Pistol to refinish in SW WA

[Blackcobra]

I picked up a Desert Eagle .50AE today that I would like to get refinished. I'm thinking Cerakote, but thought I would check here first for others' opinions. Anyone prefer any of the other coatings to Cerakote? Duracoat or Hard Chrome, maybe?

Also, is there a good local place to have this done?

should have bought the S&W and you would not have had to refinish it.

Check the NIC site for the closest certified Cerakote applicator near you.

Did that - just hoping to get some personal recommendations. I do believe I have decided on Cerakote, though!

Awesome - thanks. The first thing I saw on their website is a DE finished exactly how I want it!

hard chrome will last forever, looks "whiter" than stainless, easier to clean, better corrosion resistance. Or you could go ahead and slather some paint like crap on it.

Hard Chrome is all that except for corrosion resistant. Cerakote beats it huge.

+1 cerakote - but it needs to be done properly or it can look a mess
