Refinishing FAQs
Pricing is available for estimating purposes only. Actual prices may vary. Please use our Cajun Estimator to get accurate quotes on your refinishing project.
CZ slides and frames are cast which occasionally results in small casting flaws being present under the factory polycote. Most of the flaws we see are small dimples in the surface. There is no way to know if a firearm has casting flaws present until the factory coating has been removed. Cerakote will usually cover these flaws but electroplating like, chrome, DLC, etc. will not. They are rare but cannot be removed from CZ frames since they are cast. When choosing to refinish your firearm you are accepting that casting flaws are possible and not removable.
Refinish projects with a frame and slide will have an added labor fee of $40 minimum if you are also having a package (pro package, standard package, etc.) installed or a labor fee of $90 will be assessed if no package is being installed. If your work order is not completed in enough reasonable detail for the work to be completed, additional labor charges may be applied to cover time spent discussing the project with our gunsmiths.
We are no longer offering a high polish option with any coating.
Controls – firearm parts that you interact with directly such as triggers, hammers, safety/decocker levers, slide stop, mag release, etc.
Although most refinish projects can typically be completed within the 12-week time quoted on our website, we cannot guarantee the turnaround.
