I have a early 1964 model Colt SP1 What color should it be on upper, lower and barrel? If I refinished it with moly-resin should I use gray, dark gray or black? Thanks in advance. |

Available Colors GRAYISH-BLACK Flat Dark gray-black coloration with a flat appearance. This duplicates the appearance of the early original Colt AR-15/M-16 finish. This is the same product that is purchased from us by the U.S. Military to refinish Colt M-16's. BLACK Flat Black in coloration with a non-reflective dull matte appearance. This a slightly darker shade compared to the above Grayish-Black Moly Resin™. Norrell Manufacturing supplies this Mil-Spec finish to the sub-contractors that manufacture US SOCOM (U.S. Special Operations Command) products for H&K and the U.S. Military such as the sound suppressor for the H&K Mark 23 SOCOM .45 Cal. pistol used by the Navy Seals and Special Forces. It is also used by a number of firearm manufacturers. Our most popular color. BLACK Semi-Gloss Black in coloration with a slight gloss that is similar in appearance to the H&K (Heckler & Koch) type finish. Good match to H&K, UZI, and other similar semi-gloss black guns. GRAY Flat A match to older gray military parkerizing but without any green overtones. A basic medium gray. GREENISH-GRAY Flat This is an exact Mil-Spec color match to the U.S. Military parkerizing seen on older military firearms there are turned slightly green due to storage in cosmoline. GREEN Flat (Olive Drab) Olive (flat) drab green that is a match to U.S. Military OD green. Also used by a well-known U.S. handgun manufacturer for their .45 cal. pistols and shotguns. TAN Flat, BROWN Flat, and OFF-WHITE Flat Basic Camo colors STAINLESS STEEL Powdered stainless steel metal mixed with clear phenolic Moly Resin. Gives the appearance of brushed stainless steel when applied over any type of metal. A pleasantly surprising match to real stainless. Used primarily to color match small parts such as scope rings, bases, and other parts, etc. when they are not available in stainless. For best match to brushed stainless, this coating is recommended to be sprayed over a smooth non-abrasive air blasted surface. CLEAR COAT Moly Resin phenolic resin with no coloration pigments or additives for lubrication. Can be applied over a cured colored Moly Resin coating or to bare metal. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright © 2003 John Norrell Arms, Inc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd say the greyish Black, I did some parts with several of the colors and that is the closest to the early Colt stuff, Very close, and my favorite Norrells color |
Mine was SP01475, probably made mid 1964 or so. Do NOT refinish your rifle man, it's a piece of history! |
I've got a 3XX and a 6XX. I've only seen 1 other in three digit range, and that was a 2XX. These are pics of my 3XX.
