Cerakoted SP-01 Tungsten H-237

[Birds Away]

One of the best looking cerakoted CZs I have seen.  Really impressed with how it came out.

Thank you birds away... for people who have actutally stuck around to read this far, one negative thing for me is the feel, its not a polycoat super glass slick feel like on the standard factor finish.

Still very, very nice soltangris. Easy to wipe off after shooting? That's the best thing about my nickel 75b.

Muggia59,

I havent even shot the gun, I bought it, sent it out to be cerakoted, got it yesterday, sent it out today to have the barrel threaded, then its off to CGW for the "pro package". I think im half nuts.

Here is that picture of Burnt Bronze AR. I was planing on cerakoting my Shadow this color also when it wears out a bit but after seeing Velo's and your pics I'm having second thoughts.

I don't think so at all.  Good things come to those who wait.  When she is complete she will be one outstanding firearm.

Interesting, how does it wipe down?  Pretty clean and easy or a little more effort?

I am thinking about having my SP01 Shadow Target done in the same colors, i love the look.  Mine has a few dings and scratches, hence some thoughts about refinishing, although it has "character" now! 

soltangris,

I was interested about your comments on the texture...is it still smooth, as in a satin or matte finish, or more textured?  My reading suggests the cerakote finish can be varied somewhat depending on how much hardener is used.  Not sure I'd like a textured feel.

Robbie,
So the texture is more similar to a matte finish, Both of our guns that are in the pictures on this thread are the same color, done by the same guy. I asked specifically for as shiny and smooth as possible with Cerakote. Its really a strange color the Tungsten H-237 as you can see in the pictures it changes with the light.
Im not that keen on the slight texture, however it now gives me a unique tactile stimulation since its about the same gun as my Shadow Target, but feels different.

Thanks for the info.  Appreciate it.

Tungsten Grey Rocks, I have a number of firearms done it the color. I have a SP01 Tactical getting done now. I converted it from a DA/SA to a SAO with CGW parts, cant wait to get it back and put it back together.

That looks very nice!!! OP, how much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking?? I am thinking about it, but was wondering on what the ballpark price is.

Good looking gun, and it's going to be a bleep fine one when you get done with it!

For cerakoting one color handguns, the usual price is about $170 or so... this does not include the gunsmith fee of taking it appart and re assembling, nor shipping.
