Smith And Wesson old and worn to new again
This Smith & Wesson 1911 came in needing serious help. The before photo shows a finish in pretty poor condition, worn and patchy.
Tom took his time, cleaned it up, stripped the old worn finish and gave it new life in Cerakote Graphite Black. The after shot shows a smooth, even black that makes the pistol look new again.
Restorations like this start with stripping everything down to bare metal. Any old finish left behind can cause the new coating to fail, so the stripping and blasting stages are where most of the time goes.
Graphite Black is a dark, slightly charcoal tone that looks classic on a 1911, and it suits the lines of this Smith. If your pistol is looking rough, a refresh can make a big difference. Request a quote today.
