    Sanchez Machine Pump Cerakoted

    As promised, here's a full write up on on the Sanchez Machine square body I picked up from woouulf. Note: this is different than the body in my build log in the pump forum.

    Build details:
    Sanchez Machine square body kit
    AKA sidewinder
    DYE double slider
    Shocktech valve
    Inception Designs "Universal" hammer (slotted)

    Cerakote Process: I contacted the folks over at Barefoot Customs for cerakote, asking for a "Crushed Orchid" base coat with "Stormtrooper White" splash over the top. The folks there were great to work with, got me a quote quickly and I packed up the parts and shipped them off. Contact was great from there, even asking for clarification on the style of splash, etc. Entire process took just a couple of weeks from initial contact to finishes product in my hands. Once I got the parts back in hand, I was impressed. They were able to get full coverage internal and external (as I requested, and yes, I inspected), the colors were great and the splash was awesome.

    Assembly: This is where things got interesting, and I'm to blame. This was a raw, non-production body and kit. I did test assemble before sending out, and recall very tight tolerances. At the time, I didn't think anything of it. However, Cerakote is an additive process, whereas traditional annodizing is a subtractive process. After the cerakote, the VASA was nearly impossible to put on, the bolt wouldn't go down the breech, and the pump arm wouldn't slide into the pump handle to be secured. Again, my fault. In all reality, if I had anno'd the kit first then sent it out for cerakote, it would likely not have these tolerance issues. After a quick polish with some 2000 grit sandpaper, followed by a polishing pad (leftover from a headlight restoration kit), and things started to fit much better. The polishing didn't even remove the base layer of cerakote, it was the "splash" that had extra thickness that needed to be taken down.

    Testing: Initially I assembled with a stock WGP brass valve, but ran into leaking issues. I couldn't nail it down between the valve body or the cup seal. Eventually I replaced it with a shocktech valve, which still leaked. I went up one size on the valve body and leak went away instantly. Not sure if it's a Sanchez thing, or just something with this body, but now it's air tight. I took it to the back yard to chrono and sweet spot, and it was super easy. Got the sidewinder locked in and she's shooting a pretty 275 +/- 5 due to paint inconsistency.

    Conclusion: Overall, I'd definitely get another body cerakoted. The work is high quality, and the fitment issues are mostly on me. The other perk with cerakote is absolute color consistency, so if I ever want/need a different frame, or even barrel coated to match, it will be an exact match. The pump is a fantastic little shooter, and I can't wait to get my other body/kit back from ARC.

      Looks great man, very fun build. What made you decide to go with a double finger slider vs. a single?

        Thanks! Honestly, it's what I had on hand. I had initially planned on using that on the other Sanchez body, but went a different direction. I like sliders on pumps, and wanted something a little unique.

      Looks good!

      I meant to ask him why adding slash and certain effects adds texture to it where the single coating doesn't seem to add any noticeable. He worked out a "Lava" knock off for me, and it wasn't smooth like the other stuff he made for me. I was going to get my Black Magic in the Lava, but my transmission blew in my truck, and I had to go with a cheaper option.

      I really like the look of the splash. I am curious though, is this they type of splash you wanted with more of a splatter than what most do as a "splash (in my opinion looks like someone took a marker and made lines all over the marker). I prefer the splatter look you got personally, but I am just curious.

      Agreed, I love the idea that I can send in parts later on and get them coated to match perfectly. I think I am going to do that with a stock and On/Off ASA for my Black magic.

        This is the kind of splash I was looking for. Graham and Jenna did email me for a specific example, so I got what I wanted

        As for the "texture" question: I believe it has to do with the technique they use to create the splatter vs base coat. I'm guessing base coat is done via air-gun, whereas for the splatter they likely do a "paint on the fingertips and flicking" techniques, which will leave texture. I don't think things like fades or the like, that can be done via air-gun, will have that problem. And again, it was only on mating surfaces (namely the vasa to the body) where it caused an issue.

        I was really impressed though. I have another potential project for them, just gotta get all the pieces together.

      I was not expecting to see that when I opened this thread. Gorgeous shooter, and I love those Benchmark double frames.

        Nice marker! I’ve been a fan of Cerakote for years, I have a Karni and E-Orracle cerakoted, both have been holding up well after all this time!
