Duracote and Hoosier Gun Coat

[menzzer37]

I have been trying for weeks to get a response out of Hoosier Gun Coat to have the slide of my Kimber Pro Tac Cerakoted or Duracoted. I need to have the slide done and some small accessories. I've emailed Hoosier Gun Coat probably 5 times and only ever gotten one resonse. I have yet to find a phone nubmer either. Does anyone know of another shop that's affordable and somewhat speedy?

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll give them a try. Ernie's work looks great, but I'm not impressed with the customer service...

I think he has been very busy trying to get his bluing operation set up lately. But I agree, that still isn't an excuse to completely drop a customer like that.

If he/they keep ignoring inquires like that, you won't have any competition...

I agree


To the OP have you thought about doing it yourself? I don't consider myself at all artistically talented, But I've had great results every time I've used Duracote. I've used it on several things.

It isn't hard to use at all. And the high costs people charge is a little crazy if you ask me. You can buy the needed materials to two tone a hand gun for less then $50 bucks.

It's not like spraying a car, I mean it's really hard to mess it up.

Aside from the cost issue, If you pay someone to do it for you then you have a duracoted gun. But if you do it yourself you get experience at doing it yourself and the next time you want to duracote something it will be that much easier. And you'll always find stuff that needs duracoted.

You can just go to walmart buy an air compressor and a air brush then return them when your done spraying your duracote. My lil brother discovered that trick. lol

I do not endorse this.

Do it yourself and KEEP the equipment .

Should I delete it?

I sleep like crap at night, but just because I really really need a new mattress. I have had the same air compressor for over ten years, My grand pa had it for maybe 20 years before I got it after he past away. It wasn't purchased at walmart.

If your area walmart is anything like mine then the air compressors on them shelves have more then likely already been returned a few times by people any way.

I went to buy a brand new xbox 360 from walmart, Before I left the store I noticed it had been opened and carefully retaped at the seal. So right there at the register a manager opened the box and there inside was a dirty, used, 360 with a cracked faceplate and broken disc tray.


I honestly would rather people not do it as well but that don't mean people are going to stop it. Way to many are already doing it, Go to my Walmart and every single laser bore sighter they have has been opened and then stapled back closed. lol Walmart don't care enough to do anything about it so what makes anyone think it will ever change?

I didn't and don't do that kind of thing. My brother did it because he need an air compressor for one day. I was only listing an option for people that may not have any.

I'm Sorry for trying to help. I had a helpful post with one bad sentence, Allow the flooding of negative reputation to begin I guess.

Just because other people do it, doesnt make it right for you to do.... SET THE EXAMPLE....

but more important is dont encourage OTHER people to do it...

just because YOU can justify it to YOURSELF, doesnt make it right.

If someone needed an air compressor for just one day, I would try a tool rental place. Surely they'd have one available for a "not brand new" price.

 

[IndyGunworks]

or borrow one

Again everyone I'm really sorry. I don't behave that way and I don't know why I was stupid enough to suggest others do.

I inserted my foot about as deeply as it can possibly fit into my mouth.

In closing, I still recommend the OP do the duracote yourself, If you don't you'll never figure out just how easy it is to work with.

Ok, I was confused. Sorry guys, carry on.

Believe me when I say we've all said things on here that we thought twice about later.

Thanks for setting the record straight. Reps to you!
