Title: Teflon Coated Witness Slide....Before and after pics
Post by: DenStinett on January 24 2014 12:32:45 PM MST
I've been looking to change the Finish on my Witness Slide since I bought them
Never cared much for sighting over a silver Slide and I DO love the DuoTone look, so I looked into Black Ice Coating, here in Spanish Fork, Utah; http://www.blackicecoatings.com/

Lee runs a very nice business and deals with his Customers, one on one
I went in and talked with him about colors, settled on the Matte Black Teflon and dropped-off my Witness Compact and Long Slides
The job took less than three weeks and is exactly what I was looking for

Here are a few before and after pictures of my Witness and its "new" Slides:

I like this line from their web site: 

'We do not offer a warranty as we do not have guns come back. Our Black Ice DOES NOT peel, chip, flake or wipe off.'

Seems like, if they never go bad, you could safely offer a lifetime guarantee, since you'd never have to make good on it.

When Lee (the owner) says "If you have ANY issue, let me know" that tells me the Warranty is implied and doesn't need to be in writing
Some people have integrity and some need a Lawyer

Those are very nice. Congratulations. It looked like the adjustable sight on the long slide also got refinished. That is a very nice looking handgun.
