Recent rescue

Good save! Looks great. I always enjoy taking an abused gun and bringing it back to life.

Yes both cerakote, tactical grey and graphite black, I love restoring revolvers, I'll keep posting my proyects.
 
Wow! Great job on the restoration... looks really nice
 
Very nice. How difficult was it to do? I'm not much of a painter, and get runs in anytime I try and use a spray can, do you think this is something I could do?
 
I think it turned out great! Did you use the air dry or the bake on stuff? I've heard good stuff about Cerakote.
 
Rescue

Well this is the second gun that I do with cerakote, the kit I got comes with the spray gun, I not much of a painter, however cerakote is very forgiving, it is easy to cover, and all it takes is just one coat, however painting is actually the easy part, sand blasting and preparing the part takes a lot of time, also if you get a run on the paint or by any chance you touch the part before baking it, it is ruined, you have to start the process all over again, I suggest anyone that is interested follow the tutorials on the cerakote site, and yes the cerakote that I use is the oven baked one. I ope this helps.
 
You did a great job on your rescue pistol. I would be proud of it.
 
I'm not a fan of "two-tone_ guns but this one sure came out looking nice. Good job on the rescue & on the refinish.
 
I really like the idea of finding a solid, tight but cosmetically poor handgun (especially a good quality S&W) and turning a non-collectable piece into a very useable shooter.

Did that with the S&W 10 you see here. The little girl locked up solid, bore was excellent, finish was, to be charitable, lousy (with some light pitting to boot!).

Now she’s a real Queen!
