Pistol project- recomendations painting a sig 1911 fde

[GuiltySpark]

Looking for advice or help from anyone interested in assisting with a pistol project.

I want to take a black Sig Sauer 1911 tacops and make it look like Sigs field dark earth scorpion.

Can anyone recommend a company that I could send the pistol away to get Cerakote Flat Dark Earth finish?

Also can anyone suggest same colour/style grips as
Scorpions Hogue Custom G10# grips that would fit? (the g10 grips extend too far for the tacops base)

Blackbox and TacOrd comes to mind but I know I'm forgetting a couple others out on the west.

A member here had a gun I sold him done at Cerakote BC. It looked pretty good in the pix I saw.

Hogue makes similar grips as the Scorpion with no magwell: https://www.hogueinc.com/1911-govt-model-piranha-grip-g-mascus-green-g10

Yup!
Cerakote BC. He is a site sponsor here also. Send him a PM.

Nice, this is exactly what I wanted to do haha!! Post some pics when/if you end up doing it!

On topic: I had work done through BC Cerakote and can also give them the thumbs up.

Those are the grips I'll need, wicked. Thanks.



So how is Cerakote when it comes to quality an durability anyways? Will I have to baby the pistol after the Cerakote treatment? Does this stuff chip off or get ruined pretty easy?

Damnit I really can't decide to keep it black or run with tan. Bccerakote had really competitive prices.

Opinions on black VS tan?

If you're going with tan I like the contrast of a darker grip—I'd get the piranha grip in black.
