I'm considering refinishing a used SIG I just acquired. The finish on the frame is in pretty good shape, but the slide is showing a great deal of holster wear.
I note that several do-it-yourself coatings such as those mentioned in the subject line require good prep for a good finish - often including bead-blasting.
How does one go about bead-blasting? Will local shops do that sort of thing?
Another question: I may just do the slide, but it has night sights installed. Do I just mask over the dots? What's the drill?
Finally, I understand the baking process can be pretty foul smelling - what's the current thinking on the no-bake coatings?
