Parkerizing the slide

the olive drab green slide would look nice with the black polymer frame on the XD.

I used zinc because it was a lighter color and I was wanting to see how light grey I could get it.

Is it a good enough finish? It's better than nothing, if keep clean, and well oiled it will do OK. I would think about a bake on finish Moly Resin or something simular. It's much tougher than the non bake on paints.
