Great job there.

Did you do anything to it before applying the duracoat? I was going to us gunkote on mine and am not sure if I want to spend the money for a blast box to blast and then park it before I use the gunkote. I've got 3 Romy kits I need to start on sometime soon.

I used an industrial degreaser to remove all the gunk. used a dremel buffer wheel to smooth out all the sloppy machine marks and duracoated it using a preval sprayer. I actually sprayed it lightly with 3 coats with about an hour wait between coats. I also have a springfield xd9 with a stainless slide that I duracoated black as well that turned out AWESOME. I always wanted the black slide model but it came out a couple of years after I purchased mine. Thanks for the nice comments. I appreciate it
