Rifle coatings?

[capt_joe]

I have a blued Ruger MK II. I'm thinking about having it coated/ or coating it myself. I have painted some older/cheaper guns before with good results. But I'd like to enhance the value of the rifle not lower the value. Names of products/gun smiths/etc. would be real helpful.

Sorry I cannot see how painting a rifle can increase it's value the same applies to powder coating. Unless of course you are talking about an Enfield N04 which was painted often with Suncorite so that would be OK. But a Ruger painted?

To me it just lost any value it had except for parts.

I have a project 1911 handgun. Im going to have a Robar finnish put on it. This finish has better rust preventoin, than Parkerized finnish. I dont know if this will increase the value. Its just a more durable finnish than blue.

Hope this helps http://www.robarguns.com/

I have a Remington model 700 in .350 mag that is coated with Robar NP-3 coating and I can attest to the quality of the work and the finish as both being first class all the way

I am planning on putting on a teflon finish on action parts, perhaps on a revolver if that works out. I bought the stuff from Brownells. It needs to be baked cured.
