Gunsmithing Cerakote color similar to matte blue finish?

[Billyboy]

Which color would be similar to a factory matte or semi-gloss blue finish? Graphite black, titanium blue, midnight blue, or some mixture? Got a 22 I'd like to coat, but keep the walnut/blue look. Thanks!

Midnight purple would be what your looking for, should be some pics of it if you google it

You might also try SOCOM Blue with Graphite Black to darken it.

I had pretty good luck with that combination.

SOCOM Blue is pretty close to a darker bluing look.

Cerakote makes a clear coat that you can use if you don't want the normal mat finish.

You can also adjust the sheen somewhat by slightly varying the hardener ratio.
