Just bought a used G19, Gen 2, (my second one). . .there is some appreciable holster wear on the slide.
Is it possible to DIY refinish the slide? I have refinished AR mags using Brownells Teflon paint. . . would something like that work––steel wool, degrease, paint, bake, etc––––, or is it going to end up looking like crap? Is this something that is best left to a professional. . .or what? I looked through the threads here, didn't really see any that addressed this, but if I missed them. . .sorry. . |
| I just bought a G32 and it has hostler wear on it also. I want to get it refinished also so I am interested to know what to use on it. Glock does do refinish jobs for 65 bones but I am thinking I want to do a custom job on it. So if you like the Tenifer send it to Glock they will do the best job I would bet. |

Quoted:
You can also try sending your slide to Robar for refinishing. If you do look into NP3, check out CCR. http://www.ccrrefinishing.com/ Real big with SIGs, but he does work on quite a few guns (I learned of him on BerettaForum). Most of the reviews of cera-plate (similar to NP3), say it is better feeling than NP3. I've seen a few guns done in it, and I'm planning on doing my entire PX4 in it. If anything, get a quote from him and compare it with Robar. I've had pretty much a complete gun done in his cera-hide, and his work is top notch. |

Screwball: some years ago, I had my 870 and my Kahr K9 refinished by "Mac's Shootin' Irons" out in Arizona. . . he did a great job. . .
I looked at the CCR site, and I'm sure they do a great job. . but Mac can do a satin nickel on my Glock slide for $45 + return shipping. . . since it's not a gun, it won't cost me an arm and a leg to ship, so I'm thinking I'm gonna send it to MAC. . . But thanks for the suggestion. . . I bought a can of manifold paint, but for $45, I think I'll let a pro do it. . . |
