Question on Hydro dip or Dura coat?

[AngryGunner]

Want to do the slide of one semi's. Which process would be the best? Most durable? Longer lasting? Who this lower the value of the pistol? I just want something different than Black oxide.

Can anyone one give any recommendations?

Thanks for the help

CeraKoted my 590....believe it's the tuffest out currently.

DuraCoat does not hold up to automatic fire. It burns and blackens.

LOL. I think it's a requirement to say those words in all caps.

Any coating on a slide will wear with holstering, including bluing and park.

Would this be the same process as say a chrome car bumper?

no hard chrome is for guns. i had a para frame, most parts and 3 mags done for $100. the mags were stolen with my range bag long ago. it puts a slick surface on i had no problem with reassembly. looks kind of grey but where it rubs a lot, over time it gets shiney.

Thanks for the replys, I think I will go with the Cerakote. But I will look into the HAR CHROME sounds interesting. I will take some before and after pictures.

Any recommendations on who to use?

Thanks for the help.

No recommendations down here, but I used to get racecar suspension parts plated with hard chrome to prevent corrosion and they stood up to road debris abuse pretty well.

Who does hydrodipping in the upstate? I know there is someone that does it through Gunslingers in Mauldin. Any PSF friends do it?
