I contacted Ron's yesterday and although there is no denying the beauty of a carbonia finish, I am reluctant to pursue it. My intention was to purchase a new PPK/S and have it re-finished to get the gloss black finish that I wanted, and their (Paul's?) comments suggested that even with new firearms, and especially a PPK/S (he didn't sound thrilled at the prospect of working on this piece), there could be a ton of prep and polishing needed. So, I hear you on the price comment. If I was dealing with a full-on classic restoration, I might go this route, but given that I am only trying my hand at a 'little' personalization of a very common, firearm, I'm inclined to keep looking for a more affordable alternative to carbonia.
Still looking for advice on a gloss black 'piano' finish!
