Radio Flyer Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I took my Kahr K9 to Performance Powdercoating Ohio to get it refinished using Cerakote H. I did quite a bit of reading on what product to use to get it refinished in and Cerakote H was supposedly one of the best ways to go.I got my K9 as a police trade in, one of the nicer ones in the bunch I think. I added Trijicon Night sights and took it to Performance to have it done.I went with Black and Sig Tactical Grey for a two tone color combo. Barrel, guide rod and frame were all done in Grey. Slide and controls were all done in Black.I'm honestly extremely impressed with the way this turned out and their prices were a lot cheaper than others I found online before I factored in shipping. It took one week to turn it around so they do things prompt. If anyone is interested in having this done, tell them Ryan with the Kahr told you to come in and they'll do you up right.Here is what it looked like before I took it in.And here is the after product.

bowdog Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Did you not like the looks of the Stainless? looks good and I am not being a dick, just trying to figure out why you would not just buy a blued one instead of spending the extra for stainless and having this done.

e-flores Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Looks super nice. You're going to have to keep us updated on how it looks after 1000 rounds or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well under that through this process.Looks super nice. You're going to have to keep us updated on how it looks after 1000 rounds or so.I definitely will. This is going to be my EDC so I'll be able to comment on how it holds up against everyday holster use and range days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good route to go on a refinish if it's a gun you really want to keep around or you get a good deal on something you think is ugly.

Gump Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Looks clean. If you don't mind, What did it cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 230 for the entire firearm to be done. It costs less if you don't do everything. This was the cheapest place I found too, plus they were local. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
