Cobalt Armor of guns

[strayerv40]

Hello everyone,

Relatively new to this site but love Caswell and their products, and get GREAT support from Jason and especially Craig. I'm a full time chemistry teacher and part time shooter and decided to try to open a business refinishing race type firearms. I would love to find others out there using copy chrome on guns or any other hard use materials subject to heat and friction of moving parts. This Cobalt finish seems almost indestructable and I've had great success in a short time and would be interested in comparing/sharing ideas out there with anyone interested. Go to www.plate-tacular.com to check out some pics and please be honest with any recommendations.

Thanks,
Daniel

Yea, Actually thats the whole reason i went i out looking for a place to buy this stuff, and what's even better that they have cobalt. thus reducing the wear on the bolt carrier group, ect. but i have yet to buy and try it out but would really llike to know if the cobalt plating is paintable? or is it unable to be painted due to it possibly being to hard of a surface or not pourous enough. i dunno please help

Nice work! What I saw.
My only comment is the photos are small but they must be large in file size (resolution). It takes forever to load the page on dialup. In fact, after five minutes, I got three and a half photos and killed it. You might want to decrease the pixel resolution. Not much benifit to pictures over 90ppi on the web. Most displays show only 70-90ppi anyway. Those pictures shouldn't need to be more than about a couple Kb each.
