I'm just really interested in altering color. May end up doing some metal coating on my Sig frames as well. Any other suggestions?

I've been looking at this for my daughters gun, kinda a girly girl thing for her. I would like to know how well it holds up on a M&P of a 1911.

I saw a video on Duracoat and it was incredible to say the least. Watch it on You Tube and then make up your mind. I really think you will go with the Diracoat when you see what colors it has and the look it gives to the firearms. Check it out first and I know you will definitely change your mind. Good luck!

I have duracoated several polymer frame pistols. Its extremely easy. Cerakote is a tougher finish but duracoat is damn strong. The last two I did were a Glock 17 and an H&K USP 9mm both in flat dark earth. Don't have pics b/c I did them at my shop. Sandblast at about 30-35 Psi after the frame is stripped down-takes about 5 min w/a Glock-not so much with the H&K. It doesn't take a lot, just lightly roughens up the surface to accept the paint easier, then wipe down with acetone several times. Get an airbrush gun and paint! I usually make a couple to three passes. Its all about the preparation, the better you do preparing, the cleaner it will look. I've had a couple of bad ones due to bad preparation. It needs about 3 weeks to fully air cure so don't rush it....beauty takes time. And btw, duracoat offers soooooo many more colors than cerakote. Hope this helps, this is just the way we do it.
