Wow, that looks fantastic. Saw on ECF someone said the green ones really glow well, the others not so much.
That looks awesome bud.
I want to make my door silver. Tell me, do I need to sand it down first? Then spray a primer and then the silver. Is that right?

The spare door was sprayed with that textured paint. Think it was Rust-o-leum judging by how easy it came off with acetone. Good paint nonetheless. My mailbox if camoglaged and hasn't lost a drop of color in 3 years
I didn'tsand at all. Just don't polish it. The other door I stripped this morning and it needed some rubbing to get the paint off. Might have been original paint. If you want to rough it up a little, I'd say sue 600 or 800 grit wet-and-dry. Will post a pic of what I used for this yesterday. Did it in between making some Tuna Mate and a shower
Real easy. Think it will be much faster if the temperatures would rise a bit.
I would sand it down and just polish it. Would look better than silver paint I think.
Used in order of appearance from left to right 
2 coats primer
2 coats green
1 coat crackle
2 coats clear
Also get a matt and glossy clear, so the look will change depending on which one you use.
For a mirror finish, get this from Midas
For more of a matt finish polish, try using 800 grit wet-and-dry or something like that. Or have it sandblasted for a brushed look

In case anyone was wondering about the name of my Reo......
It was named for the green, and after a buddy that passed away too soon, these were our favorite movies as children

Looks like a Derringer.
It's a Derringer with a brass top cap. Bought the 5 top cap edition from @Sir Vape specifically to use them on my BF model
Wish I knew where that drip tip came from. Came with the Reo when I bought it from @Philip Dunkley
Thanks guys.
But saw mine again in the sun, with the hammertone grey coming through in the light. It is rather pretty, so maybe I should leave it.

You've hit a homer.
