I've been looking for local shops to Cerekote my stripped lower, stripped upper and hand-guard. Most quotes have been around $50 to $70 per part depending on the shop, certified or not. The three parts together would run me $150 to $210 + tax. However, here is the quote I got from Gunsmoke 45 inc.;
"...it will run you around $700-900 for the parts in one color. at the moment we are 1.5 years out on gunsmithing work and it will be 2-3 months be for we will be taking on new work.
Wow, that would be double for what I paid for the parts! A tad on the high side, but that's just my 2 cents.
