Help Me Decide on a Cerakote Color

[druryj]

I really like this pistol; a Ruger SR 1911 Lightweight Commander style. But; I'm not crazy about the grayish frame. It's just not enough contrast with the slide for my taste. I wish Ruger had done the frame to either match the slide or else significantly darker, like maybe a graphite gray or satin black or something. I like the stainless slide fine though. So how about y'all help me pick out a good color to refinish the frame?

Black frame. Leave the slide as-is

FDE or tittie pink

Black frame here too. If it were mine, I'd do tungsten on the frame and graphite black on the slide.

Darn. I think it looks great the way it is. If it was mine, I'd keep it that way. If I was ordering one, I think I might just order it like that.

A little off subject, but who does a good cerakote finish that doesn't charge and arm and a leg? I have two rifles that I'd like the change the color of the furniture on. (Buttstock, forearm, pistol grip). I could take them off and they wouldn't have to deal with that part of it.

Burk, have I seen that pistol before? Now back to Joel's question. I like a black slide and a stainless frame.

Is tungsten like a really dark gray?

Yes but it looks more metallic like bead blasted stainless than the other gray offerings.
