kcobean Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I've contacted 2 places about NiB coating a gun and neither has returned my emails or calls. I have a bald gun that I need to get coated before the rust takes over. I want it to look as close to bald as possible when finished (i.e. I'm not looking for color, I just want the corrosion protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Did you try H&M? They should get back to you within a day or two. And their turnaround time is great. Usually a couple weeks. If you need a contact for them, send me a pm and I'll get you the info. As for rust protection, get some Birchwood Casey Barricade (fka Sheath). I've used the stuff for 20+ years and have run guns in the white for extended periods and have zero problems with rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pictures of their work. Do you have any? thanks for the tip on the Barricade. Will give that a try in the meantime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Yes, they have facilities in Ohio and Florida. They do a lot of guns and a lot of OEM stuff, like Defiance rifle actions. Never heard of any complaints. Here are a few photos of one they did for me a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 H&M is black nitride. OP wants it to look stainless. Richter has a PVD finish that appears stainless in color. I forget what they call it. You have to go through a deal to use Richter though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also do hard chrome. Prices are reasonable and they do nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnyglock Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Not a fan of Richter’s finishes. They do a nice job but most of their finishes are not very durable. Plus they are way to expensive for what you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 If you like the silver/stainless look, I recommend Accurate Plating and Weaponry hard chrome. Hard chrome is harder than the steel under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the same coatings much tougher from other companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
