Can the grip modules be painted? Login/Join

I have the original grip modules from my two P250sc's. Can these be painted or coated successfully? I thought of turning one pink and one purple to swap onto the 9mm when my daughter goes shooting with me.

I doubt you'd want to paint it. However, Cerakote appears to work well. Have several friends with P320's Cerakoted. Also seen several posts here with happy P320 Cerakote shooters. Grip frame module same as the P250.

The good news is that if the grip frame module has to be sent out, it's not considered a firearm. Inexpensive shipping.

I was able to dye a similar frame for an SAR CZ clone, but it was pink and I dyed it black. Going lighter likely would not work.

I used alumahyde paint sold by Brownells (spelling may be off) for my FS. Seems to holding up well since 2014.

KRYLON has aerosol paint specifically for plastic. I've considered it but I like the black frames.


Beware of a man whose only pistol is a 1911, he's probably very good with it.

I have an FDE and a black medium grip size with the rail modules for my guns, the original modules will likely never be used again, so I will get artistic with them.

How about hydo dipping?

I have used this paint on plastic holsters and stocks with pretty good results. It’s not indestructible, but it holds up reasonably well.

That's basically a decal. Neat process though. An object is immersed into a tank with the desired graphic floating on top of the water. The graphic attaches to the object. It may not be tough enough to withstand regular holstering without abrasion removing the graphic. The biggest advantage is only your imagination limits choices of graphic.

Rustoleum Paint for Plastic sticks pretty darn well. I've used it on rifle stocks with good results.
