I have decided that it is time for my HP to get a new finish. I will be adding a few new parts and giving it a nice tune-up. Norrell Moly Resin will be my choice finish. I have been carefully blending and removing sharp edges to give it a little "melted" look. I will be doing the frame and its parts an olive drab color. It will be sand blasted first to assure a nice matte look and hide small imperfections. The slide is also having the edges broken and sharp corners removed. Here I will be using a matte black finish. I will also be doing a Sig 228 with the same colors. I am sure this two tone fad will pass, but they look good now.
I have been quite pleased using this finish. I did about half a dozen guns over ten years ago and they all still look great. M1 carbine, Ruger Super Blackhawk, 380 Pony, Ruger Mk II, .45 Auto and 38 Off Duty.
