PureSilver Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looks pretty good - I await better photos with interest. Could you explain how the ordering process goes - as in, how you specify a colour etc? Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Holy BANG ! That looks great. But still it's to expensive to me . Do you think they would be so kind to sell some amount of Cerakote itself ? I have to ask them because I have equipement to do this myself. Problem is always the same - buying the paint itself from Europe. Edit: Luckily I looked wrong way on list from Phil - price for complete body IS in my range, but still it would be great to buy the paint and do whole job myself - as a scale modeler armed with airbrush , and some cheap paint workshops around to bake it after painting, it could be easy to do.

CplHicks Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Phil, is that flat dark earth or burnt bronze? Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looks pretty good - I await better photos with interest. Could you explain how the ordering process goes - as in, how you specify a colour etc? I just called them up and spoke to mark, their rifle smith and the guy who does the spraying. Sorted it all with him. If you want mutlicoloured finishes or parts masking off then you'd defo need to speak o him and finalise a price. Phil, is that flat dark earth or burnt bronze? It's burnt bronze but the photo doesn't show it to its best. It's sooooooo nice in the flesh I can't wait to use her! Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looks good. I've seen a few RS guns that have that color finish. This looks very legit. You should find it wears exceptionally well. Any scratches yet? I'd be surprised if there were. Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Nope! But it's only a day old! Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Here's the 1911 in OD. The trades are still nice and crisp and the slide fits the frame with no binding on the lugs at the back at all. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 That's great to hear. That's the mark of a proper cerakote applicator: clean lines, hardy finish, and parts should go back together with minimal interference. I'm getting my LaRue PredatAR cerakoted in FDE shortly.

Squad 701 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Still waiting on Sig Grey ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
Philbucknall Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 They have FG in stock now and sig grey, both of which look great! MRF I asked for you again on Saturday and it's a no I'm afraid. I believe they gave you e details of the european agent based in Germany and to honest that's all they can do. Below is the last piece they did for me, it hasn't turned out as light as multicam but you know what, Im really happy with the end result! See for yourselves anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
