Hey Brordo,
We can get fairly close in terms of colour with Satin Aluminium and Graphite Black but we cannot replicate the sheen of the NiB process.

Are you guys able to approx. the look of NiB Battleworn with Cerakote?
Like this:
If it helps, put mine on the back burner.
I'd rather have mine done correctly by a craftsman who knows his time is appreciated than having it rushed through the process due to a few whiners on CGN. If it gives you breathing room, then everyone wins.
Guys need to stop b!tching and let BBC do their magic.
My 10/22 takedown turned out really nice in Magpul OD Green
My god man, that's a beauty
Chill out. I just re-read this entire thread and found zero evidence of 'a few whiners' or 'b!tching' anywhere. A few of us simply expressed our excitement and anticipation of receiving our completed firearms from BBC. No #####ing, no whining, no complaining.
Shame on us.
From the teaser pics Jay sent me of my finished 870 it's definitely worth the wait. Now just impatiently waiting for delivery... I keep checking BBC Facebook and Instagram for more pictures to tie me over until it arrives. Lol.... already trying to figure out what to send them next!
Just saw a Colt Canada 15.7" MRR that was recently done in FDE by Black Box and I have to say I was truly impressed! It's not a simple matter to totally disassemble an AR, Ceracoat and reassemble but this was done to perfection. They will be seeing business from me based on what I saw!

We are not a dealer of Cerakote, just an Applicator. However you can purchase a Starter Kit of your own from Cerakote directly.

I'll probably send a bolt action down after I get my glock back from them 
Got my two custom barreled actions back today, the work looks pretty good.
One thing for any of you guys that might have barreled rifle actions in for cerakoting, ask to have your recoil lugs taped off and NOT coated if your stocks are glass bedded...I learned the hard way today and ended up cracking a real nice walnut CDL stock trying to work the action free after it wouldn't slip into the bedding. It got stuck at the recoil lug, due to the extra thickness of the coating I presume. I guess I'm shopping for one new stock and hogging out the second for re-bedding at the lug...

Good tip! I wonder how hard it will be to sand the Cerakote off there. I know mine is fully coated as well but didnt get to install it yet. I've had mine back in to Blackbox for rework. Black box was great about fixing the problem but I think they're still backed up from the sale. It's been since November for mine.
