At least this sort of baking is low calorie
Low gloss black engine enamel on slide (baked for 2 hours @ 300'F ), trigger swap done too.

Overall, it's pretty durable paint, but it will still wear off especially where there's metal on metal contact.
I did the frame of my other 1911 last year with the same low gloss black engine enamel. (Hasn't been gamed) Paint has worn off a little under the safety, but the other scratches were caused by carelessness on my part whilst swapping parts throughout the year.

Edit Nov 17 - The tan peanut magwell Duragrips have been sprayed with Dupli-color matt black vinyl coating, black 3-hole trigger installed (original trigger which I was able to thread a grub screw into, making it actually adjustable now) That's about it for now.
