Yea, its me again. I'm still wanting a German Gray coating done by you, just have to make time to send it to ya......

My question is, my slide finish (original) went to poop in a hand basket. I stripped it and cold blued it with one of those Blue Wonder kits from Bass Pro.
turned out ok. I also installed a set of Tru-Glo sights myself with a BFH. That was fun... anyway, will the cold blue I put on my slide affect your coating process?? Sould I restrip it before I send it?? Will you still do it if I send it out with in the next 2 weeks??

That coating wont matter at all. I have to disassemble the slide 100% then clean and degrease the parts. Then Abrasive blast the slide back to the "white", then re clean degrease. Next Parkerize the slide then coat with the color of your choice. I am actually going to be running an end of summer special 40 dollars plus 7.00 for return shipping instead of the 55 plus shiping. If your paying by check/MO just send the 40 plus shipping and you get the discount. If you order online I will adjust the order for you before its keyed in.
