    Reddot rifles also does gunkote. Was pretty resonable when I had a chassis stock coated. Quick turn around and good communications. Rang me when he'd recieved it to clarify what I wanted. Let me know when it was on the way back and then checked everything was fine a few days later. Was about a week from sending it to getting it back inc rural delivery. Think he's got a pricelist on his website.

    Be keen to see how it wears Gibo. I've got a couple of shooters to do as well but unsure of direction now that Victor is not with us.

    I have been supplying Gunkote to both Tony Reid ( Red Dot Rifles ) and Brent Sandow ( Milspec Coatings ) for about 10 years . Both do excellent work highly recommend both of them . Also have Webster Gunsmith ( Blenheim ) , Spec Firearm Coatings ( Mt Maunganui ) that also coat firearms .

    Got any contacts for Spec Coatings in the Mt? How do they stack up against the others? Only reason I ask is I'd like to support local business where I can.

    The main problem with just selling the GunKote is that people don't follow the directions properly then bag the product on forums because it didn't work , for the best finish blasting metal parts with aluminium oxide is required and not everyone has access to the right equipment or they just don't degrease properly .
