I am sending off a 1911 I am doing some mild modifications to and want to get it refinished. At first, I was going for a "matte" blue on the frame and top of the slide, and 'mirror' high polish blue on the slide flats.
I was thinking of black chrome for the frame and sticking with the contrasting blue on the slide, but I have read that black chrome has relatively poor abrasion resistance and relatively poor corrosion resistance as well. I have also read the black chrome has a greenish tint unless it is polished to make it black. I don't want any hint of green on this pistol.
This pistol will be a weekend shooter and will not be a CCW.
Anyone have any black chrome experience good or bad?
Thanx.
