duracoat gold and titanuim

hello people. im thing about duracoating a pair of cz52's in gold with titanuim trigger, hammer, and base plate. does anyone have pics of these color? its hard to determen what they look like on there website

sorry for the bad spelling, posted on a cell phone. lol

Some posts were deleted.

K'mon folks, don't be sassing the guy for wanting to do this. It isn't very high road behavior.

If you don't like the idea then at least be civil enough to let it go without snide comments.

If the website pictures aren't easily discernible then i doubt you'll have luck with any computer monitor pictures. I'd request a sample sheet be mailed to you from Duracoat.

The pics i was refering too was small thumbnails of a ar15 in the color. Cant get a good bearing of what it looks like. I would like a close up of details. Cant seem to find any.

duracote has many colors, unlikely you'll find someone with the exact one to show you, especially in gold.

try googling the exact color name. the website pics do suck.

I got two samples coming in the mail. I never woulda thought of that. Thanks for all your help

Good luck with the project!

I for one would be interested to see how they look when finished :)

I will post pics when im done. I also just recieved custom grips from designer grips

finally located a duracoater within 2 1/2 hours from my house, planning a trip with the wife to go drop them off

these are the grips i ordered from www.designergrips.com

Hey! I like those grips.:)

Checked their web site, I didn't see anything like that. Obviously they have a wider selection than shown.

Never thought about duracoating my CZ 52, but have long wanted better grips, just hadn't found anything I liked that was available when I looked.

Let us know how it turns out, I might decide to do something similar to mine.

I just emailed him and told him what i was looking for. Within two weeks i had the grips. Going to order some pink camo p238 grips with my wifes name in them for xmas.

Sounds like you'll have a true BBQ gun from a CZ-52. Awesome. Post pics, I'd really like to see how it turns out.

I've thought of hard chrome, but duracoat makes a lot of sense.

I will post the pic as soon as i get them back. Im trying to start a small group called "goldyglocks" all kinds of weird old pistols duracoated gold. My wife is guna get a m1895 nagant gold and silver "titanium color" another friend mite do a beat up makarov. I dont wanna destroy anything with collecter value so i got some beat up cz's and my wifes nagant is horrible. We wont shoot them much but we are going to get some weird looks and te range

Please keep us updated!!!:)

I'd like to see the results myself!

I would like to see the results too. Is it going to look like real gold plating?

Nevermind. I just googled them. Not a fan. Looks like spray paint.

if you google "gold duracoat" thats does not help very much with a good pic. i got this pic of jims gun supply to show you the color im looking at.

It was hard to tell from the website, but the gold's not that shiny. I was picturing something like Saddam's AK-47 gold. I still think it'll look pretty cool when finished.

As do i. Its pretty much sparkly paint. But it tougher and stronger then gold plating. Plus cheaper

Sounds like a cool idea to me. I have a S&W 66 I want to do some gold inlay to as well as a nice ole 870 Wing Master. Go for it!

Update!

I will pick them up in 3 weeks. Got delayed from dropping them off.

finally done

here is another

Niiice. Now you just need dual shoulder holsters. :-) Thanks for keeping us posted.

Well I think your pistols look just GREAT!

Excellent results, very tastefully & artistically done. I'd love to see some high definition pics with a flash or bright light to really see the colors. Fine pair of pistols!

There is a holster from amazaon in my cart. Its a duel shoulder holster. The next sunny day im going to use my wifes camera and take pics outside so the full effect can be seen. The pictures do no justice

That is pimptastic! I love it!

finally done
Looks great.

Usually not a fan of gold plated guns but I can certainly see the appeal of a barbq duo pimp set like that. They turned out better than I expected.

Nice Job!! My CZ 70 is getting ideas.......

Dude....

those look awesome!

Thanks guys. The cz70 would looke pretty sweet.

"ilikeoldgunsilikenewguns"- you should do it, buy a old beat up pistol amd do it. I got a makarov that needs a reblueing job big time. Mite make it all silver with a gold trigger, hammer, and mag.

Wow I remember seeing this thread months ago, thanks for following up with pics!

And I agree with a previous poster. Came out great and totally pimp!

Thanks powder monkey

I like them!

Not just your run of the mill CZ_52's anymore.

I am definitely going to have to think about having one of mine done.

If I wanted a shiny gold gun, I'd look into titanium nitride plating.

Here's a place that does it, with a few pictures: http://dougsgunsmithshop.com/index.cfm/pageid/16

(This is NOT a recommendation, I have no idea how good these folks are, it's just the first place I found in a quick search.)

Robbins290 I'm getting brain fire from this idea for my CZ 70. Thanks for the link to the grip manufacturer! Have to get the cool grips if you're going to do the refinish.

Outstandingly cool!

Khegglie-paul from designer grips will make anything you can dream up. Withen 2 weeks i got those back. You can also get your firearm duracoated from jims gun supply. Do a google search for jims guns supply. But im iffy abot sending guns in the mail.

Thanks Bro!

How about about that! I'll admit to being skeptical when I first read this posts, but this actually seems to work pretty well on the CZ-52. Not bad at all!

I like the grips. I was actually wanting some similar grips for my Beretta 96, but then I see the talk if I ever have to use it, maybe the D.A. will paint me out as some "lone warrior anarchist" or "anti-establishment killer". Nothing surprises me. Heck, I had felony charges of assault filed on me for getting in an accident with a passenger, when I was like 17. Nobody was even hurt. But there are some aspects to consider with your carry piece, if you ever have to use it.

So I dunno.

Gwarghoul-i agree about if i ever use them for sd. They are basiclly range guns now. The DA would be all over me

You need to get yourself casted in some action movie with those.

looks great

Nice grips! Pardon my ignorance, but what's the meaning behind the circled "A" symbol?

Ah! Thanks! Now I ain't as iggerint as I wuz 3 hours ago.

Much nicer than I thought they would look.

Good job.

Cool, thanks for coming back and showing pictures! They look great :)

did Paul from northeastern firearms do the duracoating?
I just saw these guns in uncle henrys for his gunsmith business.

Yes. It was paul from norrheastern firearms in turner maine. The funny thing is, paul from designer grips, paul from northeastern and my name is paul

Wow!!! That looks better than I thought it would.

Those turned out nice.

Now you can tell the wife you are the man with the golden guns.

Thats funny. I told her "the man with the gold plated makes the rules" she laughed pretty hard.
