Demolition Man
Williams, 1994Edit: I eventually heard back from Mike Chestnut & all is good.
Is there anyone out there who can re-chrome my Demo Man gun handles for me?
I've tried contacting Mike Chestnut several times via e-mail with no response (must be too busy).
Can you guys recommend anyone else? If so, any pics of their work?
Thanks!
Mike is AWOL till Sept. Try him after the 3rd. Also if the handles are not metal he can't do them. I know there was a thread for chroming plastic parts with suggestions. Maybe someone can supply the thread for you.-Joe

Have you checked with a local gunsmith?
i did mine in stainless steel powdercoat and clear over top. looks sick and does not leave a metal smell on your hands like older chrome or steel etc.

Sound like a great idea! Mine are needing to be re-finished and not sure if mine are plastic or metal but right now the prior owner had spray painted them black...yuck..
Can you explain a little more on how you did them or better yet, post a few pics?
ooo yea black paint would look bad......I will get pictures to post here..might take till tomorrow though. You will know if they are metal when you take them off and I am sure they are metal. Just have them sand blasted and powdercoat them up. Looks awesome. I did my t2 gun and coin door in the same colors ... stainless and clear and it looks amazing.
Looking forward to seeing the pics...
Where did you have the stainless steel powdercoat done or did you do it yourself?
we do all of our powdercoating ourselves. Chrome is very nice but very expensive. Mike does an incredible job though! But for us powdercoat was a no brainer
Quoted from McCune:Ill bet Mike has a set ready for exchange , That is how I got mine ,no waiting .
For some reason when I emailed him that mine were painted black, Mike said he would only do my set. That he wouldn't exchange a chromed set for mine. Not sure why.
Quoted from CUJO:Not sure why.
He hates you? Or maybe he just does not have a spare set to exchange?
They get acid dipped, it does not matter if you had Crayola Crayons on them. 
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I eventually got a reply from Mike Chestnut (he was on vacation) & all is good.
balboarules, can you post a pic of yours when you get them back. I want to get mine redone as well. Considering both the powdercoat and rechrome options. It would be interesting to compare your rechrome pictures with Hawk007 pictures when he posts his powdercoat version. Thanks!
I have not sent mine out yet, but will once I do and get them back, had a set done before and they were beautiful!
Quoted from Patofnaud:Not a very close up, but Mike did these...
Thanks Patofnaud! Those look a better than the ones I have. I'm considering getting the rails/legs, etc... powdercoated blue (eg http://www.backalleycreations.com/bac%20main%20frame%20page.htm), but I need to get the guns redone as well and I've been meaning to start this exact thread, so any information I can get is useful.
By the way, what brand lift do you have underneath that DM?
...the chrome is way nice..makes anything else look bad. After you do those you will want to do the whole thing!
The stainless pc looks great in person. When the coin door is done I will post that as well. We did the BB hinges also and the bolts. Looks really good. And you cannot beat the price. lol
