Zmego Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 We should ask STI if they know of a temperature limitation on their slides. I have been thinking this same thing and I meant to call them today but forgot Spoke with STI's service depart today and they said the 850 degree heat shouldn't be hot enough to effect anything.

polymerfeelsweirdman Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 might be interested in this later on I would like to see how everyone's stuff comes out though do they have an ffl available so one could send in something like a 1911 or BHP receiver for the treatment?

Maxximuss Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Someone asked about more pictures of TiCN. It seems like most companies color is slightly different. This company's color looks closest to Calico Coating, http://www.richterprecision.com/pvd-coatings.html (halfway down on the right). Some companies have more a gray look and others more purple, I am not entirely sure of the reason for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praff Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Really looking forward to seeing the results of this and hope the color is more on the copper end of the spectrum as opposed to the grayer stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman2733 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Do we have a date for the second batch? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximuss Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I don't have a second batch planned yet. Just plan on being ready to send it out the middle of April to Calico. Sometimes it tough to know exactly who is in until the last minute. As it gets closer, stay in contact with me so I can account for who is in.

Maxximuss Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Here is the updated standing of batch #1. I will try and figure batch two as we get interest. PM me and we will figure out details. Iceman, are you wanting to do two guns or just one? Batch #1: Maxximuss STI 2011 Jay's Camerons Custom Waktasz Iceman2733 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 This is going to be awesome. I emailed them to get an idea of the difference between the satin and bright finishes. Hopefully they will be able to send some photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praff Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Any updates on this???? Can't wait to see a pic or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximuss Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 We are waiting on either Iceman or a 4th gun to go into the batch. We are all ready to send them off but don't want them waiting in queue at Calico. If anyone wants in to be the fourth gun coated speak now or forever (or second batch) hold your peace. The price is $162.50 plus $25 if you need the metal microfinished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Very excited for this awesome looking, very hard, very slick and well priced finish. Someone else get in on this so we can make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praff Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ok somebody send me some pics!!!!! I might wanna do my les Baer but wanna see polished and satin examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximuss Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Ok somebody send me some pics!!!!! I might wanna do my les Baer but wanna see polished and satin examples We won't have any pics until we can get one more gun in the batch. I think polished is the only way to go on a 1911/2011, think of a hard chrome without the shiny... it doesn't make sense. I think you should just jump in head first and we can all get them done!

praff Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm in for a batch of small parts....trigger, hammer, thumb safety, grip safety, barrel, bushing, recoil plug, slide stop. Just cant do the whole pistol as there are a some slide mods I would like to do prior to coating. Lemme know if this gets you guys closer to getting everything done. Def willing to be flexible on pricing, but not willing to pay the price of an entire gun. Maxximuss, send me a pm if it works out and maybe we can discuss pricing for the parts vs entire gun as well.

waktasz Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I have a new black steel Phoenix Trinity grip for this to go on I guess I need to send my barrel for a black coating now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonF Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Matt, was that the "matte" or polished surface prep treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Do you really have to ask?? I'll give you one guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonF Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 looks shiny, so i guess its the polished version, but what do i know about it? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCC1911 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Lol... looks polished to me That is gonna look awesome with a black grip, and be awesome with a steel grip. May I ask, is your grip Ceracoated? Did it come that way, from PT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yes, it's the polished. It's what they recommended because the surface prep is important and the prepping is what gives it the shiny finish. My grip was cerakoted by the previous owner but he never had it installed on a gun so it's basically new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgj3 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) So the shiny one a few posts up is polished and the bottom one is matte finshed? Or is the bottom one just burnt bronze cerakote? Edited June 11, 2014 by wgj3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
