I'd leave it alone, but it's your gun. Nice range gun BTW.

I wouldn't do anything with it, but hey, different strokes for different folks. Knock yourself out!

This Colt had some cracks tig welded on the frame near the main spring housing after it was dropped.
Being an aluminum frame Commander, the black anodizing finish was ruined, so I had Mike at Northwest Gun Refinishing Cerakote it.
The grips are buffalo horn. I am very happy with the results and the color scheme Mike came up with.

I had my 1911 cerakoted with a desert tan frame and a black slide.
Personally I like it. Then again, I wasnt concerned with resale or a cool factor. I just thought it looked good.

I like two tone 1911's. When the finish was worn on my carry pistol it went from being all black oxide to a black slide and SS frame. So I would say go for it... I believe Wilson makes a two tone just like your rendering

Wow that is awesome looking, I would say definantly go with what you like, but I guarantee you will get alot of folks who will stop and drool.

BiTone'ing is for polymer framed guns. It's the closest you can get to a stainless steel model.

It's not a feature, it's a "Make Do"

Why muck up a beautiful Stainless Colt?

If you decide to move forward, just do the frame and all other components black.

The Wilson classic supergrade is a two tone. I like the look quite a bit.



You might call this a 2 tone as well, and I love this one:

Full custom build - Stuart Nuss - 1911 Officer's frame with a commander length damascus slide and Schuemann ported match barrel in 45acp

My like dislike of bi-tone depends on the combination of colors and intended use. Silv7 that color combination can be found on the Springfield Loaded operator and lightweight champion models. I for one am partial to that color scheme and if I can every pull together the cash for a 1911 the lightweight champion is on my short list.

Some nice looking 1911s on here. Thanks to the rest for sharing.

The original production two-tone 1911;




I prefer black/blued over SS, than some of the newer models that are reverse.

 

[bt97006]

I'm a fan...

Black slide over a silver frame would be the way to go:

Two pics of Norinco 1911's in a row must be some sort of landmark event.
But two norinco 1911's with almost the same refinishing job seems like some sort of omen.
