There are no bad colors I don't guess?
I personally am not big an of Dura coat but love Cera- coat and the old Z-Coating ( picture included) this company is long gone out of business but will give you an idea of a 99 in camo!
Maybe not so tactical, but I hope tacticool, I'm waiting on a can of Cerakote "Burnt Bronze" right now. Bronze seems to be the new "color de jour" as the big names offer it now. ie: Ed Brown, Wilson Combat and Nighthawk. I will post my "new" S&W Scandium 1911 when it's done.
I got a PT1911 in Burnt Bronze and graphite Black, the Armory Black looks the same to me?
But the Burnt Bronze and Black is becoming more popular, I have had this one for a while now!
The Forest Green and Black is another very popular combo in the Cera coat
Is dura coating difficult or expensive? I purchased a P250 but the slide is the wrong color and I'd like to change it black to match the rest of the gun.
Like most paint jobs , the devil is in the prep work!
spend twice- three times as much time preparing the weapon to be painted than the actual painting and you generally get pretty good results
due to the thickness of the paint you typically do not want to get any inside the weapon and action , OH and be double sure that it is thoroughly cured/dried before reassembly.
$40 a can? How about this? Engine block paint. $8 a can, heat cured (or air cured depending on the brand), chemical solvent resistant, and available at the auto parts store you pass on the way home from work.
Just had to redo the slide on my ATI GSG1911-22. Factory finish was flaking off pretty badly. Heat cured it with a heat gun. My wife would have killed me if I had put it in the oven.
This is the way it looked right after I bought it;

I had my PT1911 done in all burnt bronze. My Kahr CW45 slide was also done in burnt bronze but left the frame black (no pic yet). I'm also having the slid and grips on my Cougar 8040 done in forest green and the slide left black. There's a guy about 45 minutes from me that does a great job at a very reasonable price.
