Our Process
The first step is to contact us to provide the information on what you are looking to have done. With that info we generate a price quote that details the work. Once everything looks good, you can schedule an appointment to drop off your items and look at color swatches, or ship your items via appropriate means. We do not ask for deposits; payment is due at time of pick up or before we ship the items back to you. If you are sending a firearm or NFA item, you can send it directly to us along with a copy of your government photo ID, and we can ship it back to the address shown on that ID.
When we receive your items, we degrease everything, plug holes and mask off various areas to keep blast media out of internals and sand blast surfaces to prepare the coating. Unlike some other companies that just rough up the existing finish, we completely remove it to maintain more uniform color and material thickness across all the parts.
After that, the parts are racked in various ways to minimize “witness marks”; the small surface areas that will not get the finish because the part was hung at that point. We take great care and pride in racking parts; most will not have a witness mark at all! The parts are then heated to make sure no oils remain in the part that can affect the durability of the finish.
Once cooled, the parts go into the spray room, and the real excitement begins. The finish is applied using only Anest-Iwata guns and airbrushes, utilizing stencils and masking as needed to meet your desired look.
After curing, the parts are test-fitted or assembled per agreement, and pictures of the final result will be sent to you to make sure you are happy before you receive the parts. Finish thickness is sampled with our electronic thickness test tools to ensure a uniform finish that meets application min/max requirements. We know of no other shop that goes to this extent of quality checks to ensure a quality job.
