I have a CZ-75 I bought new ages ago. I shoot it very little as the double-column pistols do not fit my hand really well, but the gun shoots well and is very, very accurate. It was also really ugly. I didn't care for the epoxy coating. In addition I had to have the front sight reattached and the heat from the silver solder didn't do the appearance any good at all. I thought about what to do and decided I would give Cerakote a try. I had it done in the "titanium" color, sort of a silver-gray. The finish has just a bit of tooth to it, kind of like a very smooth Parkerizing. All in all I am very pleased. Cost me $170 for the pistol and three magazines, which I considered to be reasonable. I haven't shot it since picking it up last week, but thought I would share the photo. (Assuming the attachment takes)

Looks good!

The thin grips and recurved trigger made a significant difference in trigger reach with my CZ75c.

Maybe it's the color translation on my phone , or the lighting in the pic , but on my phone , it looks kinda Purple . Not that there's anything wrong with that , if you like it .

Not purple. Color translation must be a bit off.

I assume it was bead blasted. At least that is what the gunsmith said. He doesn't actually DO that finishing, he farms it out. He just checks it for function then disassembles it and sends in the parts to be finished. He gets them back, reassembles and tests the weapon. Everybody gets a small piece of the action and I deal with somebody local who I have done business with before.
