Our
Classic Collector Grade Finish
“MX25” The Exact HK Black and
Professional Series “SP1000” Coating
System
team up to give you simply the Best Finish System available. The RDTS
"Tri-Coat Finish System" takes your weapon refinishing needs seriously
whether your in law enforcement, the military or a collector. And your
weapon gets our "do it like its our own" commitment to quality to insure
a Premium Finish for harsh operational environments or lounging in your
safe!
Available in state of the art proprietary colors,
harsh environment
molly, camo and self-lubricating
coating systems this page details RDTS weapons
coatings, refinishing process and the unique properties and
applications of these coatings. When RDTS refinishes
your weapon it is actually a coating system which can depending on
your application consist of several different formulas. We have worked
hard and developed our coatings over a period in excess of 25 years.
There are hundreds of coatings, molly based or otherwise available and
as in having a pro paint your muscle car or street rod there is much
more to it than buying a gallon of paint and running an add. Our
clients benefit from years of our experience and their input over that
time. We insure you get the right formulation, preparation and proper
thermal times for a durable and
beautiful coating.
RDTS TRI-COAT SYSTEM
Our Tri-Coat Finishing system
takes "MX25", "SP1000" and "SL450" and combines them into one of the
most durable and beautiful finish systems for your firearm! After proper
preparation as described our technicians apply corrosion resistant, heat
dissipating base coat of "SP1000" then in our proprietary method "MX25"
is applied for that Collector Grade HK Black that looks exactly the way
a HK fresh from Germany should! We don't stop there as now its time to
turn our attention to your firearms interior. Of course the inside of
your receiver was meticulously stripped to bare metal like the exterior
so we can apply our third part of the "Tri-Coat System". Now our techs
use a special air brush to lay down the "SL450" Self Lubrication finish
to the interior of the receiver, bolt carrier, cocking support etc.
which gives you a virtually self lubricating, corrosion free, easy to
maintain interior. Then after a final inspection your firearm and parts
are moved to our oven for a pre determined time depending on application
to be thermally set. Then we remove the firearm from the oven and
inspect it again before final assembly. We will go thru the whole
process again if its not to our standards. We do this so you our
customer receives a finish on your firearm that will exceed your
expectations. If you receive your weapon and there is something you have
an issue with, call us. Your satisfaction and repeat business is our
goal! OK now the best part, other than the required bore maintenance
your firearm can be cleaned with a spray of WD40 and an air hose! Carbon
and firing residue in the interior is easy to remove due to "SL450"
slick nature. We use a form of the "SL450/SP1000" Molly system on our
RDTS HK MP5SD Suppressors for a suppressor that kept dry requires no
maintenance as carbon won't readily stick to it and every time the
weapon is fired the carbon is knocked off the baffle and blown out of
the suppressor!
REFINISH THOSE CLONE
HK'S
If you have an HK clone
such as the G3S (Portuguese) or the SAR-8 (Greek) and want the
true HK black “MX25” will make your weapon indistinguishable
from the West German model. This is the HK finish for you,
especially if you've already sent it elsewhere and were sorely
disappointed in the finish and workmanship as some customers
have. Or get ahead of the game and send it to RDTS
first……..!Note: “MX25” is also used on the exterior of
suppressors manufactured by RDTS.. . also the heat generated
by G3's on the barrel area have not affected this
coating.
RDTS EXTREME DUTY SYSTEM-
Available in Black or Camo
Patterns and will dissipate heat not trap it like many current systems.
Our extreme duty finish is almost identical as our "Tri-Coat System"
except we do not use "MX25" and stick to a 100 percent Molly
Formulation. It is similar in appearance to factory HK but slightly off
in regard to a little bit more sheen, not much but enough that when
placed next to a factory HK you can tell. The advantage is our
"SP1000/SL450" system can withstand immersion in MEK, Acetone etc with
no effect on it. You probably wouldn't do that to your firearm but it
also means that you could subject it to continued salt water exposure as
in underwater operations or dry sandy environments' with confidence and
better longevity. The only interior tougher is our "NiSi" which is
actually not a coating but a plating and is not near as corrosion
resistant.
PREPARATION
The first crucial step
in successful weapon refinishing is the preparation of the
surface to accept the coating and insure adhesion of the
material. RDTS's armorers expertly
strip your weapon down and store all components in its own
storage cubicle to insure what you gave them is what you get
back. The weapon is degreased
then placed in a shop oven to bake out any grease or solvents
that may be in crevices in preparation of going into the bead
blasting cabinet. The surface is then stripped to the metal by
aluminum oxide with special attention to markings on the
weapon. This procedure prepares
the material to form a bonding surface for our proprietary
coating systems. Again your markings, serial numbers etc. are
also undamaged and as they were prior to the surface
preparation!COATINGS
RDTS offers the ultimate
in weapon protection for Law Enforcement, Military and the
Individual who wants the very best! Our coating systems were
initially conceived for those whose lives depend on their
weapons, primarily select fire machineguns, which take more
of a beating than your standard arm. We regularly apply our
coating systems to machineguns and suppressors for Class II
Manufacturers and Class III Dealers. The same coatings are
used in the manufacture of our state of the art suppressors
from 22lr up to belt fed machine-guns that can endure 900 +
rates of fire in military caliber's such as 7.62x51 (308)! The
above is noted to assure you that these finishes and coatings
can handle it, whether its a machinegun, suppressor or your
standard semi-auto pistol or rifle!
