Thread: Cerakote yay or nay?

Quick update:

I went with Duracoat M11 Tungsten. Sprayed on with the $60 HVLP gun sold to me by the Duracoat distributor. So far I’m very impressed with how things have gone. I have zero experience applying coatings or painting so went with what @Preacher had recommended in this thread.

The Duracoat goes on very easily with no sign of any runs, in fact, I was trying to get it to run on a test piece and that required a fair bit of effort to produce a run. On Finlay’s recommendation I set the gun to 30psi and turned the paint control to a pretty low setting. Seemed to be spot on.

A lesson learnt is that I probably had the pressure set to high/to course of a media when I sand blasted the parts. It’s left a relatively rough to touch feel. I like the look of it as it accentuates the metallic flake within the paint, some may not like that though.

She’s only being curing for a few days so I’ll update with finished pictures in the stock when it’s all said and done.
