    Krylon. If you don't like it, you can change it.

    If you cerakote it, it may no longer be evil enough to be subject to a ban...

    Sorry I dont rattle can my stuff. If I wanted to go the cheaper route I'd just get the duracoat out, but want a very durable finish

    Your poll won't let me vote (FDE) says I selected too many options </div></div>

    No I will send it off for cerakote.

    On the poll I have no idea what the hell I did wrong there....and I cant edit it

    I couldn't get the poll to work either.

    However, you can see how shitty Cerakote is:

    Well, maybe not so bad.

    When in doubt ~ use two colors.

    FWIW, my Seekins build will be my new favorite color > Sniper Gray.
     
    Re: Should I Cerakote my AR???

    My vote would be leave it alone.

    Here's one I did for a customer. Burnt Bronze isn't really my thing but I spray a lot of it. I'm not sure how it would look the FDE furniture. I did my SR-556 in Graphite Black with Magpul OD accents. I like the smoothness of Cerakote over anodizing. Also not all anodizing is equal but Seekins does a pretty good job of it. If you had black furniture your rifle would look pretty sick in Burnt Bronze and a little Graphite Black.

    Your poll is broken! Personally I would leave it alone!
     
    Re: Should I Cerakote my AR???

    Had my SCAR 16s SBR dipped in multicam hydrographix. Barry Arms out of Albuquerque did the job. Came out incredibly well!!
    I've had him do two others including a gen II PS90 in Reaper skulls...)
     
    Re: Should I Cerakote my AR???

    A few things, all just my opinion of course...

    1.) Nice!! Looks great as it is! FWIW
    2.) I love the Burnt Bronze cerakote color and had it applied to my LR308. Looks awesome with black furniture, but...
    3.) Im not sure how good that color would look with FDE furniture...

    My vote would be to leave it black or have a matching FDE cerakote applied. Either way I think it would look great.
     
    Re: Should I Cerakote my AR???

    I normally do not spray Burnt Bronze, I will mix it at a 24:1 ratio to get the flat look, but I will do 16 mL of Burnt Bronze and 8 mL of Armor black and it flattens out the bronze and darkens it up pretty good and makes a good looking color. Ill try and post a picture of pure Burnt Bronze vs the "Dark Bronze"

    The 2 pictures above are both of the same gun coated in burnt bronze with FDE parts
     
    Re: Should I Cerakote my AR???

    The burnt bronze looks cool if you don't have to blend in like a shtf rifle. I would go multi cam just in case. No matter what you do your rifle is going to look bad as.
     
    Re: Should I Cerakote my AR???

    If the furniture was black, I'd say burnt bronze, otherwise leave it as is.
     
    Re: Should I Cerakote my AR???

    Also I already have a multicam rifle Dont want to do anything like that...
