scooterj Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Virgil's time is almost up. A friend wants to try to fill the gap. I'll get my Spartan back from him next week.(will post pics in the gallery) Daniel has done lots of research and I think he's got a good product, with more to come.

buddy_fuentes Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Yep, just out of Gonzales, LA. He is going to get my new 6" top end next week. Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Interesting. How's his turnaround time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Interesting. How's his turnaround time? Brought him my Spartan this morning, should be ready tomorrow or Friday. I'm working this weekend so I won't get it back till next week. We did some torture test with a couple different acids and a bead blaster. "Cobalt Armor" has a tenacious grip.

I just emailed him to find out when he's ready to do revolvers. I've got a good shooting but butt-ugly M13 that I've been wanting to get re-finished.

I already emailed him, and he said that he's not ready to do round guns yet. Love your slogan. It's not how you shoot, it's how you look!!! Dang, I'm SOL on both counts!

Gordo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Just had my BHP done by Daniel (DMH). What can I say... it's AWESOME! He did mine with a satin finish. I love how the Cobalt plating color came out on my pistol, slightly darker than hard chrome with just barely a tint of blue. (to my eyes, anyway) Absolutely gorgeous finish. Thank you, Daniel! I'll post again after I finish abusing... err, I mean testing the plating with my sweat and general neglect. It's been cooking in my car parked in the sun with a generous coating of my sweat for a couple days. So far, nada. Nothing. It's like the Cobalt plating just doesn't care. I 've had fellow shooters claim I could rust plastic... Gordo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Got the Spartan back today. The pics do it no justice!!! Hard to believe it's the same gun. Gordo, I know you handled it Saturday and still no rust! May let Wanda handle it, if it doesn't rust within an hour, we have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Scooter, if Wanda Miculek and Gordon Lee can't rust it nothing will. I may try to sink it in the salt water pool for a few days and see what happens. Nothing like a home brewed chemistry set and a summer off, I've been wanting to try this stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMH Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Looookeng Gooud....like yourrr seester! Finally came to me the other day. The my seester jokes (that I should have trademarked well before Larry the Cable Guy)were subconscioulsy planted in my deviant mind years ago by Speedy Gonzales. My monster in law actually got me the sets of all the looney tunes classics, and my little girl loves them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddy_fuentes Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 OK guys, Daniel stopped playing in the salt water and I took him my 6" slide yesterday. He called me last night and said that he had finished and it came out gorgeous. He posted a photo of my slide on his web site. Take a look and see what you think. www.plate-tacular.com Buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
