Well, I have an old Walther P22, and the Black is all coming off the slide. Sshould I paint it; strip it, or leave it alone?
The slide's aluminum, so parkerizing's out. You could polish it for some bling, anodize it the color of your choice, or rattle can/cera/duracoat it.
Seriously, I agree with n8thegr8, polish it, it will look better and for the price, you'll come out ahead. Go getcher yourself some Flitz or Mother's Mag Polish and get after it. Pics before and after please. Hell, you got me motivated to do my black zinc Walther PPK/s .22now! Except it sounds like a little too much work for tonight...let us know how it works out, eh?
Cerakote it and it will look new again.
Check out the polish job I did on my Walther PPK/S. It came out okay...a little elbow grease and a new look. I think it was a better choice than a rattle can job and way cheaper than cerakoating the thing. I wouldn't do that to an expensive gun, but to a plinker , what the heck?
