I would really like some first hand advice.
I'm looking at refinishing methods apart from straight forward (traditional) blueing, blacking, anodising etc.
It's something I want to do, rather than send away to do - it has alot to do with LACK of posibilities as well as a sense of personal challenge - but I'm also seeing a need to provide this sort of service here in Spain.
SO - I have discovered a couple of options
KG (formally Kal-Guard) which I can aslo aquire inside Europe. http://www.kgcoatings.com/ - This has the advantage of being water based and no mixing. But the metal finish requires curing.
Duracoat (from Lauer) http://www.lauerweaponry.com/duracoatcol...oice=dcr_77.jpg - the advantage being smaller lots plus the "attraction" of lots of wierd colours etc. But needs mixing and top coats etc depending on the finish.
Would appreciate feedback on finish qualities and resistance. Both claim "wonders" - but not all wonders are wonderous.
Or anything else out there - I'm not a master "surfer" so I can have missed stuff.
Hope you can help
Chris
