Cerekote

[GilpinGuy]

I hear DuraCoat promoted on Student of the Gun all the time. Anyone ever use that?

If you want a Professional job instead of a kitchen table Bubba look, get ahold of Danger Lee in Elizabeth.

It looks good but you don't need to do that to a Colt. That horse fights everything from Demons to rust...it's like the breath of Thor.

I've used Duracoat for probably 10 years now. I won't claim that it's as durable as Cerakote but I haven't really had issues with it if I let if sit and fully cure. It's real easy to use and no oven needed. I've generally degreased and sprayed without using a bead blaster. I've only had one issue ever which was my fault because I had used paint stripper to get the old paint off and didn't get it cleaned well enough before spraying.

Yes I did, the stainless slide was OK, but the stainless color coated aluminum frame sucked. Besides, I rescued this from a convicted gun abuser with gun A-D-D....... This was a few years before Colt came out with the all black Defender.... Now I want the all stainless Defender they have out...... That is if I can get one before all the Biden gun bans take effect.

I don’t know if he does any firearms or not. I know he is cerekoting turbos and manifolds so you’d have to ask if he is doing firearms. Also does some pretty amazing metal fab. He has some cool things on his Instagram

I've used it extensively as well. It's reasonably durable, even held up on an AR-15 9mm bolt well enough (500 rounds ish before I sold it maybe?) it will eventually wear on a bearing surface like that, but it takes quite a bit. I think by then, only the corners of the bearing surfaces had worn. Been awhile, though. On stuff like a barrel or receiver I don't think it's going to have noticeable differences to ceracoat if properly applied, because most likely, neither is going to come off in your lifetime.

I've been wanting to try cerekote with an airbrush. I was hoping to not have to sandbags it though.
Does anyone have experience cerekoting after cleaning with lye and acetone, like when anodizing?

Sand blast, not sandbag...stupid autocorrect...
