    Cerakote Ideas - Gimme!

    I am going to take my upper/lower/handguard to get cerakoted tomorrow but I am stuck on ideas. Originally thought of doing a titanium blue but have since changed my mind to something more "grey."

    Can Anyone Recommend Spray Can Color Similar to AI Green?

    Photos High Temp Cerakote For Suppressor

    I had run my suppressor a little hot on a 7.5" barrel. It of course destroyed the bluing on it, along with my rough use during run and gun drills caused a lot of scratching, nicking, and marring on it. It looked damn ugly actually. So I decided to hit up Hide member Short-busShort-bus to paint...

    Gunsmithing Do you have to blue before paint?

    Is it necessary to blue a barrel before painting or is it O.K. to leave it in the white? The rifle is planned to be painted in a camo pattern, but does bluing offer any other protection under Krylon?
