stringcheese Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Looking for a local shop to add some color to my steel frame production class pistol. I want a durable finish and a shop that knows where paint is, and is not, supposed to be. Waterford, MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I like string cheese too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringcheese Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for the addresses! I didn't mean to yell. The stringcheese handle came from my cowboy alias "The Stringcheese kid", which I was named by my family for my affinity for cheese. It just is a forum handle that no one else would possibly ever use, so I carry it from forum to forum. It fits into the K.I.S.S. program that my 8th grade algebra teacher enrolled me in. Believe it or not, there are a couple web forums where someone already used stringcheese as their handle. Youtube was one. czforumsite.info was another. Un-friggin-believable! Thanks again for the info guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wurm Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 There is a guy named Todd that does the ceramic type coatings like Cerakote located in Washington Twp area. You can find him at http://www.customizedcreationz.com. Might be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryShoots Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) From that list there's only one of those guys I know personally. J. Long of Castle Arms. I've handled his work and it's very good. He takes his time especially in the all important prep stages and his results are excellent. Not to say that the others aren't good as well but I don't know they're work. Here's a photo of one he did for me... Tactical Black and Arctic White Ignore the small parts. I brought him the barrel, slide and frame detail stripped so the small parts and sights did not get duracoated.

stringcheese Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Nice looking pistol! Nothing is better than a polished gold product from magnum research though! jk I am waiting for delivery on a CZ85 Combat that I thought I'd dress up. I hear the factory finish is so tough that some of the finish guys don't like to even touch them?? dunno... I think I might just keep it black for a couple years. Thanks for the posts though!
