I originally had to ask BLA strip and recoat the slide as it was obvious that they just lightly media blasted the factory polycoat and sprayed directly over it. All of the blemishes that were previously present in the factory finish were still there after the first attempt at coating the slide. That honestly doesn't give me much confidence that short cuts weren't taken during the prepping process. As far as I was told, their standard process is to strip back to a bare slide and frame and soak the parts in an acetone bath, bake after the bath, and place them back in an acetone bath again prior to coating.</blockquote>
