Want to Buy Star BM

[Gingerbeard Man]

Yep. Look at the H-series and Elite series. Those are the two we use on firearms. Elite series is a little glossy, and has fewer color selections, but it's hands down the best coating cerakote has. H-series is great too, and has a ton of color options.

I'll check them out and get it sent off to you. If I'm down that way before, I'll just drop it off.

Thanks. Just need to figure a color or colors. Can I just use
https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating for selections?

I dig Burnt Bronze on some things but for this I think Titanium or Satin Silver. I would definitely want a stainless or matte stainless type finish on this pistol. BTW my other favorite candidate for this project would be a CZ82.

Met up with C Capnmike today. A true gentleman. If you are one of the lucky ones to have met Mike, I'm 100% sure you'd agree. Anyways, we had been chatting about his Star Super B over the last few weeks. Today I brought it home and added it to the Star collection. Thanks again for the Star and the good conversation, Mike. I look forward to meeting up again sometime in the future.

Heyoooooo!
Thanks for the meet up and good chat @KatTom

As luck would have it, someone close by has another chrome one I'll be picking up tomorrow. Luckily this one is around the corner from my house. I think at that point I'll be complete and content.

Estrella Con Sabroso!
no direct English translation. It basically comes out as “tasty or attractive” or just “makes me drool”..

A buddy of mine has gone in the other direction. Deconstructing his Star 9mm to bear metal. I wish I had a pic. He plans on cerakoting but the stripped steel looked pretty cool.

I like the look of bare metal. The problem is it won't stay that way for long. Cerakote is a good option. I have a Ruger Charger in almost bare metal, but most parts are stainless or aluminum and I coated the receiver with Everbrite so it won't go bad. Although I kind of want it to look aged.

Super cool! Does your wife have any idea how much you got in that one?

Zing! Good question. None of my biz but keep the “aged look” skip the Everbrite and when she calls you out say “these rusty things? Just old surplus.” ahhahe that’ll work, right.

Sure is handsome. One of my favorite looks in a handgun is a stainless kimber with rosewood grips, 1911 in 9 mm. Like the Micro 9.

Haha just like my motorstinkles, she just goes along for the ride. I have a rare one for sure.
