Title: I am Goofy- and am going to paint some Penn Sideplates
Post by: Joel.B on October 20, 2012, 04:00:55 PM
I have a couple of products I use on guns- Cerakote is a very strong bake-on finish that is pretty danged tough. Duracoat is an air-cure that is cheaper and much easier to apply- not as tough.

I am hot-rodding some 113s and 114s, I want to paint the sideplates in hotrod colors, maybe do the rings in accent colors.


I am thinking about going with this safety orange with flat black rings http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/finishes/H-243Q/

There are just too many colors to choose from.  That crimson red with black would look nice too.......John Deere Green/Yellow..........

WHat about taking a 113h "Tank" and painting it up like an old Sherman?      This is going to be fun

Go for it Joel, you could make one for me in red- white and blue stripes on one plate and for the opposite plate just change the blue with green ;D.

Wow joel, Menudo for brekfast, I couldn't do it. It is a nice winter dish for us, along with some pizza di granturco.


Sorry guys, we went from sideplates to beef stomach ;D

I grew up in So Cal, and grew up with Mexicans. If I have my choice I usually want a Mexican style dish, but I never could stomach Menudo. Just something about it.

He who would pick a pun would pick a pocket!!

Back to the topic at hand, I have seen some duracoat Mitchel 300s, and I think someones done it to a Senator on here. I personally love the idea, it would make the sides of my 113D match!!

Wouldn't dream of it - it's a good call.
I put pink braid on my daughter's reel and she was instantly keen to go fishing...
Whatever it takes to get 'em out there ;)
Good luck, Justin

I should buy some Pink Cerakote with my next order coming up.   I think reels with Pink plates would look really nice.  Squidders, Jigmasters, Senators....

The ceracote is much more durable,  I believe the plates can handle the 200 or so degrees to bake it on. I had my rem 870 slide duracoted, good stuff. I want to see the results for sure.
