Well since this thread came up and it’s my work figured I would tell the story to give you guys a better understanding.
The cerakote was applied with iron sight (night sights) installed on the slide and I was recommend to not remove them before doing the work. This means not correctly sandblasted, not correctly soaked in acetone and not correctly cooked. This project was also a same day turn around as required by the slide owner.
A 100% refund was offered and the opportunity to coat it again for free with the sights removed has been offered.
At the time it seemed like the coating was applied correctly give the requirements to get the job done. Looking at it now we should have followed the correct steps during the application process and this is why a refund was offered.
At the end of the day. It looks good now.
If it was to be done again, the sights needs to be pulled, it needs to be properly cleaned, colored and cooked but looks like the owner has decided to keep it how it is and this is probably because he is a busy guy. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes finding a simple fix is the best solution.
As I stated to the slide owner and on here. A full refund still stands. All I need is a PayPal email address. It’s not going to hurt my feelings. I would not have offered it if I didn’t mean it.
And for the record. I don’t believe the slide owner hates me or anything. This chipping was just annoying since no one had expected it to happen. I believe he also knows the steps taken were not the normal steps to get the job done.
He didn’t come on here to bash me, he came on here to tell his experience. I didn’t come on here to bash him, I came on here to tell of the process.
