She's got a date to get this paint redone with Duracoat because right now it is just spray paint. Originally a duo-tone, now tan and OD green. Gun is out of commission until Duracoated:
I'm thinking it might be the ankle holster I carry it in. I know I lost the rear sight as well while carrying it, although not sure how. But I was real let down by the original finish. This gun is only a year and half old.
I had a Duotone a few years back and it had the same issue with the finish. It just didn't hold up. I bought it used never checked to see how old it was. I think about 3 years old at the time. I ended up taking it apart and polishing the slide until it looked like a mirror. It was not easy and I had some help from a special machine at my friends machine shop. Only trouble I had after that was keeping people from drooling on the finish LOL. I think the colors you picked make it unique and since it's not really a collectors item or anything I would say whatever floats you boat is cool!
Doing anything to a gun is hard for me. This poor little thing almost got traded away last year for a Mike Franklin custom knife (Mr. Franklin actually wanted the gun). But I felt like I was ripping him off because the knife was worth about $150 more than the gun so it didn't go down. However, painting this one seemed alright. I've wanted to do something like this to one of my guns, but I can't imagine doing it to any of the others.
My wife wants me to coat her bersa .380 pink!told her they dont make pink duracoat. then she found out they do. been delaying for a while now I think she finally forgot about it or was just giving me a hard time.
