Looks good man. My friend did two of his that way. I'm still on the fence about letting him do mine though. Just cause I can never change it back
Polished the 19 barrel

I think you can send the barrel back to glock and they can refinish it with the black. I'm not 100% sure but I think you can. I did my 27 barrel, pins, and slide release and love it
What did you use to polish it?
Jkurtz,
That looks awesome! I assume the letters are done with white nail polish. I saw another thread about the lettering.
Is your entire barrel polished? Can you provide some instruction on how you did that and what tools and chemicals you used? I like it.
Thanks...

Those polished barrels look pretty sick, I must admit.
Turned out real nice LR...
Care to share how you did it...?
Did you use a certain polish...Flitz ?

Certainly! I used a fine #0000 steel wool using just a dab at a time of Flitz and Simichrome polishing paste, alternating between the two. I believe Flitz by itself would work just fine though. Go slow and wipe to see results as you go. It took about 15 minutes per side. I did all three sides of the flat surfaces of the barrel. I may do the entire barrel later.Turned out real nice LR...

That's interesting, can you post a pic of the barrel out of the slide?LRodgers said:Certainly!

Where can I buy Flitz polishing paste and 0000 steel wool. I hope it's not a stupid question but I'd like to polish the barrel and white out the lettering on my G30.
I think it will look nice. It's a small gun so all the details will really be visible.

Wouldn't removing the finish make it less durable? Even if it's stainless it will eventually start to deteriorate. Or is the tennifer in the steel itself?
From what I have read the tennifer is in the steel itself. It's not actually a coating.
What light do you have on that?jkurtz said:Here is a pic of mine
Correct. You can Google "tenifer" and get the explanation of the whole process. Pretty interesting.From what I have read the tennifer is in the steel itself. It's not actually a coating.
thats pretty dang sweet looking
That looks good! I wonder how well my Dremel would do the job...
