colors….

[edgecrusher]

has anyone coated their rifle? i am looking at colors, not to give it away, and cerakote and duracoat are the top contenders. now i can prep the gun, but i don't own a sprayer, which i could buy, cerakote sells one on their site for $35, but my compressor is 26 gallon, is that too big for fine detail work? how hard is it to get right? how much do you need? if i have extra i will do one of my glocks, but i just want some first hand info.

on a side note, i contacted one of the "certified" cerakote guys in my state, and his response was to send a pic first, so he'll have an idea what i want, because he's unfamiliar with what i asked,(free float rail, matching receiver set  <dontknow> ) but he also mentioned recording the serial numbers for the atf….. and i can't figure out why?

I read somewhere that the cerakote will fill in any engraving, maybe that's why you need to record the serial number?

I've used the Duracoat in the spray cans from Brownells with great success. The last go around was a Para-Ordinance frame that the serial # is pretty shallow and had no problem with it filling in the engraving.

trying to match to magpul fde…. thinking i can do the cerakote, with the help of works acetone tank and sand blasting media, using the air dry type cerakote. keep the info coming guys.
