Just curious...have any of you with the tan/earth coated guns, coated/had coated, the black parts - slide release, the decocker, the slide stop, trigger and or sights, or any combination of the above ?
Seriously thinking of doing some if not all of the above. It looks like a 10 year olds toy as it is.

And yes, I know what I bought...had this in mind when I started the buying procedure.

The SF Hive mainly uses these guys for coatings and refinish:

CoyoteKiller
Both are active SF members.
Contact either of them and they will take good care of you.

Are you talking about cerokoting the controls to black or from black to tan to match? I'm thinking of cerokoting one of my 1911s to coyote tan this weekend along with the controls.

Have a P229 no rail that I purchased in the last week that was completely done by CCR.
It's an older triple serial numbered pistol that probably had some wear on it. It looks good now.
I wouldn't hesitate to get one refinished.

If I understood you correctly, you're thinking of turning the existing controls from black to matching the Cerakote color the rest of the gun already is.

If that's the case, I'd say do what you think is best for you. The only Cerakote (or similar finish) gun I have is a SIG R516 FDE. Strictly on aesthetics, the base controls came in black, as well as the dust cover, buffer tube, charging handle, and other incidental parts. For me I prefer the contrast, especially since the barrel, flash hider and gas block are black and I'm reluctant to modify the finish of those pieces. So having a few parts finished in black across the rest of the rifle provides some continuity. An AR has a lot more surface area than a pistol so a direct comparison is a bit different, but to me if everything on my rifle were done in the same tone of FDE I'd tend to think it rather monotonous and bland. YMMV.

Yep...all one (or mostly) color.
Not sure what to do with the sights...

Thanks guys.

Mike
