emjei Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I was going to ask Why Cerakote a nice looking Hard Chrome Stock 2 but then I realized you have a Stock 3 .... Can you Cerakote the Graufel Grips ???? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What brand and model air brush do you use? A badger something or other. Whatever met my $75-100 price point when I bought it 8 years ago... I'm sure you can cerakote the EGD grips, yes.

MemphisMechanic Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Ran flawlessly in our match this weekend. I even guesstimated the rear sight within 4 clicks total windage/elevation at 25 yards! I finally got around to shooting some decent images of the refinished gun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Minimum tools required: Cheap Harbor Freight spotblasting gun Sandblasting media $50ish airbrush (or automotive paint gun) An oven big enough to fit whatever you're going to be coating. Youre certainly not going to do one handgun and save over the cost of sending it to a shop that does them all the time, but for those of us who enjoy working on our own guns? I pretend I break even each time I cerakote one of mine. Edited April 10, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottieShootz Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thinking this through as Im sending my Open gun for cerakote in a few weeks. Did you re-polish all those spots you did on the factory coating? I know you taped off the rails, but what about all the other frame spots?

MemphisMechanic Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Honestly yes I do, when I coat one of my guns... simply because it's easier to polish off the overspray that it is to mask every surface inside the frame. If they mask off the interior better than I, you won't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
