Gump Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Anyone do this before?http://titaniumgun.com/#2573I was thinking of sending a barrel for the CZ 75 SP-01 since its a plain jane and the barrel finish that is visible is less than perfect.

shadyone Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Only issue I have is that its gold. Id rather have it Black Nitride or NIckel boron (NiB). Or Im sure you could Get someone to Melonite coat it. all very good ways to even out a uneven finish while also making it better.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I had mine refinished in brushed hard chrome... Looks great.I used these guys www.apwcogan.com/plating-and-refinishing/finishes-metal-finishes.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 TiN is good stuff but I don't see the point of coating a barrel in it other than for the gold color. I much prefer the color of hard chrome tho, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Strictly cosmetic purpose. Are the other coatings mentioned as thin as titanium and scratch resistant? The titanium site lists there thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 No it doesn't. I'll get some pics later when I get home for you... I've only put maybe 500-600rds through it since refinish though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hard chrome is some seriously durable stuff. When I was apprenticing at a mold shop we would plate cavities and cores with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 heres the only wear i can see - not sure if this is what you meant by face....hard chrome is very durable, so im not sure you will find a finish that doesnt mark up...its not wearing through, its its got rub marks where its a little more shiny...up around the HK logo theres some and then the line across the bottom of the row of numbers is worn in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
