    fininsh for stainless

    I have been looking to blacken a mag body. Can stainless be ano'ed? If not are there any other processes that can blacken the stainless to get the effect of ano?

    I’ve powder coated a couple bodies before. They came out real nice.

    Cerekote works great. I have my Minimag body Cerekoted and it has held up very well.

    no you can only anodize aluminum. powder coating and cerekote or hydrodipping are your best bet for a stainless body unless you can find someone who can apply a Teflon coating like came from the factory.

    Anyone ever tried black oxide or nitride?

    You can use black oxide on stainless steel.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
