Adam B Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I have an STI Edge which is currently blued and I would like to refinsh the gun, so far I am torn between stripping the blueing and just polishing the gun to a bright finish or buying some of the Brownells Teflon/Moly Oven cure paint and painting it S/S Grey. I have used the Brownells before and it has turned out great. Any thoughts would great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Send it to Virgil Tripp at Tripp Research and forget about it, anything else will have to be redone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Had a carry gun coated with teflon - looked very good. With a lot of use you find it does not last very well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Before you join the ranks of "gun painters" (shudder to think) please consider parkerizing.

cardboardkiller Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I dropped my STI Ranger II off with Metaloy for hard chrome and polished flats a couple of weeks ago. I'll post pics when I get it back in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I'll add a ditto on Tripp Research, gun came back sooner that expected, very happy with the results. You won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardboardkiller Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Got my Ranger II back from a hard chrome job by Metaloy and a Caspian adjustable combat sight install. My crappy photo skills do not do Metaloy's job justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Suber Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Tripp is the ONLY way to go. Great work and a VERY reasonable price!!!!!!!!!!!!And let's not forget a 7 day turn around time <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Take a look at the tungsten carbide finish Derek (Mellenium Custom) uses. I have two pistols that he built and this finish is awesome. It is very thin and VERY slick. The finish with a little Slide Glide works very well. Of course, it ain't cheap. But I'll have it on all of my guns from here on out. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhunter Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I second Derek, he is GREAT, but I was not willing to pay the price for the finish you are speaking of at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
