Anyone here have or seen a jeweled surface, hammer, trigger, bolt, etc that has been finished in Melonite (or other trade name for ferritic nitrocarburizing) afterward? I have a gun that has a jeweled hammer and trigger that I'd like to have refinished using this method but I'm not sure how it would turn out.
It would be easy if I didn't particularly care for the jeweled look but I kinda do but I also want the benefit of these parts being treated/finished...I'm concerned that running it through the (insert trade name here) finish would:
a) Hide/blackout the jeweling
b) Make it look goofy
Since the qpq process is a finish/treatment and not a coating, there's no buildup. I would think something should print through, unless it makes it so dark it can't be seen.
