The Aurora Finish

[REDRT]

I thought that was called a gasoline effect. I think I saw that on WWA or something.

Nope that is how it is sometimes discribed, but "Aurora" is what Planet Eclipse called it.

I've got an Aurora Eclipse Imp. It looks really nice in person. I have also contatced Eclipse several times asking about the process and who could do it for me. Even with the fact the body could get screwed or at least have the finish turn out bad, I'd would be willing to risk it if I could actually find someone to do it. Aurora Karta anyone .......?

The finish is slightly chipped in some areas, but I think it's from playing and not the finish itself. I bought it off of Ledz years ago (a factory player, he still works there) and had it shipped to me from the UK. It was definately a custom job because aside from the body having the finish it has matching Fangs button cover, Boomstick tip, drop, vert Max-flo, front Cap, everything. The only thing I don't like about the gun is the feedneck is like four inches tall.

PVD:
physical vapor deposition is what the process is called





when eclipse told me I could never find out what the finish was or where to get it I went on a tare to find out
I know of two shops in the US offering it.

magmonkey- Are you sure they will use PVD on aluminum though? I know it is much easier to do with steel than aluminum, which is why many knives have the same finish.

Who cares about aluminum?! SS mag bodies are like $15!! just make a rad looking mag! The wieght is worth it.... but thats just me.

if you really want it and you want a light gun, go for a titanium body, this should work much better on titanium.

I bought one of those kershaw onions for my ex last year. The finish seemed quite durable to me.
