imschur Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Are there any good aftermarket coatings or process's for coloring stainless steel to either dark blue or black? I would like to make a stainless 1911 two tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodent.22 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Try EPI.com. They market a black oxide compound you boil in water.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techmike Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I really like Dura-Coat. It is rated for stainless, I use an air brush, and have not been disappointed. I air cure it, after two weeks it is bullet proof!http://www.duracoat-firearm-finishes.com/TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 How does it hold up to cleaning solvents ?I may think about the Urban Camo on my HiPoint 995 :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 How does it hold up to cleaning solvents ?No problems so far - just have to make sure to follow the instructions carefully, and make sure your measurements are accurate. It is a two part epoxy paint. This is my first dura-coat project - a CZ-82.TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
