I like those, the face looks freaky. I use orange paint as well.

The front sight of my pistol is orange.

When I painted the plates orange, I was losing sight of the pistol's orange front sight.

I understand that. Did you cut a stencil for the face?

Yes.

The stencil is from a photo of a bad guy.

But it loses a bit in translation, and I think the painted face plate comes out looking like Marlon Brando.

Cool plates MrLucky! Might as well add a little fun to the game.
At my age, there IS nothing better than shooting.
