Thanks everyone! The worst part is to sandblast the thing. I go to a friend's workplace now cause I used to do it in my driveway and my neighbourhood was covered with sand. Other than that it's not very complicated. With a basic air brush it s pretty hard to put too much paint so you just start with the worst places to reach and you finish with the slides. Everything has to be super degreased but 30 mn in an acetone bath do the job.
Last thing cerakote looks way better when it s as flat as possible so you have to be very precise with the hardener dosage (24:1). 24 ml of paint is well enough for one pistol. So even if the product is kinda expensive you go a long way with only 4oz. Bought directly from the US manufacturer.
The sam was pretty tight before now there just absolutely no play at all.
