Cerakote?

[deo62]

Whats a ballpark figure for a 1911 frame to have cerakoted?

Probably around a $75 if I had to guess

Around 50-75. It would save you some money if you take everything apart and reassemble yourself.

To make it look "tacti-cool" of course!
Seriously though, a Cerakote finish is all but hard as nails. No more worries about rust.
Generally MUCH easier to clean.
Looks great if done properly and so many color choices...

Actually thinking about the MC operator but don't care that much for the green frame.

Thank you for the response. Is there any down side to having this done to a weapon?

Besides everyone droppin their panties when you whip it out?

I'd say the biggest downside would be, it's a personal choice. If you were to go to resell it later, you may struggle if the colors are odd. Also, it's important to find someone who knows what they are doing. It could cause issues of it gets in places it shouldn't be.

That would be my next question-who around central/northern Indiana does a good job?

So you can make it look like you want it to.....

AllenM (Moore gunworks/Diamond collision) is in Avon and has done many quality cerakote jobs.

AllenM does all of mine and my buddys work but he is in Avon.

And then sell it before you let your friends see their old gun again.

+1 on this. They did a great job cerakoting my AR in burnt bronze.
