1worthlessnut Report post Posted February 5, 2013 I have a Springfield XD Tactical that is showing holster ware and would like it to look as good as it shoots. I'm looking for ideas or recommendations on a new finish or coating. I live in Gilbert and would prefer a shop on the east side. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjvcon Report post Posted February 6, 2013 I have had a couple of guns Cerakoted. Best test will be the .44 Redhawk I just had done, as it had holster wear big time. It is supposed to be a VERY durable finish. I use a guy named Tim Boehler in Peoria ... www.acoating.com . There is another guy I have heard some good things about ... Arizona Response Systems. He uses a different finish called Metacol. I believe he is in Surprise and is a certified refinisher for HK. I know ... I know ... not East Valley. There are others to be sure. Lots of people like Robar's NP3 and other coatings. That is certainly a good finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galiuro mountain man Report post Posted February 7, 2013 You could also duracoat it yourself. This stuff is pretty tough and sticks to any finish. All that is needed is a little time and an airbrush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
