jdkno Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have been looking at all of the B&R Reps as well as looking at as many gens as I can find pictures of. I noticed one thing that seems to stand out to me the most. B&R website calls the factory "PVD" coating Black Carbon Powdercoat. I also noticed that in every gen pic I see the finish is a nice and uniform flat balck, much like the finishes you see on firearms. The rep PVD finish does not look nearly as uniform, or nearly as deep. I have also looked at pics of ajoesmith's PVD and from what I can tell while it looks closer to gen then the rep PVD it still does not look the part. Has anyone held a gen to confirm how the gen coating looks? I re-coated a Glock slide with a coating called duracoat. It is applied with an airbrush and leaves a very even flat-matte black coating that is very thin and very durable. I am wondering if this type of coating would not be closer to gen than PVD???
