Hi all

I have gotten a lot of questions and inquiries for this, so instead of explaining it over and over, We put together this video to show how to create a cool textured snake like finish for the MET ramps. Matches great with PinGraffix snake mod.

http://www.pingraffix.com/product-page/7671314d-c8bc-cb2d-e653-d79addd1eefd

A few things to note...I took both ramps off and sanded them down first with some emery cloth, then sprayed them with a good coating of primer. Then base coat of dark green. This is where the video begins.

Anyways here it is... if you happen to mess up or just don't like how it came out..just sand them back down again and spray them black. Good as new.

Enjoy

Cool, but wont the paint chip because of the metal ball?

Actually... I had over three hundred games and only noticed one small chip.. It's pretty durable but yes you may see a chip here or there . Not a huge deal .. To me at least .

I colored the screw on the top of the snake black with a black sharpie. Matches the snake way better IMO than the plain silver screw...

Same with the silver washer on the hammer...
