One of my brothers from church, turned real good family friend is a retired SWAT negotiator. He mentioned his Beretta safety was broken. I had an extra one so I offered to install it for him. When I picked it up, I noticed it was very worn, which I think is awesome, and what's more awesome is that it was his duty pistol for 30 years. Well, he wanted new life (wanted me to paint it and wanted new grips) for his sentimental Beretta, so I did what I could.
I had some brand new VZ grips laying around and painted it with my favorite paint for guns. I use engine enamel (for clarification refer to post #4) paint because it bakes on in the hot sun and is so durable that even the action of the slide going back, or chambering another shotgun round has not shown any real wear over the years. I can't say wether or not it's better than cerakote, but its just as good.
Anyway, I was happy to do this for him and I'm really proud of the job I did, so I thought I'd share it.
God bless.
