Titanium nitride. Anybody know of a good place that does this. I'm wanting my barrel coated. The gold color looks awesome. What are some of the benefits?

PM Patryn. He just had it done on a Glock barrel of his.

Looks like CrN might be even better for sliding surfaces.
Chromium Nitride (CrN) Coating
Similar properties to TiN.
Higher temperature resistance than TiN
More corrosion protection f the substrate than TiN
Hard (2X hard chrome). Not quite as hard as TiN.
Inert and stable material
Extremely strong adhesion-molecular bond to substrate metal.
Broad range of substrates
Broad range of thicknesses
Thin film typically 3 µm (0.000118”) thick
Uniform coating with no buildup on edges
Follows surface texture of the part.
High Temperature tolerant
Electrically conductive and non-oxidizing
Non-toxic and FDA compliant.
Resistant to most chemicals
Metallic chrome appearance
Conductive – does not oxidize
Environmentally friendly process
Use CrN for:
Higher temperature applications
Sliding wear applications
Wear resistance on precision components
Eliminates galling, fretting, microwelding, seizing and adhesive wear
Enhances corrosion resistance but does not perfectly encapsulate the part
Low Friction
Holds sharp edges or corners
Little dimensional impact, perfect for close tolerance parts

Tin looks alright but mystic gold by cryptic coating is slicker and mo' pimpin
