They won't refinish frames, but if you have a warranty issue call them and see how they offer to handle it.Yes call and set it up over the phone and they will get you squared away. I believe there is an email form on the website as well if you rather initiate contact through email.
Has anyone ever had them do a frame? I know they say on the sheet that they won't but I have one that I believe must have had moisture in it as it is flaking off in odd areas.

You get what you pay for.Call me crazy, but I find it hard to cough up $99 for a Nitron job when the guy down the road Cerakotes slides with heat bake stuff for $35 per.
SIGs are like owning a BMW or a Porsche.Call me crazy, but I find it hard to cough up $99 for a Nitron job when the guy down the road Cerakotes slides with heat bake stuff for $35 per.
My decision would go the other way on that every time.Call me crazy, but I find it hard to cough up $99 for a Nitron job when the guy down the road Cerakotes slides with heat bake stuff for $35 per.
He has done 5 for me so far and the results are no less than stellar. Check out his site: arclightprecision.comYou get what you pay for.
SIG will refinish (re-blue) the slide but won't touch the frame. For that you have to go elsewhere for some type of coating. I had CCR refinish a P245 frame and extra slide with their version of ceracoat. Came out nice.Been eyeing a P245 at a LGS but it has some pitting in some spots. Slide and maybe frame.
What kind of refinishing options do I have?
Unless I'm wrong, the 245 uses a carbon steel "folded" slide. In most cases they could "bead blast" it with fine granulation sand to get any rust from the bottom of the pits. Then do a "hot blue" refinish, with a matte luster due to the bead blasting. This would be necessary, to rid it of any pre-existing rust, since it is easy for it to "creep". Besides bluing, you could go to a non standard phosphate finish, (Parkerizing) which holds oil a little better than bluing, to make it a little more rust resistant. You also have the choice to also plate the carbon steel slide, but again you need to get rid of any present rust, or the finish will start to develop problems, as nothing adheres to rust for very long. That includes "coating" type finishes!Been eyeing a P245 at a LGS but it has some pitting in some spots. Slide and maybe frame.