THE RIGHT COATING FOR
YOUR APPLICATION
There are many coatings
that are used in combinations depending on your application
and operational needs. Some of the coating designations are as
follows “MX25“and “SP1000” which are used in exterior weapon
application because of their superior durability. Our formulation “SL450”
is used primarily internally when higher lubricity levels are
needed or environments where oil may attract dirt and sand. Keep in mind
when oil is used your friction level goes down much more than oil alone
so your rate of fire in automatic weapons may actually go up! Coating properties and variations
are explained below, please read each section in full to
understand the unique abilities of each material. All of our
Coating Systems are Thermally set for the ultimate in
durability! Also all our coatings will withstand CRYO
treatment!
RDTS Classic Collector
Grade Finish
“MX25” THE EXACT HK
BLACK
"MX25" This finish is
primarily used by RDTS in our refinishing of HK Machineguns
and Semi-Autos. Its a perfect match in color to the black that
is currently used on HK's (Heckler & Koch) manufactured in
West German and imported by HK America. “MX25” is applied by
airbrush on the properly prepared surface to a specified
thickness then care-fully moved to a shop oven to thermally
set.
Note: “MX25” is not an
epoxy paint, we have used them and found them to go on too
thick and sometimes obscure markings and affect
tolerances. This finish is more
durable than the original HK finish and “MX25” is not affected
by gun solvents, oil, even MEK or trichloroethylene wont affect
it during cleaning of weapon and it looks fantastic. After
RDTS finishes your weapon with CANNOT TELL IT FROM A
FACTORY NEW GUN! Matter of fact
it looks better!
PROFESSIONAL SERIES
“SP1000” SUPERIOR
EXTERIOR COATING
SYSTEM
Available in our
proprietary colors.
HK Black ..Perfect for
HK’s, UZI’s, AK’s and AUG’s any weapon that needs a harsh
environment durable Black. CAMO in 3 COLORS (OD
Green, Dark Tan and Black). We love this camo...our
personal carry 45 and 9mm pistols are done in this finish. We
have also refinished Swedish K’s, UZI’s, HK51/53 and SP89
Stretch’s….well you get the picture. Look for some camo pics
in this catalog! “SP1000” Far surpasses
any type of bluing, Teflon, Z-Coat, Parkerizing or virtually
any finish available today! This is a super coating
originally developed for the U.S. Government for use on
weapons that would be carried by underwater demolition teams
(SEAL). The government contract
called for a coating that could be applied to M-16's and would
prevent corrosion, be abrasion resistant and self lubricating
at a level to meet the automatic weapon dry firing
requirements after immersion in sea water!
"SP1000/SL450" Specs
OPERATIONAL TEMP RANGE
The range of
temperatures that “SP1000” can tolerate is simply
amazing!
Example:
+500 degrees F 1000 Hrs
minimum
-350 degrees F 1000 Hrs
minimum
Thermal breakaway @1000
degrees F Minimum
REPELS
CORROSION
The chemical resistance
of “SP1000” is as unbelievable!
Example:
1000 hours salt spray at
5%
Unaffected after 24 hr.
immersion in Gasoline, Jet Fuel, Lube oil, Hydraulic fluid,
Epoxy paint remover, trichloroethylene, hydrochloric acid and
more!
COOLER
RUNNING
The non-sealing aspect
of ”SPlOOO” makes it ideal for weapons as it causes heat to
dissipate 10% faster than bare metal. This heat transfer
ability really helps on exterior of suppressors!
TOUGHEST COATING
AVAILABLE
Our thin film coating
has an aprox. Film thickness of .0004 and will give your
weapon the protection it needs against abrasion and it wont
easily wear off like Parkerizing, oxide finishes or bluing.
Its miles ahead of regular paint and won’t attract dust, dirt
or sand.
UV RAY
RESISTANT
“SP1000” is a very hard
coating that is also UV resistant...contrary to what you’ve
heard or read a lot of these Moly coatings are not resistant
to UV rays and must be in a closed environment. Of course you
wouldn't know till years later if your new Moly finish would
hold up...and that high volume outfit that just discovered
these finishes probably doesn’t know either! Again experience
has its benefits.
RDTS can apply "SP1000"
to any type of metal, alloy steel, aluminum, nickel or chrome
plate, titanium etc.
“SP1000" is the superior finish for those beyond belief environments
i.e. Sea going vessels, Extreme Cold as in
Alaska, Sand like what was experienced in the Persian Gulf,
Police weapons in vehicle racks etc.
