Dan actually took a lot more time on the DC finish than it would have taken to coat the blades. If you really want it coated, you could coat it yourself in any color you want. You can use any of the gun coatings that don't have to be baked. Some of them might be ok too but I really doubt it because of the Res-C. I would definitely consult Dan before adding any of the heated coatings, but DuraCoat is applied at room temperature with an air brush. I'm sure you could find somebody that duracoats guns that would probably do a piece that small for $30 at the very most, probably less if he was already doing another piece in the same color/pattern.
