So, this week I believe I made my final change to my primary rifle, a 20" Grendel, and historically once a gun is "perfect" I get the stencils out and paint it. Half the reason I do this is corrosion protection, and the other half is cosmetic, because YOLO and all that.
So, last night as I gathered the stencils and masking tape and began degreasing, I remembered that in my half frugal, somewhat "poors" situation of using Noveske B line parts, I had a black cerakoted handguard that would likely not accept the paint and end up looking like shit. I like this rifle black as it has some carbon furniture and I wasn't mad at it, but
I live in southern Louisiana and hunt in southern Texas near the gulf. Everything rusts in real time.
So, regarding the small parts - screw heads, and possibly to some degree safety/bolt release/mag catch/buffer plate - any brilliant suggestions other than Cerakote?
Was considering cleaning them and then applying some enamel based but figured I'd check in with the brain trust. I don't anticipate taking much apart on this one in the future but would prefer to change tolerances as little as possible.
