Looking for places that do silicon carbide treatment on Sig X5 Legion

I used Alma Cole's method and really liked the results:

 

 

The only thing I didn't like was how "shiny" and light the grit was, so I masked everything off and hit it with some matte black spray paint:

 

 

There's no sign of the paint coming off, so I'd imagine you could paint it any color you like.  It may wear off from the high spots, so if you paint it white or some other contrasting color, it may show through.  Come to think of it, that may be a really interesting look!  

 

BTW, the XDm frame is a serial numbered part (I don't like making permanent changes to serial numbered parts) and I wanted to build up the grip a bit, so the grit is actually epoxied to some 3" heavy duty heat-shrink tubing.

Brekke Custom does some work with silicon carbide, and the prices he quoted were very reasonable. I'd give them a call, they're doing some pretty interesting advanced work too.
