Cost of Cerakote / rebluing of slide

[stroker-c10]

I was wondering if you guys could give me some ballpark figures on what it would cost to have a slide reblued or cerakote'd. I will probably be trading off my girlfriend's P3AT for a ruger LCP and there is some wear on the slide. Nothing too significant but she would eventually like to have it redone. Thanks fellas.

that looks like rust, not wear. either way, that will probably not come out without some metal removal; if all you want is it brought down to bare metal and the recoatd to stop corrosion, cerakote is the way to go.
Youll probably be better off just knocking 50 off the price if it werent worn and just selling it as is.
When i was doing coating, I charged around 50 for a recoat.

Thanks for the input Mike. Thats kind of what I was wondering too. Looks like we are going the new gun route.
