New (to me) CZ75 resurrection pics!

[THEJAPINO]

Early this month, I picked up a Czech police trade-in in rough shape with the intention of getting it refinished.  Here are some pics.

A group pic with some friends' pieces.


After a detail strip and some Jasco, it looked like this.



I tried my luck with an aerosol finish...




But didn't like how corners chipped with just normal handling. A local guy does cerakote for a good price so after a detail strip, some coin, and 4 hours later, we have the final product!






The frame's color has a nice flop where it sometimes looks bronze, grey, or green depending on the light and background.  I love my CZ and can't wait until ammo is cheaper so I can shoot it more!  How'd I do CZFers?

Looks like you did good.  Nice looking CZ.

Looks GREAT!

What color name is the frame?

Enjoyed the photo sequences....especially the finished product and the detailed strip!

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

The frame is a mix of two colors.  A 3:1 mix of Burnt Bronze and Sniper Grey.  Should we call it Sniper Bronze or Burnt Grey or Burnt Sniper?

I've got a soft spot in my heart for guns that show honest wear (your "before" pic shows a fine working gun that's probably been operated so much, it's slicker than greased owl snot).

However, the end result of your paint quest shows a fine job was done

Nice looking result, love to see the well used gain a second life with someone who cares 

"Bronze Sniper" has my vote.
(Burnt Sniper can't be a good thing...)

Very nice! Sniper Bronze.

New pics!  The sun came out today so I took a few pics to show off the color. 'Bronze Sniper' Cerakote

Those colors contrast very nicely. Cool pics too!

Love the color but I love the battlefield pickup look too.

Love it!  That colorscheme is just about perfect!  Thanks for sharing!

I think you did a great job.  The honest wear was also a really good look but I think you knocked it out with the refinish.
