Cerakote Armor Black vs Graphite Black

[rbabbitt767]

I am interested in re-finishing a 1911 in Cerakote and am trying to find pictures of Armor Black. So far, I haven't had much luck. I am looking for a flat, dull, matte black. If anyone has pictures of the Armor Black coating they could post, I'd really appreciate that.

On a side note, who is generally considered the best person or outfit to coat a gun in Cerakote? I have a Jardine built 1911 that is in need of a re-finish, and I'm very weary of the tolerances being altered.

I've only had them do small jobs for me...I can't testify to their work on an entire gun, but I've found Alternative Firearms Coatings (http://www.acoating.com/) to do good work, reasonable price, good communication. Look at their website, email them, get a quote. They'll match anyone's price.
