Cerakote to best match Manners chassis

[number9]

So, I want a low maintenance finish on my 700 AAC barreled action and want to go with cerakote. I have a Manners stock with their mini chassis on order but it's 16 weeks out and I'd rather not wait that long to get the cerakote done.

What color cerakote would best match the color of the mini chassis? I was wanting to go with a matte black color anyway, just want the shades to be close so it looks right when it's in the Manners stock.

Armor black H-190 is more of a flat black and graphite black H-146 has a little more sheen to it. If you want it even more shiny you can add more harder. Those colors call for a 18:1 ratio but can be used from 24:1 all the way to 12:1. Pretty much any color will work with a black stock so don't just limit yourself to black. Sniper gray or something else might look good as well. I just did a buddies barrel action with OD green and did his bolt in armor black both at 24:1. The paint came out super flat but it looks really good in his black stock.

Guess I should also have included that the Manners stock will be Woodland camo. Also, I'd like the shade / sheen to match the SWFA matte black scope and Manners chassis black fairly well.

If you 100% have to have everything the same color/shade/sheen then your probably not gona be happy unless everthing gets painted the same. Thats probably gona cost you more money and some shops may not want to mess with painting scopes or mini chassis. Honestly If you had your barreled action done in a semi gloss to gloss finish you should be gtg

Yea, I dont want to fool with having the scope, rings and/or mini chassis done, just the barreled action to match those components as best it can. Doesn't have to be 100% perfect match, but I don't want to be able to notice the difference from 10' away either.
