Ok…
FINALLY got the cerakoted slide back, from the coater…
He did a great job, even though it took a long time.
Xmas, and all that.
He said he WONT do any more gelblasters, as he only releases high quality work, and the cheap chinese metal took a LOT of work, to get it reasonable for coating.
In the oven 3/4 times, still leeching oils from the metals, it needed to be soaked in a special solution, and then all the dags filed off. He said the cheap metals are crap, and the same on lower quality real steel as well.
It came out looking good, a very close match to the gen2 kele, and a good match with the flat black rustoleum.
This is a night shot, but you can see the finish / sharpness of stenciling…
Not in focus 100%.
Still work to do, its “quick assembled for show”, not finished glueing yet.
The slide is super stiff ( cerakoted bulked up) and will need some relieving, for better cocking. i’ll have to epoxy the supp, to the L nozzle.
I like the look without the supp as well, i’ll order another wesker kit from the states, to A) have a spare, and B) be able to swap to L nozzle only if desired.
Special thanks, to @Friendly_Fire , for his help with his drill press, to get the bottom hole drilled and tapped, to hold the nozzle in place…
