AR refinish question

[SA85M1]

Does Armacoat or Ceracoat have a color that is similar to Colt grey...or anyone else for that matter?

Cheers..R..

Have you looked on the manufacturers web sites to see available colors?

Your google-fu is weak sir.

Nothing I saw gave me a yes or no...either way I figured someone here would know...

 

[SA85M1]

Hmmmm cerakote it is !

Why hasn't anyone figured out the secret to "Colt Grey" anodizing. If they can do it in the U.S. surely someone can figure it out in Canada.

NEA had that grey anodizing....people complained...now they cerecoat their ARs black.

I'll have to contact them.

I have some A1 lowers that need some anodizing.

Ok..who sells Cerakote here ?...anyone who has used it please chime in..

 

[msnively]

I don't know if they're a site sponsor, but Select shooting supplies in Cambridge Ontario does cerekoting. Dunno what their prices/level of expertise is.

Do you want an upper with the earlier flip peep sight or the later windage/elevation adjustable sight?

 

[SA85M1]

At this point either would do..!

What's involved in applying Cerakote - are there specialized tools required for this, or ?

Confession: I just watched the new Star Wars movie the other day, and the thought the First Order stormtrooper's white on black rifles looked pretty sharp... Next thought - hey, maybe this is do-able with some white Cerakote! (And no, I'm not creating a Halloween costume out of this...)

Do a search on YouTube. ..all you need to know is there..

Pics - we need pics!

Barrett at Armacoat does anodizing too. He anodizes stuff for Canadian AR manufactures.

Hmmm...I still have not taken the time to do the pic thing...think ill join the CGN super team, that should save some frustration and choice cursing..but otherwise cerakote is fantastic to use, just follow the directions. .I added a bit too much activator and got a bit more of a gloss type finish...looks great though.!!
