djg0770 481 Posted March 22, 2011 Find someone that does soda blasting - it's supposed to be much less destructive to the metal than sand or glass beads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sasha45acp 7 Posted March 23, 2011 What finish do you want? Hard Chrome, Duracoat, etc. Any finish will be fine... As long as it's consistent. Just looking to stop the rust/mold damage on the Kimber that i got, and seal it: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,573 Posted March 23, 2011 I just duracoated a shotgun OD Green and it came out 'marvelous'. I have a hookup for Hard Chroming, Black Chrome, Nickel Plating, Hot Blueing and Gold Nitrate finishes. I sent a Kimber to them and am waiting for the return to check out the quality. I receive a discount so I can pass it on to my customers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
