"Do you have to scuff up the park finish before cerakote or is it rough enough for application?"
The initial 120 grit aluminum oxide blast provides the 'rough' finish necessary for good adhesion.
The Parkerizing enhances adhesion even more, as well as adds a 2nd layer of protection.
"Q, how do you feel about using a Kimber as a base gun for the build out? Was that a customer requested build using the Kimber?"
Well I feel real good about it! Kimber uses good steel and heat treat on their slides, frames and barrels.
Dimensions are correct. Pin holes properly located.
Not a customer request. I built this one for myself.
Thanks for the kind words guys!
