I want to have my kimber custom tac 2 cerakoted it is looking sad but i do not know how to do it so anyone have any suggestions of a good place to have it done?

Looking forward to seeing this, I still have some stripped pieces that I wouldn't mind coloring up.

After these two projects, and I'm warmed up with the bake-on stuff, send parts all day long. <thumbsup>

Again, wait 'til I get warmed up here. I think I'm painting/baking this coming Thursday. I've actually been thinking of refinishing my Desert Warrior, brother.

That thing is a classic!

I would like to hear opinions on coating barrel with Duracoat or Ceracoat. I need some options.

Wonder which would take the temperature better , Ceracoat ?

Magwa · August 6, 2014

from what I have read cerakote is da Bomb!

I coated my sons m4 with duracoat.

It still looks new after a couple if thousand rounds.

His barrel looks better than my factory parkerized.

Did you bake the barrel in the oven or air dry it ? Edited August 7, 2014 by Dane Armory

Picking up the paint gun today - might even strip everything down and just get to the paint!

Starting to put together our cerakote setup at the shop. What oven are you using, Tom? Something off craigslist?

Rsquared · August 8, 2014

I just might have some parts for you guys to "experiment" on. You've got my interest going now. If you'd be willing that is. I don't want to impose or ask for something for nothing. I'm thinking...disruptive gray (the jack.......oh yeah Tom). I'll throw in, naturally, cause it's not a standard color. Whatever might be needed.

Just a thought my brothers.

98Z5V · August 8, 2014

That's a good looking color, brother - looks damn good on a rifle when you're done, and shooting it. Grows on ya. <thumbsup>

Rsquared · August 8, 2014

I like the sound of it

DNP · August 8, 2014

You buy the bipod, Tom will paint it. Hell, I'll buy the paint.

Like a dog with a bone.

Did pick up the new spray gun yesterday - didn't have time to prep anything, rip her rifle apart, etc. I'm shooting Sunday, so maybe later in the afternoon I can get busy getting everything ready.

The beauty of the Cerakote is that once I shoot it and bake it - I let it cool and reassemble the rifle, and beat the $hit out of the rifle. What's not to like?

DNP · August 11, 2014

I'm starting to think I'm going to see a MRAD wearing an Elite Iron bipod....long before we get to see some painted chit.

98Z5V · August 12, 2014

Time. Perfection takes time.

As in, "I need more TIME off work, and I need two 18 year-old boys to invest more TIME in $hit around this house. That way, when I have my TIME, it's REALLY MY TIME!!!"

Those little fuckers need to get busy... <lmao>

It'll happen, brother, it'll happen. It's damn sure gonna happen LONG before Ron realizes the error of his ways, and puts a righteous bipod on that piece of precision perfection... :banana:

DNP · August 12, 2014

Lol...you're time. I hope someday we can all have a little "my time". Good luck with that.

I'm sure you will build and paint plenty of new rifles before Ron comes around, but I had to put it out there. I'm anxious to see them completed. Thought a slight nudge would help.

shibiwan · August 12, 2014

Pics, Tom... we need pics, or you know that it didn't happen.

Dane Armory · August 12, 2014

This is what a gun I am working on will look like when I am done.

shibiwan · August 12, 2014

Nice... who makes that short stock?

Robocop1051 · August 12, 2014

That looks like the UCIW stock. Not sure if they make it, but LWRCi uses it on their SBRs. It uses a short receiver extention with a guide rod attached to the end of it.
