Cerakote
 

Figured I would start a new thread instead of building off the other. What's the deal with cerakote? I see that cerakote is a firearms coating but Stielow used it on Hellfire so obviously it has other uses. Can someone give me a run down on why I should consider it for a coating or any other reason it should be considered?

Thanks

durable and easy to prep for.

Tough to get regular paint to stick to stainless.

forgot powder coating too

In regards to weapons, it's supposed to do very well with repeated friction from semi-auto weapons. Doesn't wear as quickly and does very well against the salt water tests as well. I've used it on a few rifles before. I believe they make high heat paint as well, but don't quote me on that, it's been a few years since I was really into guns.

I was looking at this stuff yesterday, looks like it a spray applied ceramic type paint then baked on. Yes mostly gun dealers If you go to there website you can put in your zip code and it will give you a list of dealers. I wouldn't imagine they would have a big oven such as powder coat shops. So probably would not be able to do big parts. Definitely looks cool,

Thanks guys. I may have to look into this when I go to redo my trim one day.

Very durable and covers piece without major buildup for areas where tolerances need to be kept.
