I have a 908 and a 6904 that I would like to refinish/touchup the slides on. The finish on both of them look different to me. The 908 has a more thin blueing with some speckling and the 6904 has what appears to be a much deeper blueing and looks more like a melonite finish, but I don't think it is. The 6904 has holster wear near the muzzle.

The 908 appears to be blued steel, but is the 6904 blued steel also or some type of blackened stainless?

I don't care for cerakote and would really like to touch up the finishes in such a way that it wouldn't void the warranties.

I called the mothership a few months back hoping I could get them to Armornite/Melonite coat the 908 slide, they said they would only refinish it back to the original factory finish.

If I were to have a 3rd party company melonite the slides, do you think it would void the warranty?

Should I just break out the birchwood casey gun blue and touch them up?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rosewood
