Cerakote your GSG

[kds857]

For those who have a beat up GSG 1911-22 with the crummy factory paint finish and the metal showing underneath the wear, here's what you can do. I had concerns whether cerakote could be applied to the slide of the GSG but it turned out good.

I sent mine to Orange County Defense (ocdguns.com) in Irvine for their calguns special and it was fast turn around (2 days or so). The best part is that the slide is clean now, none of that ugly ATI writing all over it.

This is the Tungsten cerakote and in terms of feel/texture, it is sort of like a stonewash finish, at least when applied to the GSG potmetal slide.

What else did you do the cerakote besides the slide ?
And how much for the cost ? If you don't want to post then you can PM me.
Thanks You.

Only the slide. I got it for 20 plus shipping but now the price seems to be 30. I think these are all temporary special prices because the shop was in the process of moving or something like that.

Looks great, is it durable?

haven't shot it yet, but i usually put about 150 rounds through per range session so after the next one maybe i can take a pic of the wear, if any.
