Cerakote..My First Attempt

[jcbvh]

Here is the starting piece. Remington R1 1911:



Blasted and Soaked in Acetone/ Degassed per instructions:



Cerakote applied and cured in kiln:



Final Product - Changed the hammer,beavertail,trigger (Wilson Combat), and grips (Fusion Firearms)







I wasn't sure how the recoil spring tube was going to wear so I didn't exactly worry about coating the whole thing properly since you don't see it. I plan to reblast and recoat once I get an idea.

I have a SIG Desert which comes Cerakoted FDE from SIG.

Put 500 rounds through it 2 weeks ago, still perfect. I think you would be GTG.
