I had a G24 slide hard chromed years ago and it looked great (but, damnit, has since been traded off). At the time (about 5 yrs. ago) it cost only $50 from Tripp Research in Alpine, Tx. but he no longer does this type of work. It is a simple operation and only requires you to send the slide to the customizer (the slide is not considered "a gun" so it can go USPS or any other method).

There are a couple of refinishers with pretty good reputations but I'll have to check to get their websites. One in Florida and one in Ohio or Michigan (somewhere up there). I'll do google firearm refinishing and see if I can locate them.

Metaloy, Industries - Professional Gun Finishing - hard chrome, blue and polymer finish

Hard Chrome Plating & Electroless Nickel Plating, Armalloy & Gun Bluing by Mahovsky's Metalife

Mahovsky and Fords are two that I've heard of before. There are more (maybe local to you) if you google gun hard chrome refinishing.

Thanks guys for the reply's

Check out this Glock 19 I found from GPI Customer Works!!!

I've been looking at the hard chrome plating from Glock | Buy pistol parts, glock pistols, pistol magazines, and more Only $75 bucks for the slide only, and good reviews from all I have found.

I called GPI today and they really helped me out. The customer service was amazing. She was very nice and answered every question I had. (I asked a lot of questions)

She gave me this web page and said GPI does all of these matches with frame color and slide color. This will be very helpful for anybody who is looking to customize their glock.

Go check it out. LINK = NIC Industries - Virtual Gun Coater

Great link, thanks.
