The receiver is aluminum so bluing amd parkerizing aren't possible. The other parts yes, but the receiver will have to be sprayed or anodized.

Take a look at cerakote.

I have been looking at this stuff.

Cerakote could be a great option .. any idea ballpark price for the gun minus the wooden furniture..

 

I've only had pistols done in cerakote so this is only an estimate on my part. If you take it apart and deliver the pieces to the cerakote sprayer where they don't have to do any assembly or disassembly, you could probably get it done for under $100. As I said, I don't know for sure though. It is a Great product!

 

I was thinking about possibly dipping my 500. Carbon fiber receiver would look pretty awesome I think.

Sounds pricey...

 

Price is relative to your desires and I guess if you want it to stay on for a while.
Wipe a hole in a polishing rag. Rust protection. 3 Microns thick, even makes the inside of the barrel look like glass.
Not sure what Chad would charge for just a shotty's metal

 

Yes I suppose that's true.. its really just a 500 that I paid 150 for so I really don't want to throw to much money at it.. I could just buy a new one before to long. I have been tempted to go with a crazy color like a fire engine red or something. Just to give the guys at the skeet and trap field something to talk about. Perhaps I will just high temp spray it.

 

I think FMR does duracoat work. You may want to pm him.

 

Mac's Shootin' Irons - I have been hearing fantastic things about this guy for years, and if I can stop buying guns I'll send him something to refinish myself.

$150-200 for long guns, including return shipping. He disassembles and reassembles everything for you. If you want something else done, his prices are very reasonable (as little as $5 for small magazines, and as I said, that includes taking it apart and putting it back together). Here's a shotgun he did for an Arfcommer.

 

I'd like to see before and after pictures of that gun.

To my knowledge he didn't post pics of the before, but the poster says it was a police trade-in (link to thread). Mac has done work of the same quality on guns that were in absolutely horrible shape, though:

I would go with the cerakote, I know a shop that does excellent work, Give me a call, Jeff 336-882-0000

 

I've done a couple of firearms using duracoat. This is the system I have used, and it was quite simple. http://www.lauerweaponry.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=929

I have used this system on two 18.5 inch Mossberg barrels (matte black) , Maverick 88 stock (od green camo pattern), and Bersa Firestorm frame (matte black).

I'd like to use this kit on a Saiga12 I recently converted. Do you think one kit would be enough to do the whole shotgun?

 

what do you use on the Magtube where the the forearm slides along.. thats a high wear area, i imagine most anything would rubb off.

Yes. I used one kit (matte black) on 2 shotgun barrels, Bersa .380 frame, and still had 60% leftover in the spray bottle.
This is after applying 3 even coats on each item.

FYI - Once you combined the mix in the spray bottle, it is usable up to 24hrs.

Good Luck!

 

did you put the base coat and top clear coat that is recommended on as well? If so, do they come with a sprayer as well or would you need one for those?

 

Look into Cerakote. Tough as all get out, looks great if done correctly, and not that expensive considering what you're getting.

Only certain colors and combinations required a base and clear coat. When you make your color choice, there is a prompt that will let you know if a base color is required. The kit contains EVERYTHING you will need (degreaser, color, sprayer), excluding gloves, mask, and tape. The instructions were simple, and straight forward. Each coat probably took maybe 15 minutes to dry, and I let the parts sit for 24hrs before reassembling.

 

I do duracoat and have had amazing results so far. I did my 870 in OD and Black. Duracoat is great and probably the least expensive option. The biggest thing is prep work. If you dont prep correctly your wasting time and money.
