It used to be cars were black and chrome but now we can buy new cars in many colors, and the sky is the limit for aftermarket paint jobs. Plus car wraps for the true custom look. It's nice to see gun companies adding some color to their products.seeker_two wrote:If it sells, more power to the gun companies.....besides, I'm glad they've discovered that there are more colors in existence than black or stainless.....
It would be nice, but I don't think it's possible. The surface finish of the base metal is very critical when trying to get a smooth and uniform coating of bluing or plating. I think that the old Colt Royal Blue required a lot of hand polishing and buffing that would probably be too costly for today's consumers. Probably the chemicals that they used were not too environmentally friendly.seeker_two wrote:....I wonder if there's a way that these new color techniques could reproduce the old-style bluing that Colt and S&W used to put on revolvers.......
I used to feel the exact same way! My quote was "It's a self-defense tool, not a fashion accessory!" But boy, I've almost come around full circle. If a little color and a little personalization is the difference between a citizen choosing to start shooting or not, then I guess a little color is a good thing. I do still get a little irritated at the gun store owner that pushes a pink gun on the "little lady."Divided Attention wrote:I am an old fuddy duddy I guess.

I worry with the pink, blue, digi-cammo etc. that kids will think they are toys. Of course that won't be a problem, because all parents are responsible and ensure their weapons are kept out of the hands/reach of children.
I guess I am sorta ornery today....
I know a couple women at work that might get this one just because of the "Coach" design. I haven't yet and probably won't, but I have thought about getting mine coated with some kind of pattern that would make it less obvious if accidentally exposed. I know, I know, "accidentally", but it still might keep the MWG call from being placed.McKnife wrote:See attachment:
A different take on a "Coach" gun.
Even I would carry this one. lol
Good thought...maybe this trend could also aid concealment....C-dub wrote:

This I know....that's why I'm wondering if the new techniques might be able to reproduce classic bluing colors like the Colt Royal Blue without the intensive labor, toxic chemicals, or excessive costs....WildBill wrote:It would be nice, but I don't think it's possible.
