When was the run of orange ones done?
OP
it wasn't by Bryan at VDH. That's a Cerakote process. So the chrome was eaten off the insides due to poor rinsing procedures before I got it...as such, needed to be re-chromed...Jerrie over at Diverdowndhr was like, well, we have this new process where we coat it in ceramic, just as hard, and lives forever...added bonus, we can make it any color you want...I liked orange...so I got an orange kraken lol...pretty sure it's one of a kind...so super excited about that.
but yeah, seems you can apply the process to pretty much anything. I also had my Freedom plate coated in that picture...will be interested to see how it holds up to wear and tear...but yeah.

it's used a lot in customizing guns it seems...if you live in a large metro, I would bet there's probably at least one shop in your area that can do the process. I have I think 3 here in my town.
Yeah, ceramic for metal, but the can and DSV are "plastic"...
OP
Apparently you can use the same process on plastic as well lol, idk...I just know I got an orange kraken and dsv now lol.
