Anybody willing to coat a small part for me next time they spray?

[Mods, if this is the wrong place to put this, or if it is unacceptable behavior apologize and please do with the post what you will]

Is there anybody here who would be willing to dura or cera coat a small part for me as a favor the next time they were doing a larger project? I would of course pay for shipping to you and provide a return label and packaging. I would be looking for any sort of black or blued steel facsimile as a color.

I recently decided as a DIY project to try and grind and thread a bolt handle for a bigger knob. I used a cz 455 handle and the cheapest aluminum knob available because I could replace the whole handle for about 35 bucks if I screwed up.

But now I have a shiny aluminum handle on a blued gun with a matte black stock. I could paint it with BBQ grill paint, but I was thinking some nice soul might be willing to provide me with a superior finish. I could send the knob on a bolt to make it easy to hang, or I could send the whole bolt handle.

If you are willing and able, please send me a PM so that you are not bombarded with other freeloaders.

Funny you posted this. I read last night on a different site about using Dupli Color engine enamel with ceramic to refinish guns. Theres a 500 and 1200 degree paint. You follow directions and either bake or use a heat gun. I think a can is under 10 bucks and you can do it your self. Durability was noted as better that the gun finishes. Do a google search. You should find it. Good luck.

As a professional, I don't do free work. But a small part like that would be cheap. I would charge you about $10 labor and a couple for supplies. I do matte or gloss black Gunkote at least once a week.

PM for contact info if interested.

Engraving shops use this or similar products to blacken aluminum all the time. I haven't used this one in particular, its just the first one that came up when I searched. There may be cheaper options out there, but even at this price its not much worse than paying shipping both ways.

If there's a Walmart or Academy Sports near east Texas, you can pick up a bottle of Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black for about $10.
