    I am about to purchase a gun that has a cerakote finish on it. It is coming off and I personally don't like the color anyway. I want a deep black finish with some sheen to it like a dlc satin finish or melonite. I also wanted to get the barrel coated in one of the pvd or tin. Gold or bronze color. Ive been looking a bit online and it seems most likely will have to ship to have it done. From looking at prices I can get slide and barrel done for 200 or less. I don't want to go with a cerakote, preferably something a bit nicer and will last me a long time. Any recommendations local or out of state is fine also. Thank you

    I don't have any personal experience with them, but http://anccoating.com/products.htm is literally right around the corner from radical firearms in Houston. I hear they are pretty darn cheap to coat your products, but to get the best finish, you would want to prep it yourself. I think it was somewhere around 40 bucks to TiN coat a barrel. From my understanding they coat for Larue and Collectorfirearms in TX.

    Also these people coat in TX also, though they aren't "gun" companies. They do coating for a living.

    BTW, I know they aren't in NOLA but I figured since they were cheap, it may be worth the shipping.

    I have a nitrided defiance deviant action that I purchased from bug holes. Fantastic finish and very slick.
    If I am not mistaken, the process was done by http://www.blacknitride.com/index.html.

    Also have 2 BAT Tactical actions in melonite from Wolf Precision. They are nice as well. Not sure who they outsource the process on those though.
