duracoating my kimber??

I have a Kimber pro carry 2. It is my carry gun and has received some scratches in the finish. I have been thinking about duracoating it but dont know how it will hold up. If anyone has tried this i would appreciate your opinions and experiences.
Thanks

get brownells alumihyde, 2 no baking and it lasts a long time, simply spray it on and let the gun air dry for 3-4 days. I put it on a old colt officers and it held up well for about a year. If needed you can then touch the gun up very easy.

CCR refinishing has a pretty good rep and more choices in colors than you would believe.

I have not used their services (and have no financial interest in their operation) but have seen the results from several who have. Nice work, reasonably priced.

Watch out for any of these spray on services, most of them are simply a spray on paint, that is either baked or air dry Most of these finishes are not really that scratch resistant and they usually charge between $100-$150 for them.

The best finish you can get is either hard chrome or nickel plating hands down, all the other finishes are some type of spray on finish , wether done by a simple air brush and oven or a electrostatic spray gun.

If you are really concerned about the finish I would send it to a good custom gun smith that does hard chrome, the price should only be about $250 and you only need to get it done once.

If you go to the www.ar15.com refinishing section, there is a lot picks of guys that spray painted there weapons with all types of paints and most hold up well.

There is even a guy who used krylon flat black chauck board paint that turned out great on a whole gun, as the paint is made to dry very hard to hold up for kids drawing on it.

Ship your pistol frame, slide, parts, etc. To "robar" in phoenix, arizona. Ask them to plate it with their "np3" fibnish. I promise you will not be disappointed with the results, go to www.robarguns.com and check out their finishes. I have used their plating services many times over the past 15 years with complete satisfaction of their product & customer services.

$395 to nickel plate a pistol is really high, you should be at to get a satin hard chrome finish for $250

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm looking to do black and would like to do it my self just because I really enjoy doing stuff like that. On the other hand, I want it to last and stand up to holster wear as it is on my hip every day all day.
