So last night I coated my P07 and a 1911 (frame and slide) with the Duracoat Stainless Steel, I am not that impressed with this color, just does not look right. I should have gone with the Titanium instead or maybe I should have used a flat clear coat instead of gloss.
Oh well, i will add pictures in a bit, thankfully if I decide to change the color again it is simple enough.

I have never liked the duracoat colors that try to imitate steel or bluing...their strengths are in the esoteric colors and earth tones.

Yeah I see this now lol, oh well it's still fun to do, easy enough to fix, and not damaging to the wallet.
