[QUOTE="Glock119, post: 61841, member: 3218"] [ QUOTE ] I'd rather have a professional finish that won't wear off at the muzzle or wear points, but this one was cheap enough. Jeff [/ QUOTE ] rost495, Yes, this is a problem with most all painted finishes I have seen. At any points with wear or tight tolorances the finish will most always wear off. The better finishes will not normally come off at the muzzle as I normally find this with the cheaper or quicker applied finishes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] When the painted finishes are applied from a professional like ironbrigad armory they will put a nice parkerized finish under it so as the painted surface is removed from the wear spots there is still a durable finish protecting the metal.
