CZ82 Refinish.....no turning back now

Got her stripped down.....all the way. Sure hope I can put it back together. Not sure what kind of finish I'll go with, but I'm leaning toward a two-tone black/stainless with wood grips. Then again, I may just go all black. After seeing it like this, maybe all stainless with black grips? So many options.

I vote 2 tone with the wood grips.

Do the same finish we did on the 66 with dark wood grips. Tape it off from the inside before blasting.

Wish it was mine, it's a buddy's wife's car gun. He sent off to somewhere in Tenn and had it done like that.

That makes me want one and get it done for myself.

The two tone grew on me, I want one now...

Some good looking 82s there! What did you use to strip the finish with?

Glass beads. It was slow, but I didn't want to mess up the surface, especially not knowing what might have been under the original coating.

Those look sweet! I am keeping mine the stealth black.

Is it me or is the slide stop spring FLIMSY AS YOU KNOW WHAT on these models?? Still waiting for a replacement/upgrade one in the mail.
