CeraKote Party? - GVRD

[Brianma65]

I guess it depends on what the mean by durable.
If don't the right way the finish will look like it just came out of the custom shop of someone like noveskie, KAC, S&W.
Bit if what you are looking for is just a paint job... well then a little rubbing and buffing + a bit o paint may be all you need.

One of the issues we run into when working on firearms is some parts have a very tight fit, that is one of the reason we use cerakote and KG, all the others like arma kote(cdn) duracote are way to thick, so in order to apply them well you have to make then so thin it,s like painting with water.
blasting then painting and baking, gets a hard finish that's not to thick.
No matter how long you "air dry" it will never be as good as a bank of finish.

I agree baked on finish would be better , if done right and with the right equipment. I've had my ceracote done for approximately 2 months , and have been using it in the bush, it still looks as good as the day it was done , can't say that about the anodizing though. I spent a few hours buffing the aluminum with 3 M pads. I'm not disagreeing with you , but only saying, if done right ,by someone who knows what they're at, media blasting, buffing, applying the ceracote and airdry is sufficient ...IMO..... Brian

On a side note , you wouldn't happen to have a one piece 30 mm mount to send me with my comp

So what happened ? Works of art or party pooped ? P.S. don't buff after you blast with 100-120 grit.
