Im thinking of duracoating my sig P6. Has anyone duracoated their steal frame pistol? and how did it turn out?

If you do it right then it will come out great. If you half as3 the steps it will come out bad.

Degrease it
Abrasive blast it
Degrease it.......It can not be too clean
Parkerize it
Clean it......the scaling
Dry it, heat it up
spray it, let it sit for a half hr then bake. (hope you have spraying skills)

If you don`t want to do all of that send her to me and I will give it a nice coat, I have restored some nasty used stuff and made them come out perfect. I have a ton of experience with the Sig series pistols.

Duracote is anything BUT durable, it's a genuine classic Sig send it out to CCR or somebody ( like James ) who can make it look as nice as it functions.

James, what other finishes do you have a lot of experience with?

I have been using a lot of KG Gun Kote for these restorations, I will post some before and after shots from the store.

But the prep work is the basis of any coating. Discount for who ever wants to ship a gun in refinishing first to mention this thread.

My Tactical's frame is duracoated and I want to redo it. Doesn't have to be duracoat as it didn't last too long.
