[chromo]

I had a request to powder coat a hand gun. Haven't looked or asked what it is yet. I'm not really ready to do those right now. Maybe in a couple weeks.

My question is how to prep them for powder coating.
Do I just need to prep as normal, clean, polish etc.. or will some finishes such as blueing cause any problems with adhesion?

I am guessing Nickle plated I would treat like chrome? Could I do a Lolly right over the Nickle?
If painted I would need to strip paint?
If blued is that same as plain steel, or need removed? I'm guessing treat it as plain steel.

If I do the first one for him whatever it is, he has many more guns and I expect he'll want a few others done later if he likes the first one. Also his family is in law enforcement so if the first turns out good who knows, I may do some 9MM later also.
