to look through. Enter @Chris A Hardaway who quickly set me up with some Ruby Prizms for this old dog! I’m really liking them now!

BRAVO!!

Looks fantastic...gotta love Cerakote. I'm still not quite up to pulling out my long unused airbrush. I did pick up some Cerakote air cure OD and Coyote...still a LONG way away from trying their heat cured.

I have a pair of Tortise Monster Dogs I was gonna use for a custom some day...too many other frames in the line before 'em. A Plate, three Jawbones-Racing Jackets, a New Straight Jacket 2, and two Turbines...so many frames and so little time!

Seriously...you gotta try Steel-It! Just sayin'

Thank you. Cerakote has been good for me in my little garage shop. I got in to doing it after paying three different people to coat some slides I had milled. I’d send them away and they’d come back the wrong color! So finally had enough and decided to figure it out for myself. I just use a large toaster oven for now, but am building my own oven that will have an interior space of about 5.5’x3’x3’ for some bigger projects, but for now I use their air cure series for bigger things. Just a much better color selection with their H series!

Sounds like you have some nice project pairs on your list! I hope to acquire a Plate one day. I’ve always been in to Oakley but really only started to build my collection over the past two years.

I got my first couple in the 90s. Got a couple X-Metals shortly after that then promptly took 20 or so years off…till last year. Found this place and BAM! Down the rabbit hole
