Just wondering what you guys use for finishes on barrels and bolts and your stocks paints dips etc...Looking for something that will last
 
I'm looking to do a camo pattern on the barrel and the stock I don't know if there's any place that does this or not. Other wise I'll just go with a flat brown or tan.
 
Depending where you live, you could do a search to find the nearest Cerakote applicator, or you might even consider hydro dipping if you want a specific pattern or textured look. Most do or should clear coat with cerakote once done. Cerakote will be in the 600.00 dollar range give or take. Not sure about Hydro dipping. That might influence your decision.
 
canadien tire krylon camo paint it will not last forever but it will work,i also use in the pass duracoat it came out very nice I did 2 shotguns
 
more reason for me to start Cerakote. I'm looking for an oven right now, I have 6 guns myself I want done.

Shel Labs makes the best ovens in North America. A division of Sheldon Industries. The 5' tall
( interior) model from Shel Labs is perfect. Or you could put a couple toaster ovens in a metal school locker.
 
It interest me when supporting dealers just have to throw there opinions on a thread that really never involved them and make it personally about them. If you need a stock dipped and you live in the Perth Ontario area it costs $250.00 Taxes in . A whole gun not sure could possibly be in the $600.00 with stripping and dipping. Ian I hope what ever business you are in it is successful. Justify your opinion on the cost of services with out mentioning any one in particular,then getting personally attacked makes me want to do business with some here.
 
I was replying to this, "600ish to Cerakote alone?". Since you ask, I charge 250 for a one colour Cerakote for a complete barrelled action including bases, rings and all the screws and one mag if there is one, includes disassembly and reassembly.
I am not in the great metropolis of Perth but fairly close in Ottawa. My business is doing better than I want it to, too much work. If you guys want to pay 600 then send it over, I will happily take your money.

And before I get back on the naughty list this post is not intended to
solicite business.

You did not read carefully enough. 600 would be for a camo rifle AND a camo stock. That is assuming 3 colour camo. Of course that could change slightly depending on the rifle or the stock. Just rough ball park prices to give the OP an idea of what to expect.

Now I know why johnone types in bold.
 
Too bad Cerakote people decided to turn civilian buyers into second class citizens and make their Gen II coating unavailable to them. If that's something you care about, you can always go with Duracoat

I know you were just kidding, but there are many products out there for military sales only. I'm not sure why anyone would want the Gen II low IR signature coating. And yes, Cerakote is the number one finish on the market. Almost every major manufacturer offers their products in Cerakote in addition to anodizing and blueing.
