[Refinishes & Restorations] A sampling of my works. [Pic Heavy!]

[Guest LLArms]

Right now I work exclusively with DuraCoat. In the near future I will be trying my hand at CereKote - working on finding room in my work area to get a table top oven set up.

Ruger Mark II  (restored for my pastor, whom is a retired US Army veteran. We also added some Hogue Wrap Grips and a fiber optic front sight as a surprise!)

- Was not cleaned in roughly 10 years

- Was in a flooded basement

And one of my newest projects. Once again a restoration free of charge for a co-worker who I have known for 10 something years. Good guy, but does not have a lot of money. I just got this tonight so as of right now cleaning it up prior to prep is the name of the game.

I plan to add some nice rubber grips, a carry case, a new holster, and a box of ammo. (he gave it to me in a ratty nylon holster) as a surprise

Charter Arms .38

Will update as I have more pics to post.

Nice work! <thumbsup> I did a Para Ordinance widebody frame in the stainless DuraCoat a while back. It came out pretty nice and was a good match with the hardchrome slide I put on it.

Very nice! what kind of shape was the bore in after being underwater for a while and not cleaned?

I'm thinking about changing the color of my PRS stock in the future, would Duracoat hold up good ? can you use CereKote on non metal items? sorry for the newbie ??

[Guest LLArms]

DuraCoat can go on all kinds of surfaces. So yes. As long as you properly prep and apply, it will hold up fine.

As far as the CereKote, no idea.

Nice work .

Is that a miniature fountain ?

[Guest LLArms]

Hell yea it is.  I won it this past Christmas during a game of "Bad Santa".

You hating on my fountain bro?  >:(

For some reason I have the urge to pee every time I see this thread

[Guest LLArms]

Got a chance to start up some more on the Charter Arms...

[imschur]

and your giving the window fan an urban camo treatment

[Guest LLArms]

I'm actually working on a booth with an exhaust fan and some duct work to expel the crud outside directly.

Some painters actually use stove top exhaust roofs and build around those. But that cost to much.  :o <laughs>

[alelks]

I know it hasn't happened yet but just be careful that the fan doesn't spark and ignite the propellants/flammable material in the paint fumes. 

THAT WOULD SUCK!  :o

PS  I've done something similar to that myself so I'm not the one to talk.  <thumbsup>

Find a buddy who does heating/ AC. Get a furnace blower and motor housing out of a unit he is replacing. They are light years better than regular fans. Smooth, steady air flow, quiet, and powerful. Did I mention; cheap or free!!!
