So I have a couple of 1911's and I am considering painting them, or at least one of them. It'll probably be one color per gun or per part, no patterns. I've never colored any of my weapons and I'm looking for something more substantial than a rattle can job. I'll reserve that for my hard use AR's. Has anyone used a DIY kit like cerakote or duracoat or gunkote? Right now, I have an airbrush gun, airbrush compressor, oven, and baking sheets. Is it even worth trying to do it myself? Or is any potential headache worth it to pay to have someone else do it? I've gone to Green Dragon Guns in the past to have an AR upper and lower cerekoted and was pleased with the results. And I'm sure there are other places out there who does good work also. Any input based on personal experience would be appreciated.
