Anyone have this finish on a gun?

Yesterday a friend told me about a place not far away that does this finish. I have a couple guns I wouldn't mind having refinished and since this place is close (45 miles) we thought we would drive over and check it out.

Enfield top break in OD GunKote:

It's pretty durable stuff, you'll get some thinning on all the high use spots like slide rails, corners of slide etc.. as you'd expect of any finish, but otherwise it's prett decent.
On the revolver, you can see torch marks from shooting on the cylinder and some wear spots, the torching wipes off though.

Thanks.

That's what I thought it was. I might get that done on a CZ82 or Makarov. Both are good guns but look a little bad.

KG Gunkote and Norrell's Moly Resin are one in the same. I use both and like them. Very good thermal cured finishes.

I used Norrell's on this AK build...

as with all of the paint on finishes,

it depends on the prep work put in before hand,

the best will have a parkerized base finish which actually finishes the metal itself, where the paint is just a surface coating,

i would ask to see at least pictures of his other work, and look for runs and sags,

and ask him how thick he sprays the wear spots, along with what he does to internals and wear parts

I used it on a 1911 and it has held up very well..Its still on the slide rails..Prep is very important..I blasted it with 240 alum. oxide, sprayed the crap out of it with degreeser then sprayed it with several thin coats and baked it..Used it in 3 different training classes with alot of presentation work and no signs of holster wear yet..have about 4000 rnds through it..

Thanks all.

I'll make note of the questions to ask when we drive there.
