Anyone local do Cerakoting or other type of coating system for firearms?
Never heard of it until now. Just looked it up and it looks interesting.Anyone local do Cerakoting or other type of coating system for firearms?
It's flat amazing stuff. I do my own gunsmithing and started doing my own Cerakote work about 4 years ago. I need a bigger oven though. The FDE Cerakote on the lower of this 6.5 Grendel rifle was one of the earliest I did that came out right. The process is quite picky/precise..but worth it. You can see two different types of "fail" in the other pic of a lower. Has both "holidays" and "fish eyeing" mistakes.Never heard of it until now. Just looked it up and it looks interesting.

Why pony up for a gun with a Cerakote finish? It's a paint and protective coating, and does hold up pretty well. You may want to consider it. Read on for more...gunbelts.com
They should be a good choice. The ones that do it in these here parts are still amateurs .For anyone else who may have this question, I'm dropping it off at Gun Metal tomorrow. I'll take some pictures.

Such as..who? I've only heard of one guy doing Cerakote locally that does it for others and heard he's pretty good at it. It's not "rocket surgery" though.....it's just another bake-cured coating process and you have to get every step right. Once you've got it down, it's very repeatable. I ended up buying a small touch-up spray gun just for Cerakote and after playing with nozzle size, air adjustments and technique and it works great every time.They should be a good choice.

It wouldnt surprise me if these guys in White Plains dont shoot Cerakote along with the Powder and ceramic they offer.

Who ever one leaves a firearm with overnight to Cerakote, make sure they have an FFL.
I don't trust any company who puts a "Z" in their name.

Good one. But to be fair about it...Cerakote has made big inroads in to the automotive performance coating arena too. In fact, that's the main reason I want a much bigger oven...not for firearm parts.I don't trust any company who puts a "Z" in their name.
And that ...is why, even after getting the process down well, I don't offer to coat (or do any other work) on anyone else's firearm. I used to...but the ATF really started cracking on various stuff like that. I'm getting my FFL, but not for my Maryland address. It will be attached to my commercial property in southern VA.

I've got a nice older commercial building right on Rt 58 west of Danville and when I get the second story on it, then I'll have a first floor shop (it was oringally a fire house...built super heavy..and later an automotive repair shop) and office/retail/clean room space on the second floor. I do not plan on staying in MD much longer anyway. Family arrived 1650...ahma leaving last at around 2025..we had a nice 375 year run. But it's time for it to be over. My younger sister lives next to my commercial property on 58 and my elderly mother lives with her when she's not here visiting (we keep an apartment for her). Older sister and husband are in WV now.That is a smart decision. Maryland is way too intrusive. I ditched my FFL in 1985.
